More on Amazon Prime Day
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).
According to Adobe Analytics data, the self-made shopping holiday brought in nearly $5.6 billion on Monday and $5.4 billion on Tuesday, making Monday the biggest day for digital sales in 2021.
According to Tinuiti’s 2021 client data, US Amazon advertisers increased Sponsored Products spend by 16% relative to last Prime Day (October 13-14, 2020), and ramped up Sponsored Brands investment by 22%. Cost per click jumped 19% for Sponsored Products, but just 4% for Sponsored Brands, as brands competed for shoppers on the busy sales ‘holiday.’
