Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #683
Hey there and Happy New Year again to you. Thanks for being part of the community. Today I want to just report to you basically, how big this holiday season was for Amazon, and how this ties in, of course, to Alexa.
As usual, it was a huge holiday season for Amazon, and this really comes as no surprise to me, you know, with voice technology catching on the way it is.
I don’t know if this surprises you, but… anyway, let me tell you a little bit what Amazon says. So, they looked at a number of their stats and they said that first of all, this holiday season was record-breaking thanks to customers all around the world.
Billions of items were ordered worldwide, and tens of millions of Amazon devices were purchased worldwide.
They noted that the top selling products this year, where you take a guess, what’s the number one selling product?
It was a huge holiday season for Amazon.
Of course it’s the Amazon Echo Dot with Alexa, the Fire TV stick with the Alexa voice remote, and the Echo Show 5. Surprise! All three of the top sellers from Amazon included Alexa.
As far as the Alexa enabled devices, Amazon stated that customers worldwide purchased tens of millions of these devices. And as I mentioned, these included a number of different devices.
So, I’ll finish off here. Jeff Bezos did say on behalf of all of the Amazonians, “We wish everyone the happiest of holidays and a fantastic 2020.” Well, I too wish you a fantastic 2020.
And, this show that there’s no sign of Amazon slowing down, and I look forward to seeing what 2020 brings in terms of all these new Echo devices that seem to just be coming at an incredibly rapid rate.
So all the best, and I will talk to you again tomorrow.
