This Prime Day, supporting small businesses is more important than ever before. While it has been a tough year for small businesses, selling in Amazon’s store has enabled hundreds of thousands of smaller companies to sustain and even grow their sales. To further our commitment to helping small businesses during COVID-19 and beyond, this Prime Day, and throughout the holiday season, we will spend more than $100 million on new promotional activities to help small businesses around the world increase their sales and reach new customers.
Small business sellers are busy preparing for Prime Day on October 13 & 14, and we couldn’t wait to introduce you to just a few of the hard-working entrepreneurs serving customers in categories ranging from dog treats to jewelry, and beyond! Keep scrolling to meet some of the small business owners behind the brands and learn how their stories came to be.
Throughout Prime Day, customers will also have the opportunity to hear directly from many of these businesses during Amazon Live’s Small Business Showcase. Customers can tune-in at amazon.com/primeday to connect with the business owners, learn more about their products, and shop their Prime Day deals.
Don’t forget, Prime members get a $10 credit to use on Prime Day when they spend $10 on select small businesses in our store through October 12. Check out amazon.com/supportsmall to find small businesses to support leading up to, and during, Prime Day.
