So… What Made This Prime Day Different?
Let’s start with the obvious:
- $24.1 billion in sales — up significantly from last year.
- Back-to-school tech exploded by 90%.
- Kids’ apparel? Up 250%.
- Home, kitchen, and fitness products all saw major lifts.
But it wasn’t just the numbers — it was how people shopped and how brands showed up that made the difference.
AI Took the Wheel — and Drove Traffic
Amazon rolled out AI-generated deal recommendations, and shoppers responded in a big way.
Usage of Gen AI-powered discovery tools jumped 3,300% over last year. That’s not a typo.
Brands with optimized listings and strong reviews were rewarded with more visibility. If your PDP wasn’t polished, chances are you didn’t show up where it mattered.
Lesson learned: Listing optimization isn’t optional anymore — it’s your ticket to being seen in an AI-powered marketplace.
Urgency + Creativity = Conversion
From new countdown-style deal badges to multi-category deal placements, Amazon turned up the heat on urgency. And brands got more creative than ever with their storefronts — adding bold banners, sticky savings callouts, and short-term CTAs that got clicks.
