Essay on Our Local Market

We have a small market near our house it is our local market. Though it is not very big, one can buy almost everything there.

The marketplace is always crowded. The shops are mostly small in size. Some shops sell fruits and dairy products, some sell groceries, some sell fish, some sell utensils, some sell gift items and stationery. One can also find shops selling electronic goods. There are shops for repairing damaged things also.

In the middle of the market, there is a big medical store. It has all kinds of medicines available.

There is also a nice bakery shop just outside the market. It sells delicious cakes and cookies. I love to go to the market as my mother busy me goodies like candies and cakes.

Essay on “A Market Scene” Complete Essay for Class 10, Class 12 and Graduation and other classes.

A market scene.

The Market Scene In A Town

Essay No. 1

The market of may town is very important. There is no other place of grain market in the area of so much brisk business as this market is.

The market itself is in the centre of the town. All important bazaars of the town lead to this market. It has square shape. There is an open ground in the middle of the shops. There are shops on the four sides of the big square. The main shopkeepers are regents. Their trade is chiefly export and import of grains. There are a few shops which meet needs of the  people  who visit the market for purchase.

The crowd scene in the market is very interesting. It is a centre of attraction for both buyers and sellers. I always find a big crowd there. Businessmen come from far and wide. They transact business. The market is always crowded with carts, horses, donkeys and camels. They come loaded with the produce of the season such as cotton, grain, oil seeds, gur and vegetables. These things are arranged in an attractive manner for sale.

The merchants make  their purchases moving in groups. They bid in  a particular fashion. They do some indications udder the clothes to fix the rates of the commodities brought in the market for sale. The purchase of commodities  take place in the day. In the evening all commodities are packed in jute bags. They are sent back to places where they are in demand. The country carts, horses and donkeys go back with their masters to the villages. Nearly all the shops have telephones. The shopkeepers get news about the rates of markets through post and telephone. 

The market of my town is a very noisy place. Pretty hawkers with namkins of various kinds go about the market. They sell their articles by shouting their names at the top of their voice. Once can meet all sorts of people there. There is joy and laughter on all sides. Friends welcome one another. People discuss politics in the light of their business.

The market of my town is different from old markets. It is not dirty. It is swept and cleaned every day. There is no mud and bad smell. In the centre of the market there is a well. A trough is made near it. The animals drinks water at the trough. There is public bath for the labourers. In short our town market is worth a visit. 

Essay No. 2

A market is a place where we buy vegetables, fruits, fish, fowls and meat. It is the biggest concentration of noise every morning. It is filled with a crows of mainly buyers.

The central market in Kuala Lumpur is not only a landmark  but is also one of the best attractions in the city. It is really an experience to go round the stalls during their busy hours. Business at the Central Market starts in the early hours of the day. Vans and Lorries bring loads of fish and meat to the vendors. Usually nonperishable things are brought overnight. But green vegetables are brought early in the morning. The smooth and efficient working of the market is really appreciable. 

This market is in a huge concrete building. The stalls are arranged in beautiful rows, they are also classified according to the goods they deal with. Fruits, vegetables, fish, fowls and meat; all have their respective dealers. Buyers and sellers haggle and haggle over prices. They push and jostle to get the best offer.

The market is under city authorities. So health inspectors are responsible for its cleanliness. They have to see that the foodstuffs that are sold are free from defects. Thus unscrupulous stall keepers and vendors are warned against selling rotten, unpalatable or poisonous food stuff.

Essay No. 3

There are many markets in Delhi. Chandni Chowk, Tilak Nagar, Lajpat Nagar, Sarojini Nagar and Connaught Place are some of the big and famous markets.

The Promises and Problems of Buying Local

By Peter Coy

Opinion Writer

You can crisscross North Dakota from Fargo to Bismarck to Minot and never see a Walgreens, Rite-Aid or Walmart pharmacy. With narrow exceptions, a 1963 state law prohibits drugstores that aren’t majority-owned by a pharmacist. (CVS Health, whose predecessor company was already in the state in 1963, is grandfathered in.)

To “buy local” people, this is very heaven. Stacy Mitchell, a co-director of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance in Portland, Maine, wrote to me that North Dakota is “the state with the most pharmacies per capita, the largest share of rural census tracts served by a pharmacy and, in its cities, the largest number of competing pharmacies.”

There are conflicting claims about whether the law has made prices higher or lower. What’s not in dispute is that the law is durable. It has withstood multiple challenges in court, repeal efforts in the state Legislative Assembly and even a statewide ballot initiative .

North Dakota, by the way, also has a public bank and a state-owned flour mill, both founded shortly after World War I, so it’s kind of different. Do North Dakotans know something about self-reliance that the rest of us don’t?

I’m about half persuaded. I’m also feeling a lot of overlap between this newsletter and the Friday one about airlines, which talked about major carriers pulling out of smaller cities, leaving them isolated.

The argument against “buy local” is that there are gains from trade. The theory is that prosperity is greatest when people, and countries, focus their efforts on what they’re best at and buy everything else from other people who also specialize. Taylor Swift should not try to play football for a living, and Travis Kelce shouldn’t try to sing. (Begging you, Travis.)

