Year after year, Amazon breaks its own Q4 records in terms of sales, Prime membership adoption, and number of orders fulfilled via rapid delivery. However, given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on consumer sentiment and shopping behavior, Q4 this year is expected to be the biggest and most active selling period in e-commerce history. 

With Prime Day in October, brick-and-mortar retailers shuttering their doors on Thanksgiving — the traditional kickoff date for Black Friday sales — and more consumers and brands pivoting to e-commerce than ever before, the stakes have never been higher.

Amazon and e-marketplace sales are projected to grow 32%–35% in Q4 2020.

Before Prime Day 2019, last year’s Cyber Monday was Amazon’s most successful sales day in its history. Is your business prepared to take on the “Cyber Five” — the shopping period between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday — and carry sales through year’s end? 

In this comprehensive playbook, we include data-driven insights and recommendations to help ensure your Amazon operation is set up for success during Q4.
