href=\"http:\/\/blog.profitero.com\/2013\/12\/profitero-reveals-that-amazoncom-makes.html\"><em>study by Profitero<\/em><\/a><em>, Amazon changes the prices of its products as often as 2.5 million times a day.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s pretty insane to think about, especially when you compare it to other online retailers such as Best Buy and Walmart who only change their prices about 50,000 times <em>a month.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon\u2019s dynamic pricing strategy is part of its business model to provide the lowest price to sellers for products that are popular.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, it should come as no surprise that Amazon is constantly discounting products in order to provide its customers with the lowest prices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But are you really getting low prices or does it just seem that way?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Amazon\u2019s strategy (called dynamic pricing) has been put in place to make customers happy, it can sometimes definitely have the opposite effect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consumers have reported being annoyed by the fact that they have seen a product\u2019s price drop right after they buy it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of some customers being annoyed by this Amazon pricing strategy, Amazon reported a <a href=\"https:\/\/dzone.com\/articles\/big-data-analytics-delivering-business-value-at-am\">sales profit increase of 27.2% in 2013<\/a> when this strategy was first implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, how does Amazon implement this Dynamic Pricing Strategy?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, you have to understand that the ultimate goal of this strategy is to invoke a sense in the customer that they are getting the best price for a specific product on Amazon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#179ab6\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"

active customer accounts.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">With all of this data, you better believe that Amazon is putting it to good use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">Amazon has sophisticated algorithms in place to process all this data in order to determine the best prices for their products at any given time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">Amazon\u2019s algorithm analyzes an array of factors such as customers\u2019 shopping patterns, competitors\u2019 prices, profit margins, inventory, and much more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">As a result of all this analysis, Amazon ensures that the prices of their products are always lower than other online retailers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">Thus, that\u2019s how they maintain their low prices to attract and maintain their customer base.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:8px\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, does Amazon\u2019s Dynamic Pricing Strategy mean you get the best prices for all products compared to other online retailers?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Actually, no.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has been found that while Amazon does undercut other major online retailers when it comes to popular items when it comes to uncommon items, Amazon actually <em>raises the prices.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Amazon might discount the prices for bestsellers compared to other online retailers. On the other hand, it would raise the prices for more obscure books.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea here is to attract as many customers as possible by offering the lowest prices on the most popular items.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>It is assumed that when a customer first starts shopping on Amazon, they will look for the most popular and common products (whose prices will be super low thanks to Amazon\u2019s Dynamic Pricing Strategy).&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This will cause them to think that Amazon has the best prices compared to most other online retailers.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once this seed is planted in a consumer\u2019s brain, they\u2019ll be hooked to Amazon. Thus, they&#8217;re more likely to pay higher prices for less popular products in the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#179ab6\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:8px\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boomerangcommerce.com\/ppi-whitepaper-rboomerang\/\">study by Boomerang Commerce<\/a>: \u201cAmazon may not actually be the lowest-priced seller of a particular product in any given season.

Amazon\u2019s profit margins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">Their dynamic pricing model gives Amazon a unique advantage over other retailers.&nbsp;<br>Amazon uses it

on about how dynamic pricing (when done right) can bring you to the top as a major retailer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this might be true in Amazon\u2019s case, the truth of the matter is that dynamic pricing does not come without its pitfalls.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about them:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_Jeopardizes_Customer_Loyalty\"><\/span>It Jeopardizes Customer Loyalty&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We talked about how Amazon uses dynamic pricing to attract customers and make them addicted to the platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this is true for most consumers, there definitely are buyers out there who don\u2019t agree with the strategy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some consumers may believe that dynamic pricing strategies are <strong>inherently manipulative and unethical.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to this, these types of consumers may avoid retailers that employ these strategies and prefer shops that provide more price transparency.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#179ab6\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex

above, dynamic pricing can have the adverse effect of a consumer buying a product only to find that its price has dropped just ten minutes later.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:8px\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This can cause the consumer to feel cheated by Amazon, thus, destroying the brand\u2019s image in their eyes. Something like this can definitely cause an average consumer to swear off the platform and never use it again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_Not_Always_100_Accurate\"><\/span>It\u2019s Not Always 100% Accurate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Running your platform using dynamic pricing strategies can be thought of as an eternal balancing act.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The algorithm has to work constantly in order to balance prices for millions of products.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it sets prices too high, this could negatively impact sales and drive customers away. If it sets prices too low, then this could hurt profit margins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason why Amazon has been so successful with this strategy compared to any other retailer in the past is because of two reasons:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It has the largest database of consumer data out of any other retailer in the world.&nbsp;<\/li><li>It has developed the most sophisticated and powerful algorithm to parse through and analyze this data and implement appropriate changes.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, no matter how strong an algorithm is, it really cannot account for all events that occur in the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s definitely likely that Amazon\u2019s algorithm is <em>not <\/em>going to fail any time soon but it\u2019s definitely a constant danger that Amazon has to be wary of.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And to make matters worse, Amazon is the largest online retailer in the world.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, if its algorithm makes some mistake and causes prices of certain products to become ridiculously high or low, this incident will definitely go viral and negatively impact the brand\u2019s image.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may drive away a ton of consumers from the platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Increased_Competition\"><\/span>Increased Competition&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you implement dynamic pricing to offer the minimum price on products compared to your competitors, naturally, your competitors are going to do something about it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, this results in a <strong>price war.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A price war is just a cool term for when different retailers start to decrease the prices of certain products in order to outdo their competitors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this is great for consumers, it\u2019s not so great for retailers as they have to accept lower profit margins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Find_the_Best_Prices_as_a_Consumer\"><\/span>How to Find the Best Prices as a Consumer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With everything that we\u2019ve learned over the course of this post, we have two takeaways for consumers that can help them find the best prices for products that they\u2019re looking for:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Determine_the_Right_Time_to_Purchase_a_Product\"><\/span>1. Determine the Right Time to Purchase a Product&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve concluded that Amazon pricing constantly changes for all of its products.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering this, you\u2019re going to want to identify a time where the price of a certain product is at its lowest when you buy it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But how do you do that?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, it depends on a number of factors but the most important one is what the product is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you want to buy toys or games for your children, it may be a good idea to wait till the holiday season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s when everyone will be buying gifts for their children and as a result, Amazon\u2019s pricing model will cause price drops for all such products.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing you can do is employ the use of an Amazon price tracker such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.camelcamelcamel.com\/\">CamelCamelCamel.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These trackers analyze Amazon price changes for products and provide you with the best time to buy certain items.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Compare_Prices_for_Uncommon_Products\"><\/span>2. Compare Prices for Uncommon Products&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve identified above how Amazon\u2019s dynamic pricing tactic does not provide the best prices for <em>all products.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It only does so for popular products.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, if you\u2019re looking for a more obscure product or something that not a lot of people buy regularly, it can be a good idea to compare prices with other retailers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chances are you may find a much better deal with some other online retailer rather than Amazon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrapping_Things_Up%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>Wrapping Things Up\u2026&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, this is why price drops and increases occur so frequently on Amazon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope we were able to shed some light on why Amazon prices change so quickly and that you now have a better understanding of when and how to buy products off the platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have any insights on finding better prices for products on Amazon?
