Stay on top of the latest e-commerce and marketplace trends.
The period surrounding Amazon’s Prime Day is always a critical time for brands and retailers, both on and off the e-marketplace — but this year’s event was poised to be unlike any other before it.
Amazon postponing the annual shopping event to Oct. 13–14, from its usual mid-July date, completely disrupted the holiday shopping season, and left brands and retail competitors scrambling to pivot their typical Q4 strategies and in-store shopping events to best compete.
Retailers such as Walmart, Target, and Best Buy, among others, launched similar shopping promotions during the lead-up and week of the event in anticipation of increased online search traffic and consumers beginning their holiday shopping early.
How would the event’s new date impact consumer behavior? How should brands and sellers on Amazon prepare their Prime Day strategies in the midst of the most anticipated Q4 in e-commerce history?
Indeed, 51% of consumers said they viewed Prime Day this year as the kickoff to the 2020 holiday shopping season, according to Feedvisor research. For brands and sellers on Amazon, driving sales momentum and discoverability during the event would be crucial to their performance for the remainder of Q4.
In this special report, Prime Day 2020 Analysis: Results, Insights, and Projections for Holiday Selling, we examine Feedvisor customer sales and advertising data across Amazon’s U.S. marketplace during Prime Day 2020, identifying key takeaways and performance indicators to share our insights for the remainder of the holiday shopping season.
