Amazon Prime Day is back on July 11th, and hopefully it will just keep getting better with time! If you have experienced prime day from the beginning you know that the first year was rough. However, last year was actually pretty good! A lot of those kinks and disappointments were worked out. So we can only hope that the 3rd time is the charm! To help you prepare for Prime Day, I have put together a post featuring everything you need to know so that you can be prepared to grab the best deals!
The most important thing is to sign up for Amazon Prime! If you are not an Amazon Prime Member you won’t be able to grab any of these deals. So sign up TODAY for a free 30-day trial. The second most important thing is to know when deals are going live. Deals will start at 9:00pm EST on July 10th. That is 8:00pm CST, 7:00pm MST, and 6:00pm PST. Also, you can start watching deals on July 9th, 24 hours before they are live!
Remember, if you miss a deal you can join the waitlist. Each deal offered will function like a lightening deal. So if customers don’t check out quickly (within 15 minutes) or change their mind, waitlisted customers will be notified that they can purchase the item. Each deal is live until quantities or time restrictions are met. New deals will start as often as every 5 minutes for 30 hours straight!
What is a Spotlight Deal? Amazon is going to be featuring Spotlight Deals throughout the day. These deals are available in higher quantities and feature top brands, popular items, and deep discounts that will last until the stock is gone. You can access them through the “Shop All Deals” link found here.
Some exclusive Prime Deals will go live as early as July 5th. So make note of these deals and the days they go live:
- July 5th Voice Shopping (New for 2017! Alexa-enabled devices like Echo or Echo Dot will have exclusive access to Prime Day Voice Shopping Deals)
- July 6th Amazon Music
- July 7th Prime Video
- July 8th Everyday Essentials
- July 9th Reading with Prime
- July 10th Prime Day Begins
Preparation is key to grabbing the deals you want on Prime Day. Amazon has made it super easy for you to scope out what is going to be featured and receive alerts when those items go live. Plus, you can stick with Freebies2Deals to keep you in the loop on all the hot deals. So get ready to shop ’til your fingers drop on Amazon Prime Day!
