The company compared that data to average sales for the first eight Fridays. Dynamics analysis shows that Amazon’s sales grew by 1%, while the average during the boycott period increased by 1%.
“I would say it’s not necessarily surprising that Amazon sales have the least impact on Amazon sales in a one-day boycott,” lead researcher Andrew Waber told CNET. Waber noted that Amazon’s sales are over $1 billion. “This size makes retailers naturally resilient, especially in terms of short-term disruption.”

Boycott is a way for consumers to get attention and find ways to align spending with political, economic and social goals. It may not hurt the bottom line of companies like Amazon, but economic boycotts are certainly causing discussions facilitated by social media. If nothing else, it asks consumers to consider where they want money to go.
