Sellers in Your Community
Through Sellers in Your Community (SIYC), Amazon connects small and medium-sized businesses with meaningful opportunities to share their entrepreneurial journeys and expertise within their local communities. By facilitating speaking engagements, networking events, and visibility with local organizations and elected officials, Amazon helps position participating business owners as the community leaders they truly are.
“As a small business we don’t always have the resources to be able to advocate for ourselves. So, being able to partner with Amazon’s [SIYC] advocacy team has been huge to be able to get our story out, so that people understand our challenges…Amazon has really been a catalyst that’s been able to help us grow our business. And as we grow with Amazon and our business grows, we really see our communities thrive.”
— Will Owens, Marketing Manager, Liberty Tabletop

Amazon resources to fuel the growth of independent sellers
Product Opportunity Explorer helps independent sellers identify unmet demand and new growth opportunities. With this tool, sellers can analyze trends in customer searches, purchases, reviews, pricing, and more. With new AI capabilities, the tool analyzes billions of customer interactions—searches, clicks, and purchases—while considering their existing portfolio to deliver clear recommendations on similar but unique products. Sellers can see which features matter most, where demand is trending, and what customers expect to pay right away—insights that once required weeks of research. With one of its capabilities, Unmet Demand Insights, sellers can see where customer needs aren’t being met. For example, identifying that customers searching for cooling beach chairs want specific features like ventilated fabric, sun canopies, and solar-powered fans.
Supply Chain by Amazon is a set of supply chain services that provides independent sellers with a complete, automated solution for moving products from manufacturing locations to customer doorsteps around the world. Amazon picks up inventory from manufacturing facilities, guides it through freight services and customs, handles long-term warehousing and storage, manages multi-channel distribution, and then automates replenishment to fulfillment centers—where it can service customer orders in Amazon’s store or wherever a seller sells their products. With this capability, sellers can meet customer demand faster while reducing stockouts and excess inventory.
With Amazon’s listing creation tool, independent sellers can create high-quality product listings by describing their products in just a few words, uploading an image, or providing a URL from their existing website. The tool generates titles, bullet points, and descriptions using customer insights and shopping data that resonate with customers.
Seller University is a free educational resource designed to empower independent sellers to create successful businesses. Sellers can learn how to list, price, fulfill, and advertise with Amazon, or explore advanced topics to take their selling to the next level. With videos and downloadable guides that span across 35 topic areas in 21 languages, sellers can stay up to date on tools, processes, and opportunities.
