Just sharing my Edupreneur Journey: the joy with my big win today — from classroom to global seller! After weeks of processing documents with the Amazon Global Selling staff related to JETRO (Japan External Trading Organization), all my accounts are cleared now. Ready to face new challenges in the global market. Hope to share soon how one can level up from classroom to global selling with original products (Private Labels with Brand Registry) via Amazon and other marketplaces.
As of the moment, OLIVES, Inc. has 17 originally-designed products since 2021. Currently, I’m working on the Olives Project 2024 focused on Japanese Manhole replicas in collaboration with the city halls and prefectural offices throughout Japan.  Other than Amazon, I’m open to wholesalers and resellers now who can sell my original products on whatever platform they use.
It’s been a joy and a challenge to design original products: from searching for unique items to designing for mass production and then marketing them. The inspiration is more of appreciation for Japan’s unique culture and expression of my gratitude as my host country for more than 30 years now. It’s amazing how Amazon Japan and JETRO are helping me realize the dream to go global.
Above is a screenshot from my Amazon Seller’s account which depicts the 14 marketplaces. Hope to focus more on this endeavor after completing the Olives Project 2014: Japan Manhole Cover Souvenir Fridge Magnets/Coasters.

– This helps to provide a seamless shopping experience for customers in different countries.
3. Fulfillment and Logistics
