Partnership Series: Amazon Prime Day Advertising Checklist

Amazon Prime Day is the online shopping event of the summer, and every year it picks up steam. Last year alone drove an impressive list of retail media stats: 


  • U.S. Prime members saved over $2.5 billion in 2023, more than any previous Prime Day event, and $0.8 billion more than 2022.
  • Worldwide Prime members purchased over 375MM items during the two day event.
  • Prime Day 2023 was the largest ever for independent sellers with more Prime Day deals on small business products than ever before.
  • Fashion and Beauty products joined the highest selling categories alongside Home and Consumer Electronics. 

The first day of Prime Day [2023] was the largest sales day in Amazon’s history, and Prime members saved more this year than any other Prime Day event.
