Are you ready for Amazon Prime Day? This year’s one-day shopping event just may be the marketplace giant’s biggest yet. Here’s why:
- Amazon has officially exceeded the 100 million mark for Prime memberships
- New memberships tend to soar as people seek to gain access to Prime Day specials. Last year, Amazon said more people joined Prime on July 11 than on any single day in the company’s history
- Amazon’s conversion rate on Prime Day is more than 5x higher than the average of the top 500 largest online retailers in North America
It all adds up to some incredible opportunities to connect with consumers and drive sales. In fact, last year’s Prime Day didn’t just set a new record. Sales grew by more than 60% compared with the year before, fueled by a record number of Prime members shopping across 13 countries.
This year’s event is fast approaching. It’s time to get ready, and ChannelAdvisor is here to help.
