Amazon has published several job openings for “home assistants”, who should help Amazon customers to keep their home tidy and clean. It therefore seems the company is planning a cleaning service.
Experiment
Everyone who replies to the job opening, must be willing to help people in their own house. Not only cleaning would be part of the task, but also storing away groceries for example. This way, these people should help save Amazon Prime subscribers time.
However, Amazon is not looking for an entire army of cleaning helps: it currently only seeks two people, which may mean it is merely an experiment or maybe even just a marketing stunt to promote Prime.
Important part of Amazon
Prime has become a very important part of Amazon, as research has shown that Amazon Prime subscribers spend twice as much as normal consumers. About half of the American families currently has an Amazon Prime subscription.
However, the American market may have become saturated, which means Amazon has to find ways to make the package more attractive and one such way is to give it even more benefits.
