These days it’s hard not to have an opinion about Amazon. While some choose to focus on the negative, including workplace environment concerns in some of its warehouses or the impact that online retail has had on traditional physical retail stores, many others are extraordinarily grateful for the ability the company has provided during the pandemic（大流行病）to easily order almost anything and receive it in a timely, reliable manner without having to step outside their homes.
The debate is the positive impact that the company is having on small businesses, including minority-owned businesses. Amazon’s Prime Day event (scheduled for Oct. 13-14) offers an interesting example.
Given the convenience of huge traffic(物流) on Prime Day, that’s powerful motivation for consumers to purchase from small businesses — something that a lot of people may not have tried just yet. The move also encourages the company which helps small businesses across the US, which represent over 99.5% of all US businesses and employ half the country’s workforce. While many might assume that Amazon and other online retailers have only negatively impacted small businesses (and, no doubt, many small businesses have been hurt by the rapid shift to online shopping brought on by the pandemic), there’s a whole range of small businesses that have benefited from being on Amazon.
Some of these are existing small businesses that have successfully transitioned to functioning in the digital world of online shopping, while others are new small businesses that have been created specifically for the online world, including app developers, content creators, and more. Toyin Kolawole, an entrepreneur who immigrated to the U.S. from Nigeria about 20 years ago, provides some fascinating experiences. “I started my company with two products and would go to food shows trying to get noticed,” she said. “It was very expensive to participate and hard to make an impact.” But she eventually succeeded in getting some of her products into Walmart and Mariano’s. “With Amazon, I could take my flour and just put it in the flour section, so it gave me the opportunity to compete fairly,” she says.
如今，人们很难不对亚马逊发表意见。虽然一些人选择关注负面影响，包括一些仓库的工作环境问题或在线零售对传统实体零售店的影响，但许多其他人对该公司在疫情期间提供的能力表示非常感谢(大流行病）轻松订购几乎任何东西，并及时、可靠地收到，而无需走出家门。
争论的焦点是该公司对包括少数族裔企业在内的小企业产生的积极影响。亚马逊的Prime Day活动（定于10月13日至14日举行）提供了一个有趣的例子
考虑到巨大的交通便利性(物流) 在黄金日，这是消费者从小企业购买的强大动力——这可能是很多人还没有尝试过的。此举也鼓励了该公司帮助美国各地的小企业，这些企业占美国所有企业的99.5%以上，雇佣了美国一半的劳动力。虽然许多人可能认为亚马逊和其他在线零售商只对小企业产生了负面影响（毫无疑问，许多小企业受到了疫情带来的向网上购物的快速转变的伤害），但有一系列小企业从亚马逊上受益。
其中一些是已经成功过渡到在线购物数字世界运作的现有小企业，而另一些是专门为在线世界创建的新的小企业，包括应用程序开发商、内容创作者等。大约20年前从尼日利亚移民到美国的企业家Toyin Kolawole提供了一些有趣的经历。她说：“我以两种产品创办了我的公司，并会去参加食品展，试图引起人们的注意。”。“参与成本很高，很难产生影响。”但她最终成功地将自己的一些产品打入了沃尔玛和Mariano’s。她说：“在亚马逊，我可以把面粉放在面粉区，这样我就有机会公平竞争。”。
