Amazon Prime Day is one of the biggest shopping events of the year, and 2023 is no exception. The two-day sale is expected to take place in mid-July, over two days.
Here’s everything you need to know about Amazon Prime Day 2023.
Prime members can score low prices on products across all categories including electronics, homewares, Amazon devices, everyday essentials, beauty, video games, toys, sports equipment and more. New deals will drop throughout the event, with discounts on top products from much-loved brands and more deals than last year’s event from Amazon’s selling partners, many of which are small and medium-sized businesses.
Amazon Prime Day couldn’t come at a better time for Australian shoppers, as research commissioned by Amazon reveals that 89% of surveyed Aussies are still treating themselves to discretionary items, with 45% saying that they wait for products to go on sale to do so.
There’s no doubt that Aussies are on the hunt for a good deal with one in three (32%) respondents saying they are more focused on bargain hunting now due to the cost-of-living situation and one in five (20%) purchasing discretionary items during key calendar sales periods.
Prime Day has saved Australian members millions of dollars over the years and we look forward to offering them huge savings again this year. Aussies are looking for value, whether that be on the everyday essentials or on something for themselves, and we are proud to bring them discounts on a huge range of brands and products this Prime Day.
