When is Prime Day? The shopping event of the summer is back.

Prime Day will last for 48 hours in 2022, and it will bring shopping deals to more than 200 million paid Prime members across the globe.¹ If last year is any indication, the event this year will be huge: Prime members purchased more than 250 million items worldwide during Prime Day 2021.²

Now is a great time to start setting up your ad strategies to reach customers as they start researching products and brands before Prime Day. In a recent Kantar survey, 71% of shoppers said they discovered new brands in the lead-up to Prime Day.³

As brands are thinking about their advertising strategy, “we recommend utilizing multiple ad solutions and spreading your investment throughout all phases of the Prime Day period,” said Awilda Hancock, the Global Industry Marketing Team Lead at Amazon Ads, about prepping for Prime Day. Amazon Ads offers brands products and advertising tips that can assist with Prime Day planning. Organizing your ad campaigns around Prime Day could pay off, since 68% of shoppers said they are likely or highly likely to make a purchase from an Amazon ad during Prime Day.⁴ Amazon Ads’ self-service products–Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display, and Amazon DSP—can help you reach customers as they shop for the best Prime Day deals.

The benefits don’t stop once Prime Day has passed, either. Even after the event concludes, 53% of shoppers said they’re likely or highly likely to repurchase again after Prime Day.⁵ So, it can be important to have your marketing strategy include post-event plans as you get ready for one of the biggest shopping events of the summer.
