A New Antidote to the Amazon Empire

A new antidote to the Amazon empire: Poppy is a mobile app that enables customers to explore the fashion and lifestyle brands of thousands of independent designers. Users can browse through different aesthetic tastes to discover new styles that are affordable. There is no need to spend days trying to find the perfect piece of clothing, as Poppy has hundreds of thousands of products. However, you will have to be patient and wait a few weeks before you see it on Amazon.

Poppy is a new e-commerce app that is both mobile-friendly and Gen-Z-friendly. Unlike Amazon, Poppy's mobile interface will help users explore thousands of products. Its unique platform will enable users to connect with each other and share a common purpose. It wants to recreate the feeling of browsing an offline bazaar, where people can bargain for art and other goods.

The company has been around for over a decade and has grown from an online bookseller to an CIA contractor. It has also become the biggest cloud computing provider, as well as the biggest music streaming service in the world. Its CEO, Jeff Bezos, has spoken about how Amazon has impacted society, mentioning the contribution the company has made to our lives. In the interview, Bezos cited how important it is to support startups that are creating jobs and bringing down monopolies.

Poppy is very different from Amazon in many ways. It is way more mobile friendly (aka Gen Z friendly) than Amazon and its algorithm resembles a Tiktok like personal shopping experience. While Amazon takes pride in shopping efficiency and speedy check-out, Poppy wants you to stay as long as possible on this platform to pick a summer dress, to compare a candle, to bargain for a painting or maybe at last to buy a pair of black pearl earrings. Bezos mentioned Amazon's contribution to society was the amount of time saved from offline shopping chores. Poppy's ambition is to replicate offline bazaar feeling of endless browsing and inspirational shopping of things you have never seen. It is just very different from Amazon.

Amazon is a behemoth pushing products to their lowest price but Poppy highlights brand personality. Different from vintage-driven Ebay and craft-only Etsy, you can find thousands of brands at your fingertip on Poppy. You can easily follow these brands and receive the latest updates. You can check their new arrivals, latest sales, social media footprint and influencer reviews (sometimes it can be a warning sign against buying). It highlights brands' unique personality as it features Allbirds, Cupshe, Alo Yoga among many others. 

Poppy's mobile app is an example of how a new antidote to Amazon empire is being developed. It is a mobile app with a Tiktok-like algorithm that allows users to browse thousands of products. It is a way to build a team that is focused on a common purpose. A cohesive team works towards common goals, and it's crucial to encourage good communication within the team.
