In March, participants and supporters of the Amazonia em casa, Floresta em p\u00e9 (Amazon in Home, Standing Forest) movement gathered to assess the activities carried out in 2020 and outline exercises for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Started in June last year, the movement was one of the solutions developed for Amazonian businesses to continue their sales during the pandemic, encouraging the adoption of e-commerce strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result, businesses that had a drastic reduction in sales in 2020 (a drop from 70% to 90% in sales) started their journey in e-commerce and reaped good results, whether in sales or visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Started from a pilot project in June 2020, in partnership with Mercado Livre, the movement has been growing and unfolding, with specific activation milestones in September, the month of the Amazon, on Green Friday in November and also on the occasion of Christmas .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among the strategies and actions adopted by the movement are solutions in the area of logistics and storage - consolidation of shared stock in S\u00e3o Paulo, logistics coordination, handling and delivery to the final consumer, 24-hour delivery in S\u00e3o Paulo and 48-hour delivery to other places in the Brazil, freight subsidy, taxes and storage, free transfer of goods on the Manaus \u2013 S\u00e3o Paulo route. In the commercial area, an exclusive form was developed for B2B sales, in addition to the creation of a catalog and commercial materials, corporate baskets and for B2C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the area of communication and marketing, the movement promoted the activation of influencers through lives with Amazonian entrepreneurs, contact with opinion makers, in addition to developing an identity and website aimed at the initiative. A network of 35 digital influencers, including journalists, chefs, artists and nutrition and health professionals, was involved in the activation actions.
