Businesses first started selling on Amazon nearly two decades ago, Denissen said.
Each week a different store will be featured along with a business owner. Amazon is also launching its first ever national television commercial to advertise the businesses that sell on the online retailer’s site.
Small and medium businesses selling on Amazon are estimated to have created more than 900,000 jobs worldwide, according to Amazon’s Small Business Impact report.
