Do you shop online? Do you find yourself checking Amazon (founded by Jeff Bezos) first? Well! You’re not alone. Amazon is consumers’ first stop as mentioned in many studies. While in my case It’s again Amazon and the most common reason has to be the cheapest prices available by the website on almost all the products especially books.

Also, the cheapest price is of course not the only reason for shopping online at Amazon there are many including the services, delivery costs and the prime membership benefits etc. Amazon in the past years have changed the face of retail.

Amazon’s CEO Bezos left his job as vice-president of D. E. Shaw & Co., a Wall Street firm, and moved to Seattle, Washington. He began to work on a business plan for what eventually become Amazon.com. Founder Jeff Bezos’s motto was “get big fast.” The company was founded in 1994 as a result of what Bezos called his “regret minimization framework,” which is described in his words here:

“I wanted to project myself forward to age 80 and say, ‘Okay, now I’m looking back on my life. I want to have minimized the number of regrets I have,'” explains Bezos. “Also, I knew that when I was 80 I was not going to regret having tried this. I was not going to regret trying to participate in this thing called the Internet that I thought was going to be a really big deal.”

“I knew that if I failed I wouldn’t regret that, but I knew the one thing I might regret is not ever having tried. Also, I knew that that would haunt me every day, and so, when I thought about it that way it was an incredibly easy decision.” – Jeff Bezos

And the rest is as they say is history.