For the rest of this newsletter, I’m going to pit Stacy Mitchell, the apostle of self-reliance, against two University of Chicago economists, Chang-Tai Hsieh and Esteban Rossi-Hansberg, who wrote “The Industrial Revolution in Services,” a paper published digitally last year in The Journal of Political Economy Macroeconomics.

The Chicago economists presented evidence that customers benefit when a national chain in a service industry enters a market that has been served only by small, local operators. “The entry of top service firms into new local markets has led to substantial unmeasured productivity growth, particularly in small markets,” they wrote.

What about the claim that the national chains put the locals out of business, allowing the chains to monopolize the market? That’s not what typically happens, Hsieh told me in an interview. The locals do lose market share, but they don’t usually go out of business. The market share that the national chain obtains is usually smaller than the market share that the local operators had before it entered, he said.

According to Hsieh, McCaffrey’s Food Market was the only supermarket in Princeton, N.J., when he took a job at the university in 1998. Then Wegmans, a chain based in Rochester, N.Y., came to town. “On the opening day there was a line of people,” he said, resorting to anecdote rather than data to get his point across. “They wanted to be the first ones to get into the store.” Since then, Whole Foods has also opened a store in Princeton, and McCaffrey’s is still in business. Consumers, Hsieh said, are better off.

“When chains come to town, first of all, they bring the productivity that made them a successful chain in the first place,” Rossi-Hansberg said. They also bring variety, he said. “Now you can go to every town in America and have a macchiato.”

We also talked about hospital mergers, which have alarmed antitrust authorities. In big cities, big nonprofit hospital chains have been scooping up smaller independents. “What’s not mentioned frequently is that whenever they do this, what they also do is build networks of outpatient clinics that never existed,” Hsieh said.

Mitchell told me how much she likes to shop at locally owned establishments and small chains in Portland. She loves Maine Hardware, which calls itself “Proudly local, fiercely independent, wicked helpful.” The store is connected with Ace Hardware Corp., a buying cooperative that’s entirely owned by local retailers.

“The theory that when national companies spread to smaller cities and towns, they provide more competition in those local markets sounds good,” she wrote in a follow-up email. “But one can point to many past examples where the opposite was the case — ultimately leading to much less competition and community harms. The proliferation of national supermarket chains like Walmart and Kroger has left local grocery markets far more consolidated and less competitive, for example.”

Mitchell added: “Independent businesses can hold their own against national competitors — if there’s a level playing field. Meaning robust antitrust enforcement, an end to tax loopholes and subsidies that favor big business, access to capital and so on.”

Local ownership is also better for democracy, Mitchell said. She pointed me to the legislative history of the Celler-Kefauver Antimerger Act of 1950, which changed the test of illegality to outlaw a wider range of mergers. Estes Kefauver, a Democratic senator from Tennessee who cosponsored the law, warned that “central managers decide the policies and the fate of the far-flung enterprises they control. Millions of people depend helplessly on their judgment.”

Hsieh and Rossi-Hansberg also invoked democracy, but from a different perspective. “I think we should let people choose what they want,” Hsieh said. “If things are really better, I think it would be really dangerous for someone to say, ‘You cannot make that choice.’”

Hard to argue with that. As with the question of what to do about airlines, there are trade-offs. Self-reliance, price and variety are all relevant concerns; different people will weigh them differently. The challenge comes when one decision must be made for many, as in North Dakota. There may be cases in which banning or limiting competition from outside is the right choice, but the hurdle should be set high.

Outlook: David Berson

There is a 42 percent chance of a modest recession in the U.S. economy this year, a 38 percent chance of a soft landing, a 12 percent chance of sticky inflation and an 8 percent chance of something else, good or bad, David Berson, the chief U.S. economist for Cumberland Advisors, wrote in a client note on Friday. “The good news is that, unlike in 2007, major sectors of the economy are not in severe disequilibrium,” he wrote. “So, a deep recession appears unlikely for now (which is not to say that certain sectors of the economy — perhaps office buildings — won’t be hit hard).”

Quote of the Day

“The evil was not in bread and circuses, per se, but in the willingness of the people to sell their rights as free men for full bellies and the excitement of the games which would serve to distract them from the other human hungers which bread and circuses can never appease.”

— Ben Moreell, the board chairman of Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp., “Of Bread and Circuses” in The Freeman ( Jan. 1, 1956 )

An earlier version of this article misspelled the name of a business. It is Maine Hardware, not Main Hardware.

Essay On A Visit to Market

• Post category: Essay
• Reading time: 4 mins read

One day I accompanied my mother to our local market. She had gone to buy vegetables and groceries.

The market place was very crowded. There was hardly any space for us to move about. The place was very noisy. It was lovely to see the piles of vegetables and fruits in the market. My mother bought plenty of vegetables and also some fruits. I helped her to carry her shopping bag.

She then went to a grocer’s shop. She bought some groceries. There were many other shops besides the grocer’s shop. There were sweet-meat shops, flower sellers’ shops, shops selling utensils, crockery, cutlery and textiles. Several hawkers went about shouting their wares. They had combs, ribbons, buttons and sundry articles for sale.

