With our growing resources and<br \/>\nsupport for local sellers here, we want to empower them to seize the huge<br \/>\nopportunities in selling online and across shores &#8212; helping them start local,<br \/>\ngo global. As of today, we offer over 135 tools and services to help sellers<br \/>\nworldwide manage their businesses. The Amazon Southeast Asia Online Seller<br \/>\nSummit 2021 is another milestone for us to bring more sellers online, support<br \/>\ntheir growth journey, and connect them with customers everywhere.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In addition to industry and consumer insights, participating<br \/>\nSMBs can access professional training courses, 1:1 consultations, and programs<br \/>\nto sell with Amazon. Local sellers on Amazon will also share their best<br \/>\npractices and advice for SMBs. For instance, hear from Debbie Cai, founder of<br \/>\nRui Smiths, on how the hunger to build something of her own led her to quit her<br \/>\njob as a news editor in New York City and become an entrepreneur. Since 2014,<br \/>\nDebbie has been able to sell internationally with Amazon, despite a limited<br \/>\nretail background, and grow Rui Smiths across twelve countries &#8212; US, Canada,<br \/>\nMexico, UK, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Australia, Netherlands, Singapore<br \/>\nand most recently, Sweden.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My fellow seller ambassadors and the other sellers I<br \/>\nhave met through Amazon have been invaluable as a support network for me and my<br \/>\nbusiness. Some of the tips and insights we exchanged have affirmed my knowledge<br \/>\nthat we are all on the right track. I am looking forward to launching new<br \/>\nproducts this year while widening my distribution circle internationally, by<br \/>\nleveraging Amazon&#8217;s reach and tools. At the Amazon Southeast Asia Online Seller<br \/>\nSummit 2021, I hope to share some of these learnings and experiences that have<br \/>\nbeen fundamental to the success of my business,&#8221; said\u00a0<b>Debbie Cai,<br \/>\nfounder, Rui Smiths<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For a more hands-on guide to selling on Amazon, participants<br \/>\ncan join the workshop sessions hosted by Amazon on Day 2, January 29, 2021,<br \/>\nbetween 10am and 5pm SGT.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For more information and event registration, please<br \/>\nvisit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/SGOSS-signup\">http:\/\/amzn.to\/SGOSS-signup<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0Euromonitor<br \/>\nInternational.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/go.euromonitor.com\/white-paper-dc-200922-digital-consumer-journey.html\">https:\/\/go.euromonitor.com\/white-paper-dc-200922-digital-consumer-journey.html<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/release.php\/View\/61579#Contact\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The two-day complimentary virtual event focuses on empowering small and medium-sized businesses to develop strategies and skills to reach more customers locally and globally SINGAPORE &#8211;\u00a0Media OutReach\u00a0&#8211; 18 January 2021 &#8211;\u00a0(NASDAQ:AMZN) &#8211; With online purchases on the rise and more consumers becoming digital-first in their shopping journey[1],\u00a0Amazon\u00a0is hosting its inaugural \u00a0Southeast Asia Seller Summit to &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11314,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[60],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11313"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11313"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11313\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11314"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11313"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11313"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11313"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
