And hooking you on that ease still helps Amazon's bottom line, since getting you to spend the time and money driving to those pickup points costs Amazon way less than bringing them to you. But if pickup works like it should, it will save you time. In other words, Amazon may not save you money compared to the other big chains. Instead, it will no doubt play to its strengths-in this case, logistics, tweaking prices using algorithms, and ease of use-to win customers over through sheer convenience. Amazon will likely try to be competitive on price, but it probably won't go all in on a race to the bottom. "That captures Amazon’s culture really well," says ChannelAdvisor executive chairman Scot Wingo, an analyst who tracks Amazon closely. It can focus its efforts on winning these markets without needing to over-commit resources to any kind of broader national rollout.Īs with so much else it does, Amazon will also likely focus on user experience over profit to win over new customers. “But the history of retail doesn’t bear that out." For one thing, Amazon already knows where it has a high concentration of Prime members. "Everyone likes to talk about all these things as if it’s a 'winner take all' market," says Goldberg. Basically, Amazon doesn’t have to win the entire grocery game to do well.
