For anyone looking to start or grow a retail or e-commerce business, the Amazon marketplace is worth considering.

After completing Part One, register for Part Two of this ‘Selling on Amazon’ masterclass. You’ll learn how to:

Optimise your product catalogue

Handle your customer order

Use the Fufilment by Amazon (FBA) service

Expand into Amazon’s international stores

This workshop will be led by Karen Riddick, the founder of Second Nature Online, an eco-friendly soft furnishing business. She started it as a hobby business in 2008. She has since expanded her ecommerce stores across Europe and has plans to expand into other parts of the world.

The growth of Second Nature Online has largely resulted from Karen’s use of global marketplaces, particularly Amazon, to reach international customers.

Global e-marketplaces provide an ideal route to international growth. But to get the most out of them, sellers need to fully consider matters like tax, language translation and shipping logistics. This masterclass will help you cover all bases.

Amazon is the world’s largest business-to-consumer (B2C) commerce platform. It offers a great shop window for Scottish businesses to expand their online retail function. Karen has the skills and experience to help you make the most of these, as well as other, e-marketplace opportunities.
