Amazon offers an ideal route to market for businesses looking to export across the world, particularly for first-time exporters or occasional exporters. Companies of all sizes can trade via Amazon with no upfront costs, and if needed, Amazon can store, pack and deliver products to customers, as well as provide customer service and handle returns. The United States (US) is Amazon's largest market and now accounts for almost 50% of all e-commerce sales in the US.

During this interactive half-day workshop brought to you by Will Klein from Trust Digital Agency, in partnership with Skills Support for the Workforce and the Department for International Trade (DIT), we will look at how to grow your business using Amazon as an e-commerce platform, how to make the most of their services and look at the common issues and how to overcome them.

Logistic options available with Amazon, including Amazon consignee options, tracked shipping and the Prime promise
