Episode description

What is NARF? Probably the worst acronym ever. However, the North American Remote Fulfillment Program could make a huge difference in your foreign sales. In this episode, Scott gives his opinion and analysis about what this could mean for your business. The reason this program is so great is because Amazon takes control of a lot of the hassle that is usually involved in foreign marketplaces. It gives added benefits of having the prime badge, only costing an average of $3.50 for all of the foreign shipping and handling, and has already been shown to have product sales growth in Canada. Scott has experienced a shift in his international sales perspective from this program alone. 1:00 Instant additional sales 5:06 NARF availability 11:12 Some restrictions with the program https://www.instagram.com/smartestseller/
