In the run-up to Prime Day, Amazon customers will receive a £10 credit to spend on Prime Day when they spend £10 with a small business.\n\nMore than half of all products sold on Amazon are from small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs). In fact, between May 2019 and May 2020 independent selling partners in the UK, many of who are SMEs, sold more than 600 million products on Amazon stores – up 100 million from the previous year, and equivalent to 1,200 products sold per minute.\n\nTo find out more, Chris and Rosie followed the journey of a product sold by [Dock & Bay](https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Dock+%26+Bay/page/32959FC5-4B7B-4B10-A37A-87172DE6865E?ref_=ast_bln), the colourful beachwear brand founded by Andy Jefferies which sells the majority of its goods through Amazon.\n\nChris and Rosie said: “Before today we had no idea that over half of the products sold on Amazon were from small and medium businesses, so it was great to meet Andy and hear more about how retailing on Amazon has positively impacted thousands of UK businesses like Dock & Bay.”\n\nAfter first meeting with Andy to learn more about the business, Chris and Rosie headed to one of our fulfilment centres to see how Amazon gets products from small businesses into their customer's homes. Amazon employees guided Chris and Rosie through the fulfilment journey from picking and sorting products, to boxing, van charging and delivery. \n\nThe co-authors of *[Shagged. Married.

Every year we look out for Prime Day and can’t wait to have a browse on 21st and 22nd June.”\n\n**Find out how [Amazon is supporting small businesses.](https://blog.aboutamazon.co.uk/supporting-small-businesses)**","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"About Amazon","url":"https://www.aboutamazon.com","sameAs":["https://x.com/amazonnews","https://www.linkedin.com/company/amazon","https://www.instagram.com/amazonnews"],"logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://assets.aboutamazon.com/bd/8f/88e7b0314cc2bd05b9de3155a0fe/amazon-news.svg"},"parentOrganization":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Amazon","url":"https://www.amazon.com","sameAs":["https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3884","https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_(company)","https://x.com/Amazon"]}}}
