If you’re an Amazon seller or an avid shopper, we’ve got great news that the next Amazon Prime day 2024 is just around the corner!
When was Amazon Prime Day 2024?
Amazon Prime Day is an exclusive event with deals only available to Amazon Prime members.
Amazon held their last Prime Day event on July 16th and 17th and will be holding another in October 2024. Just like in previous Amazon Prime Day sales, the offers started at midnight and new deals dropped throughout the next 48-hours.
Will there be a Prime Day in October 2024?
Amazon has already confirmed there will be an Amazon Prime Day on 8 & 9th October 2024.
This is a great opportunity to kick off your customers’ Black Friday shopping early with some well-planned deals.
Start planning now to get your offers in place and to organise your stock and delivery strategy. Read our blog on how SMEs can survive Black Friday for some excellent tips for the start of the busy retail season.
How often are Amazon Prime Days?
Amazon Prime Day used to take place just once a year in the summer - usually in July. But over the last couple of years, there’s been a second Prime Day sale in the autumn.
As we already know there will be another Prime Day this October, we see this as a sign that Prime Day Part 2 will be here to stay for the long term.
Amazon Prime for Buyers
If you’ve been eyeing up an expensive purchase, waiting until Prime Day to hit that checkout button could be a great way to save cash.
The Best Prime Day Deals
Amazon normally offers discounts across most of its departments, and that’s what we’ll be expecting to see for Amazon Prime Day 2024.
In July we spotted great offers on household products and electronics, with customers shopping for items like wireless headphones, kettles, and even electric toothbrushes.
In October, customers will expect savings across beauty, tech, small appliances, and more.