In that big crowd there must have been some pickpockets. A lady’s purse was snatched away and she shouted to raise an alarm. People were running towards her, but nobody knew who was the thief. The poor lady lost her money. She could not do any shopping that day.

Cattle moved about in the market and tried to eat up the vegetables. The vendors drove them away and shouted at them. A lot of bargaining goes on in every market. The seller never tells the buyer the correct price of a thing. So the seller and the buyer go on bargaining until they arrive at a price suitable to both.

| enjoyed my visit to the market, particularly as my mother bought me some sweets. I munched my sweets happily on my way to home. I made up my mind to visit the market again when I got a chance to do so.

Why local marketing is so important & how to do it right

Jan 18, 2022 | Marketing best practices , Tips for small businesses

Here at Saltoria, we are big champions of the importance of local marketing for your business. This is especially important if you’re starting out, but it’s also super relevant for big businesses too. Have you ever thought about how focusing on local marketing could help transform your brand? 

Local marketing can be a powerful way to get recognition in your local community and then build on for growth into other markets. What’s more, local marketing can also help you reach brand-new audiences and communities whilst boosting your search rankings and online traffic. Ultimately, it’s a great and ‘safe’ way to learn about what works with your marketing campaigns and then scale up for larger/national audiences.

Why is local marketing so important?

Put simply, local marketing is great for building your brand integrity and reputation. By building up your local audience you begin to create local cheerleaders for your brand which will bring referrals and repeat customs. The presence of a small community will help you create buzz and further enhance the integrity of your brand in your space. This is all great for SEO too. In fact, if you rank high on Google amongst your local competitors then you’ll soon be first in mind with local customers. 

Local marketing is especially important if you have a brick and mortar business location or a service that is specific to your area. People need to know you exist and they need to know you’re the best business for what you do. If your business exists to serve your local community then it’s essential that you focus on this! But, we can’t stress enough how important it is for all businesses too. 

7 tips to get local marketing right

1. build your network locally and then scale up.

Local marketing is a great way to ‘test the waters’ and learn as you go. Rather than starting on a big national/global scale, get it right in your local community, learn fast, make tweaks and then scale up. Build loyal and solid relationships locally and carefully build momentum and credibility. This is also a fantastic way to start growing your brand and your reputation (your brand awareness strategy) alongside promoting your products or services. 

But wait! How can you do this well?

• Build links with local like minded businesses. They will recommend you to their customers and you can leverage off their brand presence. Maybe collaborate with them on an offer or an event? 
• Make referrals and recommendations the norm! Encourage your staff to refer customers to nearby/like-minded businesses (not competitors!) and begin creating a referral network for yourself and other fab local businesses. Being in it together will be more powerful than not and this in turn will help promote and enhance the wider local business community. 
• Events and networking sessions are a great way to meet new people and spread the word. This can be online or in-person. Both can be equally useful and effective. For more online networking tips, check out our recent blog: 6 ways to improve your online networking skills .
• Start a simple but smart retention campaign for your best customers e.g. loyalty discounts or refer a friend schemes. Email marketing is a fantastic and affordable way to do this in an engaging and easy way.
• Embrace your local community in your store/office. Celebrate local life on your social media channels, have local literature in store and use local suppliers whenever possible. Supporting local businesses is now expected for many businesses. It will not only make you feel good but it’ll encourage support from other businesses too. Looking out for each other is both lovely and wholesome and beneficial for everyone involved!

2. Prioritise personal relationships 

When you are scaling up (and beyond!) it’s important to know your customers, partners and stakeholders and know them well. Get to know your neighbours, your suppliers, like-minded businesses and your most frequent customers. Don’t just say hello and a fleeting ‘you alright?’…really get to know them. Learn what makes them tick, what they’re passionate about and what winds them up. You can learn so much from these individuals and by becoming as personable as you can you’ll build up a reputation for being genuine, thoughtful and most importantly, memorable. 

Make people feel good about themselves, make their day and know their name and the name of their dog. These details matter and people will want to work with you, purchase from you and shout about you to their network if you’ve made a memorable impression on them. Don’t ever take for granted how important these relationships are. 

3. Optimise for local SEO to boost your rankings

Local marketing is also a really great way to boost your business rankings on Google. This will not only help more local people know who you are and what you do, but it’ll mean your net may more likely reach an even wider audience too. There is an undoubtable rise in the support of local businesses since the pandemic. Data from the YouGov Covid-19 Tracker proves this point, with 62% of respondents saying that they will support local businesses or buy local produce post-pandemic . We encourage you to make the most of this!

How can you boost your local SEO? Our 3 top tips…

Make sure your Google My Business account is up to date and regularly updated. This is a super easy and straightforward way to give your company more exposure. 

We recommend you work on a strategy to optimise for local keywords . This could be a really quick win for your brand. Book a call with us if you’d like some support and advice in this area! 

