It’s Official: Prime Day is Coming October 13-14

Hold onto your hats, folks! Prime Day is officially happening on October 13th-14th per Amazon’s website. After a postponement in July and months of waiting, we can finally save the date.

And with Prime Day 2019 sales exceeded $7.16 billion in just 48-hours and a 40% trend in sales increase YOY, this year is expected to bring another outstanding event. So how do we prepare with so little time left?

Two Weeks To Go

With so little time left, and with an incremental $3.59B expected to be spent on digital video ads, it could be time to shift some budget to digital. Traditional media has taken a huge hit this year due to COVID-19 as more people are spending their time indoors and online.

We suggest meeting your customers where they are. Shift dollars to Amazon Advertising and combine with highly competitive price points to succeed during this major eCommerce event. It’s a winning strategy that will kickstart your sales goals to carry you into Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the rest of the holiday season.

Amazon has also recently announced that they’re upgrading Alexa, building a gaming platform called Luna, and releasing a slew of new smart home and security devices (including a home drone). Can your brand capitalize on these new offerings? We can help you create, target, and capitalize on any advertisements you need.
