AMEP staff and
regional partners play a unique
role helping rural Alaska home-based
businesses and artists to expand
into new markets using the Internet.
This empowers the local artisans and
manufacturers to work directly with
customers, rather than relying on
layers in the distribution channel.
AMEP fills a
unique niche in the Alaska economic
development system by:
-
Connecting
rural communities with distant
markets through E-Commerce. This
gives artisans and home-based
manufacturers higher profit
margins, more control over their
business and greater customer
feedback.
-
Strengthening
collaboration between existing
economic development
organizations. AMEP matches the
needs of existing manufacturers
with local, statewide and
national experts to solve their
business challenges. This system
is a locally-centered,
needs-driven, bottom-up method
of delivering business
assistance.
