Amazon Prime Day is almost here, starting at 12am AEDT on October 13th (Tuesday). Ahead of the massive 66 hours of savings, we can reveal some of the savings on offer and as you would expect, technology features heavily.
Prime Day 2020 delivers Australian Prime members more deals than any previous Prime Day event with exclusive access to tens of thousands of products at discounted prices from both big brands and small local businesses.
To support local Australian businesses as the Holiday season kicks off, Amazon Australia has also launched their ‘Shop Local’ store featuring products from hundreds of Australian small businesses, and new curated collections to connect customers with local brands, including Sydney based Zenify and Gold Coast-based Scenic Brew.
Customers can access the Shop Local store on Amazon.com.au/shoplocal
“It isn’t long until Prime Day begins and we are thrilled to be able to share some of the great deals that will be available to Prime members in Australia this year. With huge savings across the store, we hope that there will be something for everyone.
We are also proud to put small Aussie businesses front and centre through our ‘Shop Local’ store in the run up to one of our busiest shopping events and beyond.”
Matt Furlong, Country Manager for Amazon Australia
Deals will be available across all categories including Amazon devices, consumer electronics, pantry food and drink, toys, fashion, beauty and more.
“Amazon’s Prime Day is such an important moment of the year for us as a small business. Prime Day gives us the opportunity to offer Prime members some amazing deals and historically it’s been one of our biggest days of sales for the whole year.
We’re really excited that Amazon Australia has put small businesses at the heart of this year’s Prime Day through their Shop Local store, as we know our customers are increasingly interested in shopping from Aussie businesses.”
Andonis Sakatis, founder of Zenify.
