Amazon AMZN is leaving no stone unturned to deliver an enhanced experience to sellers on its e-commerce platform with its robust solutions.

The introduction of the latest marketing solutions, which will be executed as part of Buy with Prime, testifies to the aforesaid fact.

Buy with Prime is a new program that helps direct-to-consumer (DTC) e-commerce sellers expand their customer reach by offering Prime shopping benefits such as fast, free delivery and a seamless checkout experience to shoppers off the Amazon website.

New solutions like advertising, social media ads and Buy with Prime marketing toolkits are likely to aid DTC sellers in gaining momentum among Amazon Shoppers.

Bottom Line

We believe that the latest seller-oriented solutions, combined with Prime benefits, will aid Amazon in gaining solid momentum among third-party sellers, which have turned out to be crucial for AMZN’s business growth.

This, in turn, will contribute to the company’s financial performance in the days ahead.

This is likely to instill investor optimism in the stock in the near term.
