Yes , Amazon is still trying to make theDash Buttonhappen . The companyplans to impart dozensof unexampled energy - to - buy Dash pick this week , ignoring the fact that they never really caught on .
Market - enquiry company Slice Intelligence toldThe Wall Street Journalthat few than half of people who bought a Dash button since its launching a year ago have actually used it . The the great unwashed who do use the release press it about once every two month . The last part is n’t terrible give that people do n’t usually need toilet paper or detergent more than once every couple of month . But it ’s also not exactly a cash cow .
Executives of participating Dash brands have said that they ’ve sign up for the course of study not because they conceive it ’ll get them new customer , but because they need an in with Amazon — sort of like thrust some money at your supporter ’s Kickstarter campaign mostly to show that you ’re loyal .

( To be fair , though , there is one coolheaded Dash button : the Internet of Things release . )
The troupe has n’t made clear which new sword it will be rolling out this week , with the exception of Cot’n Wash Inc. ’s Dropps washables detergent , which I suppose will now be conveniently at your fingertips . The Journal draw Cot’n Wash ’s chief executive like this :
Chief Executive Jonathan Propper say he is unconcerned by derision of Dash or its practical restriction , tangible or perceived .
Brave man , that one .
