Amazon Global Selling announced the set-up of a new remote team to provide dedicated support to Philippine sellers to tap into the opportunities of cross-border e-commerce, reaffirming its commitment to empower small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Philippines.
The team based in Singapore is focused on introducing Amazon’s innovative tools and resources to Philippines based sellers, guiding them through the journey of expanding globally and reaching customers all over the world.
“Since Global Selling began to support Philippine sellers three years ago, we have seen more and more local sellers started from zero and gradually build their business on Amazon’s store worldwide. We are inspired by Philippine sellers and have confidence in their potential. Meanwhile, we also heard from sellers that they have some pain points in developing globally, such as, lack of related knowledge and skills. That’s why we are extending our efforts to set up this dedicated team,” said Head of Amazon Global Selling in Southeast Asia Anand Palit, .
Amazon is continuously investing in logistics, tools, services, programs, and people to foster the growth of sellers. Amazon has built physical presence in 22 countries and can ship products to customers in over 200 countries and territories.
Amazon had more than 400 fulfilment centers across the globe. Through Amazon stores, sellers, including those from the Philippines, can directly reach over 300 million active customer accounts, including more than 200 million prime customers overseas.