Experiment with Geo-targeting adverts . Google Ads location targeting allows your ads to appear in the geographic locations that you choose e.g. a radius around a location, or location groups, which can include places of interest, your business locations, or tiered demographics.

4. Benefit from the power of word of mouth marketing 

We recently wrote an article titled ‘ Why word of mouth marketing is still so significant ’ so we suggest you read this if you’d like to find out more. Ultimately, word of mouth marketing is still significant, important and valuable. This is done best locally! 

By building great personal relationships and a wonderful community you’ll begin to create advocates for your brand. These people are invaluable! Long-lasting relationships will mean more referrals and will help with positive reviews and online/offline credibility. All of this will help with brand awareness and help improve your SEO. Win-win! 

5. Embrace local media and traditional marketing

It can be easy to dismiss more traditional types of marketing, especially when you’re trying your best to be modern and relevant to your audience. But, there is value in some of the more traditional local marketing tactics. So why not…

• Get in touch with your local media outlets. They are way more powerful than you realise! Local PR can have many many benefits and be fantastic for brand awareness and lead generation.
• Create a small postcard or business card (our favourite size is a7!) and distribute it in places where your typical customer might be e.g. shared working spaces, community centres and local cafes/venues. Add an enticing and exclusive call-to-action (e.g. a discount code or a free consultation) to get them keen!
• Collaborate with or sponsor local teams and events . This is a great way to give back but also gain consistent and constant exposure. Think carefully and choose who you partner with or sponsor wisely – but done right, this can be really effective. For example if you’re a local physiotherapist maybe partnering/sponsoring local sports teams could be a great idea? 
• Advertise in local publications (online & offline). Depending on your target audience this could be an excellent way of engaging your target market. Are there popular publications in your local area? Are there local forums or community groups where you can share a special discount?

6. Enjoy a ready-made focus group

Embrace the feedback from your local community and learn/adapt fast. This is a great way to improve your business quickly and effectively. You’ve got a ready-made focus group that you can constantly learn from. Listen carefully and use this feedback to your advantage.

Find creative ways to engage your audience, like votes/polls for new products or services or ask loyal customers how they’d like to be rewarded. Many national and global companies aren’t fortunate enough to be so close to their community. Welcome your local customers and let them keep you original and down-to-earth. We need more of that in 2022 as customers want authenticity and personality even more now. 

7. Use storytelling to inspire and engage

As marketers, we have seen the word ‘ storytelling ’ thrown around industry articles and videos for the past few years like it’s a brand-new concept and a cool new buzzword. The truth is, as business owners we all know that storytelling is the key to success. It’s likely that your product or service isn’t unique but your story and your approach is. Bring your story to the forefront of your brand and your marketing. Your customers want to be taken on a journey and they will want to see you succeed.

Do your best to make your story relevant, original and relatable to your local community. Is your story inspired by your local area? Perhaps you’ve solved a problem that began in your local town? Is there a reason you set your business up where you are? Have you got local expertise that helps you deliver better? Think carefully and celebrate your local relevance!

Do you need help defining your local marketing strategy? We are experienced with creating local marketing and networking strategies for individuals and their businesses. Why not sign up for our free 20 mins consultation to discuss more? We’d love to chat!

Local Level Marketing: Understanding Your Neighborhood Market

Corner stores, hole-in-the-wall successful establishments, and farm-to-table restaurants all have one thing in common: they are marketing at the local level and using their understanding of their immediate area to their benefit. Everyone can think of at least one such local business in their area that is embedded and in touch with the neighborhood and the trends and needs of the local market. It’s this marketing and branding strategy that can help drive different kinds of steady growth for a business. Having a dependable and consistent local customer base can provide stability when testing out new products or business ideas.

Marketing a global or national level is very different to marketing to your local neighborhood or region. Trends, fads, and hot topics are easier to research and track on the larger levels, since so much data is available online to the public, in terms of what business ideas are succeeding, failing, or developing for the future. In terms of the local market, businesses have to gather and assess data for themselves in order to understand their customers.

How to Present Your Business to a Local Audience

Building personal and connections with customers can start with both engaging through your business’s physical location as well as through social media. In terms of local engagement with a physical store, you can market using your storefront, in your local newspaper, and through other local channels of advertising. This way, those in the area learn about your business and come check out what you have to offer.

On the digital side, customers may learn about your business or provide feedback and reviews digitally. According to Hootsuite,  48% of U.S. consumers  have engaged with brands on social media. Social media is an excellent platform for attracting new customers to your business, as well as building relationships with existing and loyal returning customers. By offering personal engagement with your audience, they’re more likely to remember your business and think of your business in the future.

Being engaged online and on social media will also make your business easier to find using search algorithms in your local area. Since location-based searching in search engines and apps has become the standard for finding businesses to frequent, having active profiles on social media can help provide useful updates for curious potential customers. They can see any recent or local announcements, they can check out your social media content to get a feel for your brand, and they can get the logistical information about how to shop either online or in-person.

How to Act on Local Feedback

Implementing feedback from your customers, especially local and repeat customers, shows them that your priority is the growth and evolution of your business. By understanding and addressing feedback from your customers, you can showcase the relationships and impact your neighborhood has on your business and how your neighbors continue to help your business grow and flourish.

