Amazon is setting the stage for a major platform shift — and for thousands of small vendors, it could be a devastating change. In a bid to refocus their wholesaling efforts on big brands and encourage more third-party sellers, Amazon will cease ordering from small wholesale vendors. Putting an emphasis on goods from companies like Proctor & Gamble and Sony will be advantageous for Amazon, but for the little guys, this change will come at a steep cost.  Continue reading “Amazon to drop nearly all small brands in sellout to Proctor & Gamble (and other big, toxic corporate brands)”
