Amazon — A Global E-Commerce Platform
Amazon is an outperforming e-commerce platform. It has a global reach.
According to the latest reports and data, Amazon Marketplace is operating and selling in 18 countries. This list consists of advanced economies of Europe, Japan, and North America. And emerging markets like Brazil, China, India, Arab Gulf states, and Turkey are also on this list.
There are millions of sellers from over 100 countries on Amazon Marketplace. India is a neighboring country of Pakistan. It has over 7000 Amazon-listed sellers. These sellers have exported goods worth over $3 billion since 2015. These figures reflect that Pakistani sellers will have to do a lot of hard work to grow and compete on Amazon. But there is no doubt that the platform offers great potential for the manufacturers and merchants of Pakistan to expand their sales.
What Are Prerequisites For Exporters Of Pakistan To Succeed On Amazon?
If the exporters of Pakistan want to succeed on Amazon Marketplace, they need to select and learn a lot about their target countries/markets and customer choices. They will have to produce, create or pick products of high demand in their target markets.
Initially, Pakistani exporters will have to establish an inventory of fast-selling products at Amazon warehouses in the United States. They will have to use F.B.A. (Fulfillment by Amazon) service. In this way, they will be able to provide quick delivery to Amazon Prime customers.
Customer satisfaction and positive online reviews have great importance on Amazon. Pakistan exporters will also have to guarantee the quality if they want to reap the fruits from Amazon Marketplace.
The people of Pakistan must be glad on this occasion of having the legal opportunity of becoming sellers on a global e-commerce platform. But at the same time, they must remember that a lot more investment, attention, and hard work is required to accomplish its full potential.
Amazon And Virtual Assistants Of Pakistan
Another source for foreign remittance is the services of freelancers and virtual assistants of Pakistan, who have gained expertise in running and maintaining Amazon Stores. As we know, many Pakistani merchants are selling products on Amazon Marketplace. They are registered mainly from the USA or UK by using their references in these countries. These virtual assistants have been supporting not only Pakistani merchants but also the merchants of other countries. These freelancers provide services for web development, store building, fulfillment, administrative tasks, and customer call centers.
Now when Amazon has entered Pakistan, there are high chances that the industry of virtual assistants will also flourish, and new job opportunities will transpire in Pakistan.
