Proposed Marketing Plan for Amazon.com
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Amazon.com has experienced exceptional growth since the company's inception in early 1994. The company has grown to a massive online superstore with recent sales of $1.64 billion in 1999, an increase of 270% from the previous year's sales. The stellar grow of the company's sales can be attributed to a very strong product situation. Amazon.com's initial target market, online book consumers, proved to be very lucrative. In addition, the expansion into more diverse product offerings beyond books, such as music, DVD & video, toys, electronics, home improvement and auctions only served to increase the company's product portfolio. In order to expand Amazon.com's position Insight Solutions has identified an aggressive marketing strategy to broaden the companies target market, expand the product positioning to all consumer goods, focus distribution outlets through the top ten web sites and price items at a low but profitable margin.
To ensure this plan is successful,! Insight Solutions also recommends four action plans involving, increasing name recognition, target market, product marketing and distribution management.

This is a functional marketing objective, but the thoughts are a little "jumbled" together. Some organization would help.
