Amazon Growth In 2023

Published on Nov 15, 2022

THE WORLD’S MOST IMPORTANT PRODUCT SEARCH ENGINE.

When it comes to Amazon, numbers don't lie.

Amazon has become “The” platform to sell your products, and it's not even close. With over 150 million mobile users, and 300 million total active users your products are at the fingertips of nearly ½ of Americans.

So why aren’t you selling on Amazon?

“It has gotten increasingly hard to be ‘found’ on Amazon, as it has been flooded with products from internet marketers and ‘me too’ products attempting to game the system.” (David Heacock - CEO of Filterbuy)

That's where Straight Up Growth comes into play. In 2023 SUG is on target to bring in over $500 million for their clients and they want to do the same for you.
