The best ways to shop on Amazon Prime Day

What is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day is an annual shopping event exclusively for Amazon Prime members that typically offers deals on a wide variety of products, including electronics, home goods, clothing, and more. The event usually takes place over 2 days, with many early bird deals starting early and some deals hanging around after the event officially closes Amazon created Prime Day as a way to celebrate and provide exclusive benefits to its Prime members.

Amazon Prime Day: Exclusively for Prime Members

Amazon Prime Day is an annual event created by Amazon to provide exclusive benefits to its Prime members worldwide. This shopping event has grown significantly since its inception in 2015 and has become one of the most eagerly awaited events in the e-commerce calendar. The concept behind Prime Day is simple – offer Prime members discounts and exclusive deals on a wide variety of products that rival or exceed those offered on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

Prime Day is a unique event in that it's only open to Amazon Prime members, and anyone who wants to participate in sales and deals must first become a Prime member. The event usually takes place in the month of July, with the first offers starting early and some offers continuing even after the event has officially closed. Prime Day is basically Amazon's way of saying thank you to its loyal members and giving them an extra incentive to stick around.

History of Prime Day

Amazon originally launched Prime Day in 2015 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the business. The launch event took place on July 15 and promised to offer deals equal to or better than those on Black Friday. The event was a huge success and resulted in a 266% increase in sales compared to the previous year. Amazon saw over $1 billion in sales during its first Prime Day in just 24 hours, making it the biggest sales day in the company's history at the time.

After the success of the inaugural event, Amazon decided to make Prime Day an annual shopping event, and it has grown in size and scope every year since. The event became so popular that it was expanded to other countries, including the UK, Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Japan, India and Australia.

What to expect during Prime Day

Amazon Prime Day is a bargain hunter's paradise. During the event, Prime members can expect big savings on a variety of products including electronics, homewards, clothing, beauty products and much more. Many offers are exclusive to Prime members, meaning only those members will be able to take advantage of them.

Prime Day is also a great time to get great deals on Amazon's own products like Echo devices, Fire TV sticks, and Kindles. The company usually offers significant discounts on these products, making them much more affordable. Plus, Prime Day is a great time to pick up hot-ticket items like laptops, tablets, and cameras

The best ways to shop on Amazon Prime Day

The first day of Amazon Prime Day is tomorrow! Every year, a two-day sale is held just for Prime members. If you are a Prime member, you can take advantage of a ton—and I do mean A TON—of offers, but just on July 11 and 12. Prime Deals can be confusing, but by combining my Amazon Storefront and my post on Amazon Best Sellers, you can shop during Amazon Prime Day like a pro.

Because I found Amazon Prime Day to be too overwhelming, I used to avoid purchasing. I would give up and not purchase anything because there are so many goods. It was much simpler for me to go through all the things last year because I signed up for a programme where Amazon shared their top Prime Day fashion and cosmetic recommendations with me. You have a wide selection on my Amazon Storefront because I looked through several categories and bookmarked my favorites.