Shining a spotlight on your loyal customers and any feedback you get on a local level can also help you attract more customers who are curious to see if the buzz is true. Testimonials from customers, both positive and negative, can show potential customers more about your brand, and what matters to your business. You can use their feedback to adapt how your business runs, and even use feedback to drive future planning and marketing efforts.

Amazon: Local and Global Markets

Executive summary.

Based on sales, revenues, and global market share, Amazon has become one of the hallmarks of e-commerce in the United States. The advancements in information technology have contributed immensely to the growth and development of Amazon as a market leader in e-commerce, machine intelligence, and cloud computing industries. The analysis of the management reveals that Amazon employs a hierarchical organizational structure headed by the chief executive officer, J effrey Preston Bezos, with the help of directors in various departments, sections, and divisions. The current economic environment of the United States favors Amazon because the unemployment rate is about 4%, taxes are low, and the inflation rates are stable.

In essence, the central bank affects the performance of Amazon by influencing fiscal policies, interest rates, inflation rates, and exchange rates. The current government roots for the expansionary fiscal policy, which increases government expenditure, decrease taxes, and lowers interest rates.

Further analysis reveals that both local and global economic environments are favorable for Amazon. Macroeconomic factors, namely, taxation regime, unemployment rate, and fiscal policies, do not deter the growth and expansion of Amazon. In the global arena, free trade, globalization, and technology promote Amazon’s performance. However, trade barriers and regulations impose some restrictions, which compel Amazon to change its mode of operation.

The analysis of the effects of economic factors indicates that national income and international trade are important factors that influence economic decisions and development strategies based on the economic growth theory and the globalization theory, respectively. Therefore, the analysis recommends Amazon target countries with an increasing gross domestic product and low unemployment rates because they offer promising national income and those with limited trade restrictions to increase profits sustainably.

Introduction

Background information.

Since its inception in 1994 by a famous entrepreneur, Jeffrey Preston Bezos, Amazon has consistently grown and expanded to be one of the leading companies in the United States and across the world. Amazon commenced as a bookstore and ventured into music, videos, games, software, electronics, cloud computing, machine intelligence, and e-commerce after trading in stock markets. Operating in both local and global markets, Amazon has managed to remain a highly competitive retailer through the use of disruptive innovations.

Companies that operate in local and global markets such as Amazon are subject to the economic environment and macroeconomic factors. In this view, the analysis of the economic environment and macroeconomic factors allows the formulation of effective strategies aimed at improving the performance of Amazon in both local and global markets. The purpose of this company analysis is to assess the economic environment, the global presence, the effect of macroeconomic factors and recommend effective strategies for sustainable profitability.

Organizational Structure

The analysis of Amazon’s management reveals that it has a hierarchical organizational structure, which enables it to manage its extensive and varied global businesses. Hierarchical organizational structure allows the grouping of operations according to functions, products, and geographical divisions. The chief executive officer, Jeffrey Preston Bezos, makes strategic and operational decisions of Amazon and supervises their executions in various sections, departments, and divisions. Amazon classifies its operations across the world based on its functions.

Finance, Amazon web services (AWS), business development, international consumer business, and secretariat are some of the classifications of Amazon’s operations managed by directors and officers. In e-commerce, commands and directives exhibit hierarchy as they flow from the chief executive officer to directors of respective retail stores globally. As a global company, Amazon has geographic divisions that cover North America, South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the Pacific region. These divisions enable Amazon to customize its products and services to meet the unique needs of customers and promote seamless distribution networks.

The Current Economic Environment

Prevailing macroeconomic factors.

Macroeconomic factors in various countries, such as tax rates, fiscal policies, and unemployment rates, affect the performance of Amazon. The current tax regime in the United States requires consumers to pay sales tax when they purchase products from online retail stores. An increment in tax rates reduces the sales and profits of companies because the purchasing powers of consumers decline (Da, Warachka, & Yun, 2018).

The introduction of sales tax has compelled Amazon to increase the prices of its products to collect taxes from its customers in various states across the United States. The current unemployment rate of about 4% in the United States, which is the lowest ever in decades, implies that Americans have a satisfactory purchasing power and increased level of disposable income (Weise, 2018). The lowest unemployment rate has made Amazon increase its hourly rate of wages to $15.

Amazon made this decision to attract and retain employees in the competitive labor market. The expansionary fiscal policies have enabled Amazon to reduce prices of products, increase wages of employees, expand stores, and increase the budget for corporate social responsibility due to increases in disposable income, sales, and profits.

Roles of the Central Bank

The central bank has a critical role in regulating the economic environment, implementing monetary policies, capping interest rates, reducing inflation, and maintaining exchange rates. To stabilize the economy during recession and expansion economic cycles, the central bank implements expansionary and contractionary fiscal policies, respectively. In capping interest rates, the central banks prevent financial institutions from exploiting borrowers and causing inflation.

