The company is encouraging customers to set up personalized deal notifications.
“Prime Day is a celebration of the value we bring to members all year long, and features millions of deals across more than 35 product categories as well as discounts on Amazon devices, quality entertainment, groceries, travel, and more during the event,” said Jamil Ghani, vice president of Amazon Prime. “In fact, over the course of last year, Amazon customers saved nearly $24 billion from deals and coupons — with Prime members enjoying the vast majority of those savings — including over $2.5 billion during Prime Day 2023.”
Other retailers tend to announce similar promotions in the days surrounding Prime Day. For instance, Target announced its Circle Week will be held July 7-13. Target says customers can get up to 50% off select toys, up to 40% off kitchen items, and 30% off family apparel, bedding and bath.
Meanwhile, Walmart Deals will run July 8 at 5 p.m. ET through July 11 at 11:59 p.m. ET, the company said. Walmart said this year's Walmart Deals is its "largest savings event ever." Walmart said Walmart+ members will have early access to shop the hottest deals starting at noon ET on July 8.
