History

Historical Context

Amazon launched its first Prime Day on July 15 2015 to mark its 20th anniversary, promising more deals than Black Friday. The event sparked criticism and a counter-promotion from Walmart, while Prime’s membership surged by 3 million in December 2015 and reached 200 million worldwide by 2021, prompting rivals to roll out similar subscription services.
