Amazon Hooks College Students With A Free Year Of Amazon Prime
This is a smart move from Amazon. I’ve been a Prime subscriber for a year, and it’s uncanny how addictive “free” two-day shipping can become — you can bet a good number of the students signing up for the program are going to have a hard time going back to the 3-5 day standard shipping in a year. And even if they don’t upgrade to Prime in a year, students will probably feel some affinity to Amazon over its competitors.
Note that even if you’re not a college student, Amazon offers a one month trial membership.
