One thought on “How Did Amazon Become a Leader in Smart Speakers?”

  1. Amazon knows how to play the long game, and the entry level Echo Dot in particular was heavily promoted during the holidays with many undoubtedly loss-leading bundles, promotions, and special “hidden” deal combos.

    Amazon was basically throwing these things at consumers to increase install base which in turn increases spend.

    Some Echo Dot examples:
    – $2 Amazon Echo Dot + 3-Month Amazon Music Unlimited Subscription
    – $29 Amazon Echo Dot + Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug Bundle
    – $139 Ring Video Doorbell 2 + Echo Dot

    Even at this moment there’s a great deal running for a 5-piece Ring Doorbell system and a 3rd Gen Echo Dot for $159 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L91DC51/ (NON-affiliate link)
