Many apps \u2014 especially in China and South America \u2014 already offer immersive ecommerce options beyond digital downloads. For example, the sale of physical products has been a feature in WeChat for years.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, Amazon is among the leaders in both ecommerce and application infrastructure. Thus Amazon Anywhere has the potential for widespread ecommerce impact, potentially altering shopper expectations, competition for in-app ecommerce placements, marketing strategies, and data collection opportunities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Customer experience. <\/strong>For consumers, buying in-app merchandise could establish new shopping habits.<\/p>\n<p>This might be a matter of convenience. Consider Amazon Alexa devices. Alexa is ready to notify a shopper when it is time to reorder a product. Amazon Anywhere could offer similar reminders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Placement and development. <\/strong>Amazon Anywhere might also create opportunities for app developers who could make any number of games or applications that incorporate the sales of physical goods.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine an app called &#8220;Find this on Amazon&#8221; that permits a user to take a picture of just about any product and purchase it with a single click from inside the application. This would be dead easy with Anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>And this is just one simple way developers might integrate the Amazon Marketplace with Anywhere and derive revenue from paid product placements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Marketing opportunities. <\/strong>Since it brings the company&#8217;s marketplace of physical products to all sorts of mobile apps and games, Amazon Anywhere could also create many new and interesting marketing opportunities for ecommerce retailers and brands.<\/p>\n<p>Examples include paid insertions within an app&#8217;s mini Amazon marketplace, new ways of engaging content creators and influencers, and options for DTC brands to build apps that integrate with their Amazon store.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Data collection. <\/strong>Amazon Anywhere might create opportunities to collect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/gathering-storm-for-digital-advertising\">first-party<\/a> psychographic or even demographic info.<\/p>\n<p>An application developer could gain insights based on the products selected from Amazon Anywhere. Similarly, an application promoting its own physical merchandise \u2014 as in the Niantic and Peridot example \u2014 could access demographic data such as shoppers&#8217; names and physical addresses after their purchases.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1521584\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1521584\" class=\"wp-image-1521584 size-large\" title=\"Screenshot on a smartphone of Amazon marketplace incorporated into an app\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/051323-amazon-anywhere-570x380.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot on a smartphone of Amazon marketplace incorporated into an app\" width=\"570\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/051323-amazon-anywhere-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/051323-amazon-anywhere-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/051323-amazon-anywhere-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/051323-amazon-anywhere-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/051323-amazon-anywhere-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.practicalecommerce.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/051323-amazon-anywhere.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1521584\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Amazon Anywhere adds physical product sales into games and applications.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Suppliers. <\/strong>App developers could sell themed merchandise such as t-shirts, coffee mugs, pillows, and stickers.
