Global online retail phenomenon Amazon has published a new whitepaper outlining ways in which its services can help UK ecommerce businesses expand overseas. In this advertisement feature we look at how it works.
Amazon offers a suite of services that allow businesses to access its customer base in Europe and beyond, utilising Amazon’s infrastructure to keep seller’s fixed costs to a minimum.
The company’s EU Marketplace platform – called Sell On Amazon – lets private retailers sell across a host of the businesses national hub websites; it then handles the transaction process and steps to deter fraudsters.
Sellers are then able to fulfil the order themselves or use ‘Fulfilment by Amazon’, under which Amazon takes care of order picking, packing, delivery, customer service and it handles returns too; all within its tried and trusted fulfilment infrastructure.
Selling on Amazon is comparatively easy and prices are affordable for start-up businesses, with a basic Amazon European Marketplaces subscription fee weighing in at just £25 plus VAT per month.
The selling process itself is complete in just five simple steps:
1. Upload Your Product Inventory
2. Customers See Your Products on Amazon
3. Customers Purchase Your Products
4. You Deliver Products to Customers
5. You Receive Payment
Yet there are a number of benefits:
- Your products are more visible
- Convenient trusted shopping experience
- Security and fraud protection
- Millions of potential shoppers
- No listing fees
- One seller account manages business across all of Amazon’s European sites
