- The success of use of ecommerce by Amazon and Strand Book Store Inc has attracted other sellers of different items such as toys, electronic goods and other to partner with them to sell their products (Amazon, 2009). This partnership has mutual benefits to the partnering companies in quest to tap more market.

However, they have diversified their operations to meet the other needs of their customers so that they would get more customer traffics who visit their sites to buy those additional goods and in the process they will be wooed to purchase books especially the ones in offer.
- Amazon was the first company in use of ecommerce to overcome the challenge of meeting their customers needs who were increasing by the day and were at different geographical regions (Amazon, 2009).

Use of Mobiles to advertise is much cheap and convenient to the books sellers. They collect contacts as the customers purchases their goods or enquire from the book stores. When ever they are having promotions they use those contacts to forward messages to them which has proved to be much more effective because the mode of conveying the message is much more personal.
