SMB’s are vital to Amazon’s growth and survival as they make up over 50% of all items sold in Amazon’s stores worldwide.

“Launching on Amazon is by far the best decision I’ve made for my business, We’ve reached more customers than we ever could have on our own and have continued to grow more than 90 percent year-over-year. Thanks to our growth with Amazon, we now have 15 local employees in Ankeny and just moved into a 7,000 square foot office and warehouse, and are in the process of expanding further.”
