History

Historical Context

Amazon launched its first Prime Day on July 15 2015, marking the service’s 20-year anniversary and promising more deals than Black Friday. The following year it generated a 60 % increase in worldwide orders, prompting rivals such as Walmart to launch Walmart+ and cementing Prime Day as an annual retail fixture, contributing to Amazon’s 200 million Prime members by 2021.
