The History of Prime Day – 9 Years of Amazon’s Biggest Deal Event

In a recap of its nine-year history, Amazon’s Prime Day has yet again proven to be the titan’s biggest deal event. Since its inception on July 15, 2015, on Amazon’s 20th birthday, the Prime Day event has consistently offered exclusive deals to Prime members, benefiting both top brands and emerging small businesses.

In a look back at Prime Day 2022, the event, held on July 12-13, saw participation from more than 20 countries. The event boasted record-breaking figures, with Prime members snapping up over 300 million items globally – a staggering number that cemented the event as Amazon’s most successful Prime Day yet. The shopping frenzy also resulted in Prime members saving over $1.7 billion, a higher amount than any previous Prime Day.

What’s notable about the 2022 event was the tremendous success of independent sellers, primarily small and medium-sized businesses. Their sales growth within Amazon’s store outperformed that of Amazon’s own retail business, marking the event as a significant platform for these businesses.

Some intriguing trends were observed during the event. Prime members worldwide shopped most feverishly between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. PT on Tuesday, July 12. The speed of purchasing was a dizzying 100,000 items per minute.

Popular categories included Amazon Devices, Consumer Electronics, and Home products, with top-selling items ranging from premium beauty brands like LANEIGE and NuFACE to Apple Watch Series 7, and even diapers from Pampers and The Honest Company.

Small businesses reaped significant benefits from the event. In the three weeks leading up to Prime Day, customers supported these businesses, generating over $3 billion in sales, part of the Support Small Businesses to Win Big Sweepstakes. During this period, customers also purchased more than 100 million items from these small businesses.

Amazon Live also took centre stage during Prime Day 2022, with live streams racking up over 100 million views. Thousands of creators leveraged the platform, streaming their content throughout the event. From these figures, it’s clear that Amazon’s Prime Day has become more than just a shopping event – it’s a global phenomenon that combines retail, entertainment, and community support, all into one.
