5 interesting facts about e-commerce
1 – Broken pen
One of the world's largest auction sites, eBay, was founded in 1995. The first item sold on the site was a powder data laser pen, which fetched $14.83. The pen was sold by eBay's founder, Pierre Omidyars. He found the sale so intriguing that he contacted the buyer to make sure he knew the pen was broken. Not only did the buyer know, he was a collector of broken laser pens.
This made Pierre realize that anything could have a chance of being sold on his website.
2 – Amazon’s profit
Amazon was also founded in 1995 and its motto has always been to sell products at low prices. However, this motto meant that the company took a long time to reap the rewards of its sales. One of the interesting facts about Amazon is that it only made a profit for the first time in 2003, closing the year in the black for the first time.
Amazon is currently one of the largest e-commerce companies in the world and sells more than 300 products per second during the end-of-year holidays.
3 – Group purchases
The idea of group buying came from the behavior of some Chinese consumers. These people would get together and go to stores to make purchases in large quantities and negotiate discounts.
This type of sale migrated to the internet in 2008 with the creation of Groupon, one of the largest group buying websites in the world. The group buying model was very popular and the company received purchase proposals of up to US$6 billion. The company refused all purchase offers and its value is currently estimated at US$4.5 billion.
4 – Best colors
There are many studies on the effect of colors on our brain. They say that red is the best color to associate with food, which is why we see many restaurants and cafes using this color in their visual identity. One interesting fact is that e-commerce also has some stimulating colors.
