At the opposite of mass market approach you can imagine the possibility to “print” or manufacture a product on demand.

As the pioneer of eCommerce, Amazon recently launched :

  • Made for You a new service/brand to design a t-shirt fitting your specific measurements and preferences.
    - Build-it to collect and manufacture a device connected to Alexa. The first product will a sticky note printer for your shopping list !

Impacts are really interesting vs the classical business model :
1. No Markdowns
2. Eliminate Waste
3. Quick Turnaround
4. Market Testing
5. Better Cash Flow
