Small businesses,

On a mission to make stylish glasses that fit all face types, Vontélle Eyewear’s founders used Amazon’s Try Before You Buy program to bring their inclusive frames to a wider audience.
One of the most important programs that we leverage on Amazon is Fulfillment by Amazon. Amazon handles all of our shipping and handling to the customers for us. So that has allowed us to launch our games globally. We have our products in the UK, in Canada, in Australia.
— Alfred Mai, Founder & CEO of ASM Games
We actually sell on Amazon not just in the US but we’ve expanded with Amazon throughout the world. That’s been successful for us in terms of growing the business and getting our brand exposed to more people from different countries and different cultures.
— Alexander Fedorowicz, Founder & CEO of QRxLabs
