Amazon Prime Day is a two-day shopping festival, inaugurated in 2015 to celebrate Amazon’s 20th birthday. Open exclusively to Prime members, shoppers are offered discounts on a variety of goods on the Amazon marketplace, and it’s not just limited to Amazon’s own-brand devices and products.
Amazon’s own brands on Prime Day
Yet it was Amazon’s own-brand devices that received the most boost from Prime Day sales in 2019, with a 47 percent increase in purchase rate from 2018 as displayed in the statistic. Ultimately, UK shoppers on this day bought hundreds of thousands of Amazon products. In a similar vein, many Amazon devices and services such as Audible, Kindle, and Echo got some of the highest amounts of clicks on the retailer’s UK platform.
Prime Day vs Black Friday
Prime Day is certainly becoming a big hit amongst online shoppers globally, but it is no match to the glory of Black Friday on Amazon. While typically Amazon’s own devices were again the top-sellers in the UK, Amazon processed over 11 million transactions on its UK platform during week associated with Black Friday and Cyber Monday in 2018.
