History

Historical Context

Amazon launched its first Prime Day on July 15 2015 to mark the service’s 20-year anniversary, promising more deals than Black Friday. The event’s success spurred rivals such as Walmart and Target to create their own discount weeks and led Amazon to add a fall “Prime Big Deal Days” sale in 2022. By 2021 Amazon’s Prime program counted 200 million members worldwide.
