That was me and my wife. I'm pretty sure our baby stuff accounts for most of that growth.

Do you know Amazons order page lets you see how many orders you place each year?

It is quite telling: 2007, 2008, 2009 were <10 orders. Then 2010, after my son had been born: 41. 2011: 98. 2012: 138.

2016: 270...

It's all about establishing the habits.

Yes! It's all about the customer LTV.

They also have a page to generate CSV reports on your purchases. I noticed the wife and I spent well over $10k in last 12 months. Up 2× or 3× since last year!

did you use the amazon creditcard? the cashback should dwarf the normal cc rewards...

I didn't know Amazon had a credit card...

Where abouts is that page? Do you have a URL?

Here is a url

https://www.amazon.com/gp/b2b/reports

What a really great feature and cheers to amazon for having something like this available.

Too bad this doesn't seem to work for amazon.de, .co.uk, and probably others. I'd love to get a report like that.

Same! I've never used amazon as much as I have in the past 8 months when the firstborn arrived.

And congrats!

Gratz!

lol My wife and I just added our own registry there...

Protip. Put expensive stuff you want for yourself on the registry. It's unlikely that anyone will buy it (but hey if they do great!) but after the due date they send you a coupon for 20% off if you buy everything left on your registry.

We got a bunch of lego sets for the older kid that way, and the discount counted!

Now I want to set up a registry and pay my family to buy the cheaper items to try to get the coupon...

I'm sure you wouldn't be the first.

SubProTip, you can get a 15% registry completion discount every 8 months, just change the due date for your baby. And you don't have to buy everything in the registry, it applies to whatever subset.

And probably me too. Didn't shut down the DCOS cluster.

Congratulations!
