What is Amazon Prime Day?
Leverage influencers and their platforms – Influencers are a valuable tool for brands, as they can influence an entirely new audience of individuals to trust your brand. Typically, individuals are more likely to buy something their favorite influencer promotes than something they see randomly online.

In the event there is a second Prime Day, is your brand ready to cash in on what could be one of the biggest shopping holidays of the year? From buttoned-up operations to eye-catching creative and savvy advertising tactics, we’ve compiled the ultimate checklist to ensure you are Prime Day ready.
Before we dive in, it’s important to understand why Prime Day is one of the biggest shopping events of the year and how it has evolved. Amazon launched Prime Day in 2015 to celebrate its 20th anniversary. The first Amazon Prime Day was a one-day retail holiday for Prime members. Since then, Prime Day has overtaken Black Friday and Cyber Monday as the biggest annual sales event on Amazon, with better deals on more products resulting in increased sales (and Prime memberships).
Check out brands with big wins – In this post, we dive into success stories from several Tinuiti clients who came into Prime Day with a well-planned and executed strategy, and saw their sales skyrocket.
While this would be the first time that Amazon has formally conducted a fall Prime Day like event, it’s not the first time that Amazon has had multiple-week category-specific deal periods in the leadup to Turkey Five. In the past, Amazon has conducted similar events across Beauty, Apparel, and other categories.
