We will examine our competition and the stores where its consumers shop to determine whether anything they are doing will benefit us. We will obtain this information because practically all our business and consumers are online. Our devoted customers who have made purchases at least four times in the last year will receive an assessment first. Next, we'll try to connect with clients who have placed at least one order in the last year. When these phases are finished, we'll try to connect with new clients. It will take the form of an online survey. We will abide by all privacy regulations and advise customers of how we intend to utilize the data to improve their online shopping experience. We'll try to compile customers gender, location, age, and profession. To observe the differences in the various regions based on the time of year I want to send out 2 times the first year. This will initially be conducted within the United States, with surveys thereafter being sent outside and expanding to other nations. This analysis will help us determine how to focus on areas that will help us 3 with profitability rather than just volume to be more competitive in the future. While expanding our market is something we do, we also want to be profitable. Most of our evaluation will focus on our SWOT analysis, which revealed our strengths and opportunities. These are the areas we believe we need to improve upon. This analysis will help us clarify our objectives so that we can concentrate on areas that will improve our profitability rather than just volume to remain competitive in the future. While expanding our market is something we do, we also want to be profitable. These are the areas we believe we need to improve upon and expand upon. We want to be heard on a global scale and resolve whatever mistakes we may have made both internally and externally that we have mentioned. This will also assist us in meeting the needs of both our present and potential future customers. Based on our investigation and how we might better serve our customers, we will formulate our recommendations. We will share our details and take specific measures based on the survey's recommendations, and we'll do this in a way that benefits both Amazon and our customers. When this analysis is completed and reviewed, we will use this information to secure our investors and funding by reviewing the results with them and explain our plan moving forward and any expansion we are thinking. The chart will be our visual aide along with information received from the surveys. This will show we are on track with our business plan and a timeline for completion and all systems evaluated and completed.
