The 26-Point Checklist for Closing the Amazon Gap

Personalization is a critical part of Amazon’s success.

In his 1997 letter to Amazon shareholders, Bezos wrote:

“Today, online commerce saves customers money and precious time. Tomorrow, through personalization, online commerce will accelerate the very process of discovery.”
