Aussie women taking their businesses global thanks to this 'game-changing' service

Aussies love nothing more than a local success story that's gone global. These two Australian business owners started small and now have international reach.

Here's how they've done it:

Renae Bunster, founder of Bunsters Hot Sauce

When Renae went on holiday to Central America in 2011, she fell in love with the delicious, spicy sauces from the region. On her return home to Perth, she tried to find something equally as spicy. When none of the supermarket sauces hit the spot, she decided to make her own.

"Friends who'd never even liked chilli were suddenly kicking down my door for the stuff," she says. "It very quickly turned into a thriving business and people from all over Australia started ordering off me."

Recently featured on Gordon Ramsay's TikTok, her sauce has been eaten by Natalie Portman, Jeff Goldblum and Michael Cera.

Renae credits her international success to using the Fulfilment by Amazon service. They help small to medium business owners grow by giving them global reach. Once a sale is made, they pick, pack and ship the order to the customer, so the business owner can concentrate on marketing the business and perfecting the product.

"It was a no-brainer for us," says Renae. "Not only did it free up loads of our time, but it’s the global shipping that no one can beat."

Denise Billsborough, founder of Little Archer & Co

When she was pregnant with her son Archer in 2017, Denise started searching online for baby items. She found she was confused and overwhelmed by the huge amount of options out there, all available from different places. She decided to create a one-stop shop to make life easier for expectant parents.

Little Archer & Co is a curated collection of useful and beautiful baby and toddler items, selling everything from baby gyms to breast pads. The store has been so successful that Denise is now regularly shipping products both around Australia and to the UK.

"The Fulfilment By Amazon service has been a game-changer," says Denise. "It alleviates many logistical headaches that would have otherwise been overwhelming. I never imagined I could sell my products in the UK.

"Amazon takes care of the picking, packing, and shipping services on my behalf. Without these services, I would need to hire additional staff to manage inventory and shipping, which simply wouldn't be feasible for a small business like mine.”
