Amazon Prime Day 2021 to Begin on July 11th
Amazon has confirmed the schedule for its upcoming yearly shopping extravaganza. Prime Day 2023 is set to take place on July 11th and 12th, with the event commencing at 12AM PT/3AM ET on Tuesday, July 11th and concluding at the end of the day on Wednesday, July 12th. As in previous years, the two-day event will offer Prime members the opportunity to take advantage of discounts on a wide range of products, including electronics, fashion, and Amazon’s own devices.
Over the past couple of years, Prime Day has been seen at different times of the year, mostly due to the effects of COVID-19. In 2020, Amazon had to postpone Prime Day until October, and it recovered slightly in 2021 when Prime Day was held in June. Last year, Amazon went completely back to its roots by holding its prime shopping event in July, though it added a second Prime Day in October ahead of the holiday shopping season.
In addition to driving a large amount of sales in a short period of time, Prime Day has always been a way for Amazon to increase the number of subscribers to its subscription service. Prime Day isn’t necessarily a Prime perk like access to Prime Video content or free two-day shipping, but it sure helps that most of the deals you’ll find on Amazon during the two-day event are exclusively available to Prime members. However, that doesn’t change the fact that the cost of Prime has risen quite a bit since its launch in 2005 and even over the past few years. An annual membership will cost you $139 right now, $20 more than the previous price.
If you’re looking to sign up for a Prime membership next month, you can turn to ReturnByte to find your month’s worth of Tech Deals during the two-day event. Unsurprisingly, Amazon Prime Day is one of the best times of the year to get Amazon devices, as most of them are likely to be at all-time low prices. However, we also expect valuable sales of headphones, robot vacuum cleaners, laptops, SSDs and much more.
