AMAZON PRIME DAY IS COMING SOON
IN THIS ARTICLE:
Last year, there were two Amazon sales. The first, Prime Day, took place on July 12 and 13. The second was called the Amazon Early Access Sale, and it took place on Oct. 11 and 12. While Amazon hasn’t officially announced the dates for the 2023 Prime Day, based on previous years, there is a very high likelihood that the 48-hour sale will take place on July 11 and 12. Here’s everything we know so far.
EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT PRIME DAY 2023
Prime Day will most likely be held on the second Tuesday and Wednesday of July. It will probably be a 48-hour event that begins at 3 a.m. EDT, and you will need to be an Amazon Prime member to get the deals. If you haven’t been an Amazon Prime member for the past 12 months, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial period on Amazon’s Prime page.
The products that go on sale include everything from recognizable brand-name merchandise to independent products that you may never have heard of before the sale. Besides deep discounts, most products also have fast and free delivery — it’s feasible that you could purchase something on Tuesday and have it at your house on Wednesday before the sale even ends.
Additionally, some companies align their release schedule to coincide with this event, so it’s often possible to get the latest versions of products on Prime Day. However, if you don’t need the newest model, last year’s products are usually available at a deep discount.
It’s important to remember that Prime Day isn’t just for physical products. You can get discounts on music, videos, games and more during these 48 hours. If you’re interested in clothing, don’t forget to take part in Amazon’s “try before you buy” program, where you get to try up to six items of clothing for up to seven days before you have to pay.
BEST BETS FOR DEEP DISCOUNTS ON PRIME DAY
Since Prime Day is an Amazon event, one of the best places to look for deep discounts is Amazon tech. Here are 10 products to consider.
