One of CanGo’s leading competitors, Amazon, was established in 1997, and its primary scope of business was to sell books on the Internet. While many top companies spend millions to market their brands, Amazon puts that money into advancing technology on its website and creating affordable shipping options for its customers (Ante, 2009).

Amazon has expanded six international sites including Canada, China, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and France and encompasses their branding strategy by stating "We're not in the book business or the music business.

Advantages of ecommerce Having a business open 24/7 I have been asked the discus in detail the impacts and negative impacts of an e-commerce business; I am going to first discus the impacts of an e-commerce business running 24/7.

Google wants to establish itself as a media giant yet most of products that are branded with the Google name are software driven.
