Prime Day: Amazon launches one-day global sale to rival Black Friday

Amazon will offer its Prime members thousands of exclusive deals in a promotional event to rival Black Friday – the biggest day in the commerce calendar.

Amazon will offer its Prime members thousands of exclusive deals in a promotional event to rival Black Friday – the biggest day in the commerce calendar.

Bringing the festive furore to July, Prime Day will launch next week (15 July), giving Prime members in the UK, Spain, Japan, Italy, Germany, France, Canada and Austria access to unlimited, fast, free delivery on certain items.

The company said that when it turns 20 years old on July 15, Prime members “will find deals starting at midnight, with new deals starting as often as every ten minutes.”

In the UK, Amazon customers will be able to join Prime before 8 July for £59 for the first year as part of the promotion.

Users are also being invited to submit pictures of moments that best portray how Prime has benefited them – users sharing pictures between 6 and 15 July could scoop $100,000 to spend on Amazon.co.uk.

Snaps should be shared on Amazon’s social channels with the #PrimeLiving hashtag – one winner will be selected from each country.

The move represents the ecommerce giants’ mission to convert more of its customers into paid-up members in a bid to generate profit.
