Amazon has once again demonstrated its immense marketing prowess by concluding a highly successful Prime Day. The sales during this event were reported by the tech giant to have surpassed the combined total of the previous Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping periods in 2016.

Prime Day kicked off on Monday, offering a marathon 30-hour shopping experience that saw a remarkable sales increase of over 60% compared to the previous year. The event saw over 100,000 products on sale, creating a festive ‘Christmas in July’ shopping ambiance.

The immense success of Amazon’s Prime Day could be attributed to several factors. For starters, the event saw participation from Prime members across 13 countries, a significant increase in shopper demographics compared to the previous year. Another critical factor was the event’s duration, which was extended to 30 hours from the 24-hour timeline in 2016, offering shoppers more time to explore and purchase.

According to CNBC, Amazon noted that more new members joined Prime on July 11th than on any other day in the company’s history. To participate in the shopping extravaganza, shoppers needed to be Amazon Prime members, a membership that cost $10.99 per month or $99 annually.

Although Amazon has yet to release official revenue figures, it did confirm that “tens of millions of Prime members” participated in the event. Some of the most popular items included 50,000 TP-Link Smart Plugs, over 200,000 women’s dresses, and more than 3.5 million toys. In the realm of digital media, “Still House Lake” by Rachel Cain emerged as the most downloaded Kindle book, while “Something Just Like This” by The Chainsmokers and Coldplay dominated Amazon Music streams, as reported by USA Today.

With such impressive results, it’s clear Amazon excelled in attracting a large shopper base from around the globe. Amazon’s ability to pull off such a successful event underlines its position as a leading player in the global e-commerce field. Only time will tell whether the company can sustain this momentum and continue to break its own sales records in future shopping events.
