“As a very small business, we don’t have a lot of budget to manage and market our handmade soy candles,” said Usa Leckenby of Pure Palette, an Amazon Handmade business participating in the Spotlight market in Washington, D.C. “Amazon provides me with a national market opportunity on a very lean budget, and with Fulfillment by Amazon I can operate like a bigger company.”

Amazon has released more than 150 tools and services in 2019 to help its independent small and medium-sized businesses grow their sales online, which is part of the more than $15 billion the company is on track to invest this year in the success of selling partners. The company also hosts a variety of events to educate small and medium-sized business selling partners, including Amazon Academy events across Europe and Selling Partner Summits across the U.S.
