The “Amazon Factor” — Why you Need to Adapt to an On-Demand Business Model
What do Amazon, Lyft and Airbnb have in common? An on-demand business model that exceeds consumer expectations. Their business revolves around exceptional ease of use, point-and-click delivery, and fair pricing. They filled a void before anyone even knew that the void existed. Consumers have become accustomed to convenience, and with today’s “need-it-now” mentality, it’s important that startups understand how to create scalable consumer experiences that make life easy for the customer. Experts discuss how their business thrives on this on-demand model.
