 “Small businesses are thriving on Amazon and we’re thrilled to bring these entrepreneurs together to help them take their business to the next level,” said Alex Ootes, Vice President Pan-EU Category Management and EU Expansion “As of June, SMEs on Amazon started to expand their businesses to Europe. In October, the thousands of businesses registered to sell on Amazon’s Turkish store became able to access Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA). Businesses benefit from Amazon’s logistics capabilities, helping them quickly and efficiently reach customers across Turkey. As of today, in additon to Selling in Europe, we have launched the `Sell Globally` tool for Turkish Selling Partners to expand their offers to America (US, Canada, MX), Asia-Pacific (Japan, India, Australia, Singapore) and Middle East and North Africa (United Arab Emirates). It is the one stop page for our Turkish selling partners with accounts in various regions to manage their businesses. The newly launched services are another step towards fulfilling that commitment. We hope to empower and encourage sellers in Turkey to sell online and enable our customers to find, discover and buy anything on Amazon”
