Amazon.com to acquire Zappos.com: SeriousRunning.com even more Flexible to address Customers Needs!
Tweet
According to SportsOneSource.com, Amazon.com has reached an agreement to acquire Zappos.com. The big just keep on getting bigger. If they were real runners they would be getting smaller. You know, because running burns calories and all. However, the problem is that corporations are really not people. It’s just a group of individuals who run an entity that is owned by many different people, whom most do not work for the company. The people that work for these companies have marginal ownership from stock holdings, with not enough to give them incentive to work harder; unlike SeriousRunning.com which is a brother and brother business, with 100% incentive. Do the math. SeriousRunning.com is pretty much the ultimate business structure. I’d let you see our business plan but it’s trademarked and copyrighted with a patent is pending, it’s that impressive. Being such a small organization we are the decision makers, we are the ones that listen to what you want and are able to implement those things within minutes. Even if Jeff Barber isn’t available because he is probably in the bathroom, out mountain biking, or painting his miniatures, I will go ahead and make any change needed. You know what that’s called? Customer service. Email Amazon.com or Zappos.com and see how long it takes for you to get a personalized response. Email me chris@seriousrunning.com and I promise I will answer within 24 hours, and if during “business hours” I’ll probably answer within 20 minutes. Take that behemoth running shoe selling companies! We are able to travel just as fast on this Information Superhighway! Someone just leveled the playing field.
But the playing field isn’t level, Seriousrunning.com is far superior. Why? Because we answer our own questions, that’s why. Also because the running shoe reviews on SeriousRunning.com are by serious runners, people who know how running shoes are suppose to perform. Other websites like Amazon.com and Zappos.com have reviews, but you don’t know where they came from. They could have come from a person who used the shoes for walking, skipping, or swatting flies. Please be kind to your running shoes, they have feelings too. The running shoe reviews on SeriousRunning.com are by runners for runners. It’s a running community and as you can see, we love our running shoes.
Granted, our running shoe listings will take you to one of our affiliates’ websites, Amazon.com or REI.com, but that is because Amazon.com is the low price leader and REI.com is the outdoor product leader so we provide both to give you the best running shoes possible at the best price. So why not go directly to those websites without passing through SeriousRunning.com’s running shoe reviews? Because that’s two websites to search on instead of just one of course, but also mostly because we are the customer service leader for running shoes. We provide the information you need and want. Go ahead, give those 5 star rated shoes a try. Fall in love with them, then come back to write your review. When you are done with your review buy 10 more pairs to last you through the rest of the year. Running shoe companies often come out with new versions annually so you may not have a chance to get another pair soon. Be prepared, that’s what I like to say.
So while the big keep getting bigger, the real runners stay small and agile. Ready for the gun to blast, the race to start, and are ready to give the best performance which you derserve. We’re all about performance.
Note: None of the members of the SeriousRunning.com’s staff take any type of performance enhancing drugs to help them provide all this great information on this awesome website. I know what you were thinking, ‘They’ve got to be taking something…’ Incorrect.
