In São Paulo, small and medium-sized business owners are finding a new way to increase their revenue with autonomy and flexibility. The idea is simple: use slower periods to make package deliveries within their own community and generate extra income.
The initiative is part of Amazon Hub Delivery, a program that connects local businesses to deliveries made by Amazon. In total, small and medium-sized partner businesses in Greater São Paulo could collectively receive up to R$ 69 million per year in additional revenue.
How Amazon Hub Delivery works
For those who own a stationery store, mini-market, flower shop, hair salon, or any other neighborhood business, the idea is simpler than it seems. The program does not require the owner to change the focus of their business, but rather to use the existing infrastructure to receive and deliver Amazon packages to the neighborhood.
In practice, Amazon Hub Delivery works as a complement to the business’s daily operations. The partner has complete autonomy to choose the times that best fit their daily schedule. This way, they can take advantage of slow periods to make deliveries, enabling products to reach consumers faster. It’s real flexibility, tailored to each business’s routine.
For entrepreneurs, this means a new source of income of up to an extra R$ 30,000 per year, with no initial investment required. The program focuses on leveraging the local expertise of merchants, who know the streets and residents of their area well, to reduce delivery times —which, in many cases, drop from five days to just one.
In this way, the program brings convenience and fast delivery to shoppers and financial sustainability to sellers. By participating in the program, small businesses don’t need to become logistics companies, but rather can leverage Amazon’s established infrastructure to make their own ventures more profitable.
With a presence in ten Brazilian states and a network of over 300 logistics centers, Amazon Hub Delivery has established itself as a growth opportunity for small and medium-sized businesses seeking to increase their revenue in an organic and hassle-free way.