Given that inflation is one of the economic drivers of recession, the central bank aids in reducing inflation by employing contractionary fiscal policies. By regulating the supply of money in circulation, the central bank maintains or increases the value of a local currency relative to foreign currencies. Therefore, Amazon has to make its decisions in response to changes in the economic environment owing to the interventions of the central bank.

The Global Presence

The global climate.

The analysis of the global economic climate shows that Amazon operates in countries with different economic conditions and stabilities. The variation in economic statuses and stabilities predisposes Amazon to numerous economic challenges. Since the economic recession of 2008, the world has experienced a marked duration of economic stability, which has encouraged the growth of investments, the establishment of job opportunities, the decline in unemployment rates, and the ultimate increase in the amount of disposable income in the populations. The financial analysis reveals that the annual revenue of Amazon has increased exponentially in the past decade from $19.7 billion in 2008 to $232.89 billion in 2018 (Statistica, 2019).

The exponential increase in revenue reflects a favorable global economic environment characterized by increased spending among consumers. Political stability in developing countries has increased economic growth and development and consequently created new markets for Amazon to penetrate and expand its global markets. Zahonogo (2017) holds that economic stability in developing countries has augmented disposable income among consumers and opened new markets for global companies. For example, the expansion of the Internet and the use of computers and smartphones have significantly promoted Amazon’s e-commerce.

The performance of Amazon is subject to international regulations and policies, which control markets, products, and currencies. Given that Amazon is a leading global retailer, free trade stimulates its expansion and growth in new markets in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa due to its competitiveness. Globalization in the modern world promotes free trade because it permits local companies to grow and expand their markets into global markets and become multinational companies.

The assessment of Amazon shows that it is a multinational company, which relies heavily on free trade created by globalization drivers, such as information technology, international trade, and global investments. According to Czaika and Hass (2018), regulations that promote free trade allow multinational companies to penetrate untapped markets and expand their market share. Therefore, the existence of free trade opportunities in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia have permitted Amazon to expand its stores in new markets.

Trade Barriers

Trade barriers hurt the growth and expansion of Amazon because they limit their operations to specific jurisdictions. For fear of market dominance, monopoly, and competition, some countries impose trade barriers on their jurisdictions. Countries such as China, the United Arab Emirates, Britain, and Russia impose tariffs, quotas, and non-tariff forms of trade barriers to restrict and control their markets against overexploitation by multinationals. When Amazon encounters countries that employ tariffs, it decreases the prices of its products to cushion customers from bearing the full burden of taxes.

Moreover, Amazon considers dealing with high-end products with premium prices to customers. In countries that offer quotas as their trade barrier, Amazon utilizes a diversification strategy to optimize set quotas in numerous commodities. In overcoming non-tariff trade barriers, such as the importation of quality, ethical, and eco-friendly products, Amazon adapts its products to meet the distinctive needs of countries and customers. Hence, trade barriers dictate the nature and the volume of products that Amazon supply to various jurisdictions across the world.

Impact of NAFTA

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has a positive impact on Amazon because it eliminates trading barriers, which hinder the United States, Mexico, and Canada from importing and exporting their products to various markets of interest.

Through NAFTA, Amazon has managed to explore and penetrate Canadian and Mexican markets. Since its ratification in 1994, NAFTA has provided immense support to the growth and expansion of Amazon in North America. Barajas , Sisto, Gaytán, Cantú, and López (2014) report that trade volumes between the three countries that form NAFTA because they freely export and import products and satisfy the diverse needs of their citizens. The enormous market benefits that Amazon has accrued from NAFTA have made it explore new markets in the international arena. Due to the competitive free market of NAFTA, Amazon decided to diversify its products and gain a competitive advantage in the common market.

Economic Implications

Operating in different markets and industries has considerable economic implications for multinational companies such as Amazon. Consumers in different markets and industries have unique needs and preferences, making Amazon experience difficulties in satisfying them. The economic implication is that Amazon requires extra capital to purchase various products for e-commerce and provide customized services to their customers of cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Amazon also incurs extra costs while establishing and operating stores in various countries and cities for the effective distribution of products in its supply chain.

Owing to differences in tax tariffs across the world, Amazon has to incur some costs in standardizing prices of products to attract a substantial number of customers. Typically, taxes increase retail prices of products and discourage customers from purchasing them; hence, reducing sales and profits (Da et al., 2018). Additionally, increased competition in diverse markets and various industry structures requires Amazon to undertake extensive advertising, which is very costly and unsustainable in some products that attract low sales volumes.

Ethics and Regulations

In the global markets, ethics and regulations play a central role in influencing the way Amazon undertakes its operations. In operating in global markets, Amazon experiences ethical issues regarding the privacy of clients, intellectual property rights, fair treatment of employees, and cultural practices (Murninghan, 2018). Since clients provide personal details, Amazon has to ensure that they use them for intended purposes without exposing them to third parties who might use them in criminal and fraudulent activities.

Adherence to the ethical requirement of protecting intellectual property is a noble duty of Amazon to promote ethical business activities centered on healthy competition in global markets. In fighting corruption and promoting good governance, Amazon should not victimize or discriminate against workers who report fraudulent activities in various jurisdictions (Murninghan, 2018). Moreover, employees ought to get their stipulated dues in time without unwarranted delays or mistreatments. Differences in cultural practices across the world demand Amazon to customize its products and services to meet the diverse cultural needs of customers.

