What is Prime Day? Prime Day Review

Prime Day is a one-day global shopping festival launched by Amazon on July 15, 2015, exclusively for Prime members.

Preparations before Prime Day

1. Optimize the conversion rate of your product.

2. Run advertisements and flash sales to boost sales. During the period leading up to Prime Day, boost sales and accumulate reviews. On Prime Day, your product will have a greater advantage.

3. Optimize the product's official website, banners and advertising images, and change them in a timely manner. If you announce the promotion information for Prime Day on your official website early, buyers who visit your official website and know your company are likely to put the goods in the shopping cart and buy your products, which can increase the conversion rate of your products.

4. Increase your advertising budget to expose your products more often, because user activity is the highest during this period. Many people are choosing their favorite products and waiting for the big sale on Prime Day.

5. Monitor follow-up sales at all times to prevent shopping carts from being snatched and flash sales from being cancelled.

6. If your product has many after-sales issues, you must arrange employees and customer service to be on duty 24 hours a day. A timely answer may generate an order, and this order does not require any promotion fees.

Tip

1. Improve the product page: shorten the product title, use a white background as the main image, and make the product features precise and concise.

2. Run advertisements to increase exposure.

3. Pay attention to the number of transactions during the flash sale. If orders surge, you can adjust the available quantity of the product during the flash sale to meet sales demand.
