Businesses

The Amazon Campus Challenge gives French companies the opportunity to launch their business for the first time on Amazon’s Marketplace. They will receive the support of a student task force whose mission is to help them create their account, develop their e-business strategy, manage their sales, and maximise profits over a four-month period.

Why should your business take part in the Amazon Campus Challenge ?

  • Trigger new growth by developing an e-commerce activity.

  • Expand international sales with access to 5 European Marketplaces: France, Italy, Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom.

  • Benefit from the guidance and support of a team of students that will contribute their academic knowledge, motivation and creativity.

  • Collaborate with students interested in your industry and identify future talent for your business.

  • Receive a 4-month free trial on Marketplace.

How to take part in the Amazon Campus Challenge ?

 Prospecting is an important part of the Amazon Campus Challenge. This is why students are asked to prospect for companies in order to get them to participate. Students will contact you and discuss your motivations, priorities, and availability first. They will then send you a registration link so that you may make your participation official.

 

If no team has contacted you and you still want to participate, contact us.

    Thanks to Amazon Campus Challenge, I have been able to benefit from a genuine sales proposition thanks to the fresh perspective of 4 students. All from different schools and background, but sharing a single wish: to grow my business! And as a bonus, it was free of charge! These challenge months have really been a benefit, on both a personal and a professional level. All of us have managed to increase sales to a significant extent. I would strongly recommend to any business that they embark upon this adventure !

    We would recommend that other companies embark upon this challenge. The team was very professional indeed, and we are delighted. She managed to dismantle our sceptical attitude and ended up putting together a really lovely Amazon shop window: great listings, lots of positive reviews, improved sales, and growth at European level. Following on from this project, we would even like to expand the offering to the American platform. Thank you for everything!

    Before Amazon Campus Challenge, I wanted to open my shop on Amazon, but given that it being a small set-up I was nervous about the work it would involve. The student team supported me and covered a significant amount of core work for the launch of a good, comprehensive catalog. My thanks go out to Amazon Campus Challenge for giving small businesses the opportunity to get help with their launch through this competition.

Suggestions to participating companies 

Dedicate time for weekly exchanges with the students from November to the end of May. Good communication is key to success.
