Everything You Need to Know to Prepare For Amazon Prime Day

Both tablets also come in kids’ editions (for $69.99 and $89.99, respectively), which come with a case, a 1-year subscription to Amazon’s kid-friendly digital content service and a no-questions-asked 2-year warranty – making it the flawless tablet for kids of any age.

Other examples of rival retailers rolling out their own discounts this week include department store chain J.C. Penney, which is holding its “Penney Palooza” sale online again this year.

The simplest course is to utilize Amazon’s Shopping application to watch bargains on select things you need to purchase.

Prime Day will actually run a bit longer than 24 hours. The massive sale event will last 30 hours and begin a late Monday night.

That’s all we know for sure right now, but once Prime Day is launched, Amazon promises that new sales will be added regularly (as soon as every five minutes, apparently!).

Additionally, Prime members tend to spend more at Whole Foods, according to the report – so as Amazon continues to acquire more Prime subscribers, it should be a spending boon to both entities, which is another factor that may have influenced Amazon’s acquisition decision. Prime costs about $100 per year. However, for Prime Day, they’ll cost $0.99 and still give you that $4.99 credit. It would also be interesting to see how much more Echo Show users voice shop (given the addition of the new screen) compared to Echo users. Amazon’s chief financial officer described it as “Christmas in July” and “quite frankly, bigger.than Black Friday”.

We’ll be spending all of Prime Day dealing with the a huge number of arrangements and posting just the best ones to our Deals page, our Twitter account, and our Daily Deals bulletin. But the company did say there will be some “amazing” deals on a “variety” of television brands – including the Amazon Fire TV edition of the ultra high-definition Element 4K TV.

It’s a smart strategy by eBay, according to retail experts, who said Amazon has done the heavy lifting of creating a shopping holiday during a typically slow spending season before the back-to-school rush.

By the end of a year ago, Amazon had leased about 40 planes from cargo partner Atlas Air and had been flying them between at least 10 airports, Fortune reported.

Josh Hosey from Kittanning said: “If I was a Prime member, I probably would ’cause I’m very into electronics, and I do buy stuff from there”. While the goal is steep, Amazon already extended Prime Day sales by more than 50% in the US and more than 60% worldwide in 2016. In the days preceding Prime Day, Prime members can try Prime Music Unlimited for four months at just $.99 per month.

Specifically in the grocery category, Amazon will look to draw shoppers to its various consumables channels, including Amazon Fresh, Prime Now and Prime Pantry, to appeal to shoppers exploring its grocery options after its acquisition of Whole Foods.
