## Transcript

Amazon's efforts are expanding yet again. Three cities will soon see a new type of offering to add to their virtual shopping carts before checkout, a local home improvement contractor to install purchased items. In its ongoing battle against brick and mortar sales, Am \ zon knows it's already entering a full market. Yelp, Angie's List, and Craigslist all currently offer local reviews of home improvement service providers at little to no cost to consumers. Amazon says its approach will try to be more novel, offering handpicked pros that have been evaluated by the e- commerce giant itself, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The Journal says customers will still be able to rate the service providers on Amazon's site, and Amazon will offer a money- back. Guarantee on the services rendered. The three cities in this introductory period are New York, Los Angeles, and Seattle. Amazon's founder and CEO Jeff Bezos is already an investor in pro. com, a site for connecting customers with contractors based in Seattle.
