  • Be customer-focused and emphasize a customer benefit(s)

The press release should NOT:

  • Include a quote from an Amazon employee or representative
  • Include any sales projections
  • Refer to your organization as an 'associate' of Amazon.com, as this could be confused with Amazon Associates, our online affiliate program
  • Disclose proprietary information about Amazon, or refer to our stock ticker symbol