In the aspect of regulations, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires Amazon to comply with regulations and policies of green merchandise that advocate for the use of renewable forms of energy and eco-friendly products (Dillon et al., 2018). EPA prohibits companies from distributing illegal products that are not only harmful to humans but also to the environment.

In its e-commerce platform, Amazon violated EPA’s regulations by distributing and selling harmful pesticides and incurred a penalty of $1.2 million (Dillon et al., 2018). Furthermore, as an incorporated company, Amazon has the mandate to ensure that it observes regulations that promote good governance. Owing to financial improprieties in companies, the Dodd-Frank Act protects investors from excessive losses of their investments.

Besides, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act demands that organizations need to be transparent and accurate in financial reporting of their performance to prevent corporate fraud. In this view, Amazon ought to adhere to the stipulations of these acts and protect its shareholders from corrupt practices. In the labor sector, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) also requires Amazon to provide favorable working conditions, pay workers standard wages, and protect employees’ rights.

Effect of Macroeconomic Factors on Decisions and Strategy Development

The national income.

The analysis of Amazon shows that macroeconomic factors have created an immense value to the economic decisions and the development of strategies. National income and international trade are two macroeconomic principles that have created value and affected strategy development in Amazon. The national income of the target market, as reflected by the gross domestic product and the unemployment rates, is a critical factor that influences the decisions and strategies of Amazon. An increase in the gross domestic product and a decrease in the unemployment rate increase disposable income among potential consumers of Amazon.

Endogenous growth theory holds that human capital and technological advancements are drivers of the gross domestic product because they comprise internal activities that determine national income. In this view, policies that create employment, increase wages, encourage investments to boost the growth of economies, and augment disposable income.

The International Trade

Globalization has a marked influence on international trade because it creates business networks and transforms the lifestyles and purchasing habits of people across the world. From this perspective, the globalization theory supports the abolition of trade barriers to allow the free movement of people and commodities for economic growth and development (Barrow & Keck, 2017). Globalization and the quest for free trade have opened up new markets and made it easy for Amazon to undertake international trade. Therefore, policies that promote free trade encourage Amazon to venture into new markets and expand its global markets.

Overall, the SWOT analysis, Porter’s Five Forces, and PESTEL analysis are tools that allow Amazon to evaluate its capabilities and suitability of target markets, and eventually, aid in making valuable economic decisions and creating development strategies.

Recommended Strategies

• Since sales and profits are dependent on the purchasing power of consumers, Amazon needs to target and invest heavily in countries, particularly developing countries, which have promising economic growth as reflected by decreasing unemployment rates and increasing gross domestic product.
• Given that trade barriers restrict the expansion and profitability of international markets, Amazon should target those countries with limited restrictions because they support globalization, which is a noteworthy driver of consumer growth and sustainable profits.

The analysis of Amazon provides essential information about its long-term outlook in the local and global markets. Favorable local and global economic environments would make Amazon register remarkable performance in the decade. Free trade, technology, and globalization are some of the factors that promote economic growth, while trade barriers and regulations limit the operations of Amazon. Based on the economic growth theory and the globalization theory, national income and international trade are two macroeconomic principles that would affect the economic decisions and development strategies of Amazon, respectively. Hence, the analysis recommends Amazon target countries with promising national income and limited trade restrictions to increase its profits sustainably.

A Visit to the Market

I love going to market, so yesterday when my mother told me to get her some eggs and other groceries, I obeyed gladly. Picking up a bag and some money, I cycled down to the nearest market. It was modest in size but catered to the daily needs of the people living close by.

As usual, there was a lot of activity going on in the shops, and the hawkers seemed to be doing good business too. I bought some chilli powder and a tin of cooking oil from the grocery store, then went to the chemist’s shop to buy my father’s medicine.

Thinking that I would leave the purchase of eggs for the end, I walked into the sweet-seller’s shop where a wonderful, rich aroma assailed my nostrils. I could not resist buying some hot jalebis which I devoured greedily. Then, wiping my sticky hands on my skirt, I went to the dairy shop and bought a packet of milk and a dozen eggs. Putting them carefully in my bag I came out to find that a man had settled down on the ground with his wares displayed on a sheet. He begged me earnestly to buy something from his colourful assortment of handkerchiefs, ribbons, soap-dishes and packets of safety-pins. I admired his goods but said I would come another day.

Picking up my bicycle from the end of the road, where I had parked it along with a whole lot of others, I hung my shopping bag over the handle and cycled home. I returned the left-over change to my mother, who jokingly remarked that since I had eaten jalebis my stomach must be full, so she needn’t cook any dinner for me.

Thesis statement 

Big supermarket chains continue to lock up most of the food purchases made by people every day, but alternatives exist and provide surprising benefits. 

Topic sentences 

Supermarkets and local markets sell fresh produce, fresh meats, and fresh flowers. 

Supermarkets promote certain brands in all product categories while local markets feature local products. 

