Peak Design is considered to be one of the most prominent and high-selling gear makers for Cameras. Over the years, Peak Design has gained a lot of recognition and fan-base for the products it has launched.
The company has managed to gain so much popularity that it has even gained the attention of many giant e-commerce marketplaces. One such is Amazon that seems to have taken a lot of interest in the products launched by Peak Design.
However, Peak Design doesn’t seem to be happy with Amazon and has recently confirmed the reason for its concern. At the beginning of the week, news of Peak Design being unhappy with Amazon had started emerging. Following the news, Peak Design has now publicly accused Amazon that it has stolen the ideas for its product.
The company has accused that one of its best-selling products has been copied by Amazon. The company has revealed that one of its best-selling products is the “Everyday Sling”. The company has been selling the “Everyday Sling” product since 2017.
The Everyday Sling product has been the highest-selling product that has been manufactured by Peak Design. However, the company has revealed that Amazon has copied its product by copying the very design and the make of the product.
On top of that, the price of the product set by Amazon is one-third of what is being charged by Peak Design for its “Everyday Sling” product.
The CEO of Peak Design (Peter Dering), which is headquartered in San Francisco has shared his concerns over the recent matter. Dering stated that Amazon has targeted one of Peak Design’s top-selling products. As per Dering, Amazon went ahead and copied the idea of Peak Design’s top-selling product when it became the top-selling product on the platform.
Dering sarcastically stated how Amazon has a mechanism that alerts it that there is a particular product in town selling in masses. When Amazon sees that, they ensure that they make full use of the demand of the product and come up with a product much cheaper than that.
He stated that although it is something praiseworthy that Peak Design managed to gain the eye of Amazon but on the other hand, the company has been at a disadvantage now that Amazon has started targeting it.
He stated that Peak Designs was not going to remain quiet and let Amazon make all the profits out of their hard work. Therefore, the company decided to go public and share its concern on the public platform.
In order to send its message across, Peak Design has recently launched an advertisement that features the CEO of the company, making fun of the product launched by Amazon.
