“Across the country, there are hundreds of thousands of
creative, hard-working, and unique American small businesses that
are thriving with Amazon,” said Nicholas Denissen, VP of Small
Business at Amazon. “Small and medium-sized businesses selling in
Amazon’s stores had a record-breaking year in 2019, with nearly
25,000 American small and medium-sized businesses surpassing
$500,000 in sales. We will continue to invest billions of dollars
in tools, services, people, and programs – like Amazon Handmade –
to help these businesses grow and succeed.”
Amazon Handmade is a store within Amazon.com that empowers
Makers with the tools necessary to showcase their products to more
than 300 million active customers around the world, regardless of
their location. Makers selling with Amazon Handmade come from all
50 states and more than 80 countries around the world.
“At Amazon Handmade, we obsess over customers and their desire
for unique handcrafted goods, which is why we are so proud of our
incredible Makers and the products they sell in our store,” said
Katie Harnetiaux, Head of Amazon Handmade. “The flourishing craft
community selling with Amazon Handmade spans from coast-to-coast,
with Makers from every corner of the U.S. building successful

“Amazon Handmade has been incredible for my small business. We
grew our sales more than 200% last year, and had our best sales day
ever on Amazon this Cyber Monday,” said Ken Baker, owner of Dream
Big Printables in Charlotte, North Carolina. “Our growth with
Amazon has allowed Dream Big Printables to hire local employees as
well as increase donations to local non-profits.”
The 2019 Amazon SMB Impact Report revealed that on average,
American small and medium-sized businesses sell more than 4,000
items per minute in Amazon’s stores. In 2019, Amazon invested more