Delegate your assignment to our experts and they will do the rest.

Shopping in a local market can be more relaxed and friendly than spending time in a massive supermarket. 

In this essay, the thesis statement plays a significant role in providing a clear and specific argument as it gives the reader a clear guide on the options they have for their shopping ( Hamlitsch, 2015). The thesis statement makes it easy for the reader to understand the benefits of having big supermarkets chains and understand that there are alternatives that are the local markets. They tend to offer more benefits to the consumer. This essay’s thesis statement serves its purpose. It guides the reader on what to expect in the essay and identifies the different big supermarkets and the local markets. 

In this essay, the topic sentences play an important role in highlighting the main idea of the different paragraphs. They let the reader be aware of what will be in the paragraphs. These topic sentences represent the content in the paragraphs, and they tend to carry the main idea of the paragraph, ensuring to relate it to the thesis statement as they keep the reader focused throughout the essay. 

The topic sentences are well aligning with the thesis statement as they are supporting. As the thesis statement indicates, there is a better alternative to the big supermarkets, which tend to provide great benefits to the consumers; the topic sentences support the thesis by confirming the benefits of the local markets. 

From looking at this essay’s thesis statement and topic sentences, I have learned that it is important to develop topic sentences that relate to and support the thesis statement as it will help the reader identify the claim one is trying to prove in the essay. I have learned that the topic sentences unite the paragraphs to the thesis statement creating a clear flow of events in the essay.

Home Sellers Are Becoming ‘More Realistic’ During the Best Time of the Year To List

After years of heated bidding wars and homes selling for six figures over the list price, home sellers are entering the spring housing market with “more realistic” expectations.

As the nation enters the best week to list a home , April 14–20, fewer homeowners anticipate bidding wars and wild offers over the asking price, according to a recent survey from Realtor.com® and CensusWide. Homeowners are also expecting their homes will take longer to sell and fewer buyers will waive contingencies.

“Home sellers have adjusted their expectations. They’re becoming a little more realistic given the current market conditions,” says Hannah Jones , senior economic research analyst at Realtor.com. “Home prices and mortgage rates remain elevated, so buyers are going to be a little bit more picky and are going to be looking for more flexibility from sellers.”

While that’s welcome news for many homebuyers, it’s not necessarily a bad thing for sellers.

“The housing market is showing signs of rebalancing,” says Jones. She points out that more homes are going up for sale compared with last year. “The market is moving in the right direction.”

Just 12% of sellers expect their home will receive multiple offers, down from 27% last year. And 15% of homeowners are banking on being offered more than their asking price. That’s less than half of the 31% that expected to receive more than what their home was listed for in 2023.

An additional 15% are prepared to receive an offer within a week of their home going up for sale, down from 37% last year. And another 15% are expecting buyers to waive contingencies, such as home inspections and appraisals, dropping from 35% in the previous year.

“Seller expectations are moving away from the [COVID-19] pandemic frenzy toward more normal, pre-pandemic expectations,” says Jones. “It’s a return to some balance. Although sellers are still in a really good position, this suggests that sellers are open to a little more give and take with buyers.”

The report is based on a survey of about 1,000 homeowners who plan to sell their home in the next year and 1,000 folks who sold their home in the Past year.

What do home sellers in 2024 want?

Homeowners planning to sell their properties this year have been thinking about doing so for an average of two years. When they finally do so, they’re hoping to cash in.

Sellers are expecting their abodes to sell for an average of $462,000 this year. That might be a bit aspirational as the national median list price was $424,900 in March, according to the most recent Realtor.com data.

“The percentage of sellers reducing prices is relatively high,” says Jones. “So sellers may be optimistic coming into the market and then adjusting closer to buyer expectations.”

Almost 8 in 10 recent sellers believe they would have entered a hotter housing market if they had listed their properties earlier. Many waited to get out those “For Sale” signs because of the high mortgage rates.

About 73% of the respondents in the survey are sellers as well as buyers. About 79% of prospective sellers have been reluctant to give up a low rate only to have to take out a mortgage at a higher rate. So they succumbed to the “ lock-in effect .”

About half of these homeowners don’t want to sell until rates fall, while 29% are going ahead regardless.

“Plenty of homeowners have been eagerly waiting for mortgage rates to come down so that they can sell their current home and more affordably upgrade to a new one,” Realtor.com Chief Economist Danielle Hale said in a statement.

“With mortgage rates expected to ease slowly throughout the year, some potential sellers are planning to get off the sidelines in 2024 and make a move, with the majority expecting to buy a new home at the same time that they sell their current one.”

Hale anticipated rates will fall to about 6.5% by the end of this year.

Why are homeowners selling their properties?

Homeowners who are planning to list their homes need to move for family (24%), for more space (23%), to downsize (23%), and for life changes (18%) such as a new marriage, child, or divorce, according to the report.

They’re also weighing financial considerations. About 24% are selling to make a profit, and 21% want to capitalize on price increases.

“Life goes on,” says Jones. “We still see that more normal churn in the housing market driven by big life events. Those things continue even in a challenging housing market.”
