History

Historical Context

Amazon launched its first Prime Day on July 15 2015, promising more deals than Black Friday and quickly surpassing that day’s sales. The event helped grow Prime to about 200 million members worldwide by April 2021, prompting rivals such as Walmart+ to create similar subscription sales. The October 6-7 2026 Prime Deal Days continue this flash-sale model, pressuring holiday promotions.
