To all the talented makers on Handmade, I know you may sometimes ask yourself “why sell on Amazon when I have other platforms to sell on?”. Well, I’m here to tell you that are in the right place and we appreciate you being a Handmade seller on Amazon.
Amazon offers you a large customer base, and is one of the largest online marketplaces in the world, providing access to millions of potential customers. Handmade is specifically tailored for artisans, making it easier to connect with customers who are looking for unique, handcrafted items.
Being part of Amazon’s marketplace can enhance your brand visibility and credibility as customers often trust Amazon to provide quality products. Amazon provides various marketing tools, such as promotions and advertising to help sellers gain visibility as well as drive sells.
When it comes to packaging your delicate crafts, you have two options,. You can either handle shipping yourself or use Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) which allows you to store your products in Amazon’s warehouses and leave the shipping and customer service up to us.
In terms of analytics and insights, Amazon provides valuable data in helping sellers understand their sales and customer performance to make informed business decisions. Amazon also provides community support to help you understand and grow your business. There are resources and support available for artisans to help navigate the selling process, such as the The Forums, Seller Support,Account Representatives and Seller Central.
