ABOUT NEGEV PLUS
Where Local Innovation Goes Global
LIVING—AND WORKING—IN AN E-COMMERCE WORLD
In today’s business landscape, e-commerce has emerged as a transformative force, changing the way people buy and sell—and who can launch a successful business. For ambitious and hardworking student entrepreneurs, the digital marketplace can provide a path to financial independence from almost any starting point, allowing you to live where and how you want while running your own company. For small to midsize business owners in the Negev, e-commerce means access to a global customer base. And for both these groups, e-commerce offers them the potential for near exponential scale, and turns new technologies and trends into opportunities to go farther and earn more.
THE AMAZON ADVANTAGE
Amazon is one of the largest and most popular e-commerce platforms, with hundreds of millions of customers all around the world. Even better for aspiring e-commerce entrepreneurs, Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) businesses allow you to send your products directly to Amazon’s global network of fulfillment centers, which handle all the packing and shipping of orders as well as customer service and returns. FBA businesses are inexpensive to open and make it easy to track and analyze sales for better decision-making. Finally, Amazon’s nearly endless array of products means that savvy entrepreneurs can find their niche, follow their passions, and continually expand their product lines.
