329 – Amazon Wants You to Sell Groceries 16.03.2026

Amazon doesn't usually send category spotlights to sellers unless something big is happening. Recently, they emailed sellers with one of the main headers of the email message that read "5 Things to Know About Selling Groceries in Our Store"...and when Amazon highlights a category like that, it's worth paying attention.
