History

Historical Context

Amazon introduced Prime on Feb 2 2005 with a $79 two-day shipping plan, using deep discounts to draw shoppers. By Jan 2016 the service had 54 million U.S. members, and the 2015 launch of Prime Day cemented its limited-time-sale strategy. Today’s Memorial Day cuts echo that aggressive pricing model, now mirrored by rivals such as Walmart.
