Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Amazon’s Made-Up Holiday – Prime Day Explained”.
If there’s one thing we loved as a modern society, its pizza delivery, but if I had to pick something else, it’s got to be shopping holidays. Now, of course, there are commercial elements to existing holidays like the way Rudolph. The Red Nosed Reindeer was created by an American department, store meant to help, sell more children’s books or the way that candy manufacturers cash in every February of the 14th. But Christmas and actually even Valentine’s Day, already existed and were not created by their respective industries, contrary to some fairly popular myths. But obviously we do already have at least one day on the calendar, whose primary purpose is a shameless celebration of spending money on trinkets Black Friday, which is celebrated every year.
The day after US, Thanksgiving actually arose somewhat organically as a busy shopping day, since it followed a holiday that many American workers already had off only about a month before Christmas. Now, although a popular explanation is that the day is called Black Friday, because the boost in sales would push retailers into the black, the term actually arose all the way back in the 1950s from police officers describing a black day where they had to deal with additional Crowds, congestion and traffic and seeing is how we’ve celebrated Black Friday for many years, with a positive Bacchanalia of fistfights in the corridors of a shopping mall near you, along with other card giving holidays of questionable origin like national bosses day, seems pretty good to me, though. It probably shouldn’t come as a surprise that the powers that be over at Emma’s on saw that and went well what the hell, let’s just create our own holiday and thusly Prime Day, was born back in 2015. Now, in case, you have better things to do with your summer, then sit inside and shop online prime day is now actually a two-day event, because why not, I guess, with lots of special discounts for Prime members, not only our prospective customers drawn in with promises of Great deals, but Amazon tries to keep people locked onto their screens for as long as possible by offering new deals every five minutes now from a business standpoint, Amazon hyping up their own made-up holiday has paid off big time from the start.
On the first ever Prime day, Amazon sales actually outstripped its sales from the previous Black Friday, with nearly 400 orders being placed every second, but from a more purely tech perspective. This is a tech channel. After all, Amazon has also used the immense popularity of this holiday to heavily push its own gadgets, such as the echo dot, which was the most popular item on prime day in 2017. This has substantially aided Amazon’s efforts to extend its spy.
Never excuse me, I mean make life more convenient for its customers and, as Amazon’s tentacles have wrapped themselves around more and more industries. Prime day has grown accordingly. Prime Day 2018 featured an entire week of special deals at Whole.
Foods which is now owned by Amazon and also saw the site, sell more than 100 million different products in total, amounting to nearly 4 billion dollars in sales. Clearly enough to cover Taylor Swift’s fee for the prime date concert that Amazon put on this year. So if you want to dive into this mad frenzy of capitalism, what should you keep in mind? Well, first up, if you’re, not a Prime member you’ll need a subscription, but a lot of people assume that you have to pay a hundred and nineteen dollars for a year-long membership to take advantage of the deals.
In fact, you can pay just $ 12.99 for a one month. Membership then cancel it the next month, rather than wiping out the savings with a triple digit hit to your bank account. Also before you even do that. Remember that, even though a prime day deal might look, wonderful Amazon doesn’t always have the best prices even on prime day. So comparison shopping is still worth the effort, especially since other prominent retailers are now holding special sales on prime day itself to compete directly with Amazon. Now, admittedly, this can be difficult if you’re trying to beat the clock for a flash or lightning deal but shopping assistance like honey and camel camel camel can help out a lot.
Finally, if you do need to take advantage of a short-term sale and buy with one click, make sure you’ve got the payment info and address set as your default ahead of time, because you don’t want to get an incredible deal on a snowboard just to have it Shipped to your old home in Miami, this video is brought to you by the drop X, n, Heiser, PC 37 X gaming headset.
