Exciting news for e-Commerce shoppers in The Netherlands this week who now have the option of shopping on Amazon.nl.
The site will list 100 million items across more than 30 categories, including Books, Music, Games, Fashion, Consumer Electronics, Home & Kitchen, Sports or Health & Beauty. It will also offer its Prime service for €2.99 per month, giving access to fast and free delivery on millions of products as well as access to a large selection of movies and TV shows on Prime Video.
According to online retail magazine Twinkle, Amazon is already in sixth place in the Dutch market, with sales of €350 million in 2018. However historically shoppers in the Netherlands have accessed Amazon’s expansive catalogue through its German site, Amazon.de which has offered 24-hour delivery from Germany to the Netherlands on 3 million items. With 85% of the Netherlands’ population shopping online in an e-commerce market worth an estimated €23.7 billion, it can be a fertile market for brands and retailers to unlock their selling potential and reach new customers. Amazon.nl can provide an excellent means of reaching this market.
In a statement Amazon revealed it will be easier for Dutch businesses to sell their products on Amazon, reach more customers and expand.
