Best time to launch global businesses through Amazon
Amazon works to provide selling partners the tools and resources they need to launch and grow their business. If a small business or new brand wants to find customers quickly, selling on Amazon makes it easy for them to connect with hundreds of millions of customers around the world. That’s why Amazon launched New Seller Incentives – a suite of benefits worth more than RM218,000 in potential value.
New sellers who are identified as brand owners with Amazon Brand Registry can enjoy benefits including a 5% bonus on up to RM4.36 million in eligible branded sales (up to RM218,000 in bonus value), as well as other benefits with Amazon Vine and Transparency.
