Mark Preston

As Amazon officially announced that its annual Prime Day shopping event will take place from the 21st-22nd June 2021, there is great excitement from Amazon customers about the bargains that will be available.  Amazon Prime Day will feature hundreds of discounted products, with up to 70% discount off a wide range of products from electronics, to kitchen accessories, camping equipment, and fashion. 

For consumers, Amazon Prime Day is hotly anticipated as it is a great opportunity to grab some bargains.  Last year, Amazon Prime Day took place in October due to the pandemic but for this year Amazon has confirmed that the Prime Day will take place in June from the 21-22nd.  For Amazon Prime customers, this means the biggest online shopping event of the year is only a few weeks away!

Every year, Amazon Prime Day offers Amazon Prime members the chance to buy products with massive savings.  

Let’s have a look at the main benefits of Amazon Prime and some of the best discounted products you will find.

Amazon Prime Day 2021

What happens on Amazon Prime Day?  Well, it is similar to Black Friday where all Amazon Prime members have access to exclusive online discounts across the site. For small businesses, the Amazon Prime Day for 2020 was massively successful.  Last year Amazon offered over 1 million deals online to Amazon Prime customers.  This year, Amazon is expected to offer 2 million deals on Amazon Prime Day. The annual flash sale is only for Amazon customers who have Prime membership.  

If you want to take advantage of any of the offers on Amazon Prime Day then you must ensure that you sign up to become an Amazon Prime member before Amazon Prime Day. 

For existing members, the Amazon Prime Day discounts will be available from June 21st automatically. Although Amazon Prime Day lasts 48 hours, some of the deals do run out quickly, so make sure you check Amazon early to grab the best deals as quite often the deals last for as long as the stock is available.  Any ‘lightning offers’ tend to go very quickly so keep checking the site for deals on the day.

The difference between Amazon Prime Day 2020 and 2021 is that this year Amazon will be a greater number of deals from small and medium-sized businesses.  One top tip for those looking to grab some great deals during Amazon Prime Day is to ensure that your notifications are switched on your phone so that if any products on your watch-list are discounted then you will be notified.

Alongside discounted products across the site, Amazon Prime Day 2021 will also be donating money to its online charity initiative called Amazon Smile.  Amazon has confirmed that 5% of Amazon Prime customer’s first purchase will be donated to their charity.  

How you can get the best deals?

It is important to prepare ahead of Amazon Prime Day.  If there are any items you have your eye on then add them to your watch-list in readiness for Amazon Prime Day.  Place items you want in your basket now so you are prepared once the discounts hit. 

If you have the Amazon app this can speed things up even more, making sure you do not miss out on any deals. 

Although Amazon has not released the discounts that will be available on Amazon Prime Day, here are some products in categories that are likely to be discounted.
