Amazon have come to Australia and small traders have an opportunity to get in on the ground floor. What are the benefits and what are the likely pitfalls for this channel?

This event is an opportunity for interested local traders to share and discuss various information about Amazon. We’ll discuss

• The key benefits of Amazon and how it compares to creating and managing your own online store
• Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) and Fulfilment by Merchant (FBM)
• Drop-shipping
• Packaging requirements
• Listing requirements

Please note the facilitator is not an experienced Amazon seller. Fiona has studied the Amazon channel and will share with participants her knowledge of online marketing and how Amazon fits into the picture. Experienced and beginner Amazon sellers and those who aren’t sure are invited to come along and share and discuss their knowledge and ideas so that all participants walk away with a better understanding of what the Amazon opportunity is.

This event is suitable for:

• Hobbyists and craft people who create and make their own products and are looking to scale up sales
• Retailers who already have an online shop but want to explore other online sales channels
• Individuals who want to start-up a 2nd or part-time income and feel Amazon may be the opportunity for them
