Amazon Prime Launches " Handmade At Amazon Artisan"
Amazon Launched its new store "Handmade At Amazon Artisan" on October 8, 2015, and it's all about Handmade items! I like this bold step that Amazon has taken to give the online creators of handmade products a bigger and better opportunity. I love creating my handmade products and it looks like Amazon has an appreciation for the skill and hard work that is put into the making of handmade products. I adore Etsy, but Amazon is now the gateway for online entrepreneurs to having a larger and broader customer base which equates to more profits. In my opinion, Amazon has made a major move in uniting their customer base with online crafters, creators, and entrepreneurs of handmade products. Amazon has sparked the attention of Ten Pink Apples and given me hope that I will be a "Handmade At Amazon Artisan" at Amazon in the near future.
I did a little research and found this website. I want to share with you a little information I found that may answer any questions you might have. The owner of this website has some pretty good inside information about the ins-and-outs of how this works with Amazon. If you care to read the entire article, I have provided the link below. I think this is going to broaden the demographics of customers who will purchase handmade goods. Good Job Amazon!!!

This information is from:https://kennedyrobinsonpr.wordpress.com/2015/06/26/handmade-at-amazon-is-accepting-applications/. She received an invite back in June of this year.
“Handmade” is an invite only community so you have to complete an application. Right now, Handmade at Amazon is open to artisans who make Jewelry, Home products (Art, Baby Bedding, Bath, Bedding, Furniture, Home Décor, Kitchen & Dining, Lighting, Patio, Lawn & Garden, Storage & Organization), Party Supplies and Stationery.
The application is pretty straight forward and simple. It asks the normal questions such as your business name, city, state, website, etc. Then it gets into the nitty gritty asking questions such as:
- What type of products do you sell?
- How do you make them?
- Are they indeed handmade or hand-altered?
- How long have you been selling?
- Where do you sell?
- Do you sell at Craft Fairs?
- How many employees do you have?
