Amazon Launchpad is part of a portfolio of programs, tools, and services Amazon offers to help brands grow. There are hundreds of thousands of unique brand owners currently selling in Amazon’s U.S. store. In 2020, Amazon has launched more than 135 new tools and services to help sellers manage and grow their business.
“We know customers are looking for ways to support small businesses, and Launchpad helps them find some of the most innovative, unique products out there,” said Nick Love, Head of Amazon Launchpad. “On the small business and startup side, our main priority is to help brands build quality product detail pages highlighting the uniqueness of the product, tell customers about their brand story, share best practices for selling in Amazon’s store, drive product awareness, and ultimately, increase sales. The Amazon Launchpad program’s 2020 class, fueled by small business and startup companies, has grown sales more than 75 percent year-over-year as of the end of August. This growth allows them to focus on the innovation. We continue to be inspired by the success many startups have seen over the past five years in the Launchpad program and the big ideas that these small brands have brought to customers.”
