Amazon Prime Day 2018

Amazon Prime Day is one of the best sales each year for

those that love all things Amazon. The sale is open only

to Prime members, so if you have been thinking of

joining, now is the time! You can sign up for a

free 30 day trial as well that will get you through the

sale, but I think once you have it, you will find it hard to 

live without! Beyond access to this sale, members enjoy

free 2 day shipping, Prime video (think Netflicks 

competitor), Prime music, Prime reading, Prime

photos, and so much more. The membership is a

yearly fee, but you can cancel at any time.

It’s been announced that the sale will launch on July 16th

at 3pm EST through July 17th at 11:59 pm for 36 

hours. Last year there were also daily deals in the days

leading up to the sale as well to take advantage of! 

No one knows for sure what products will be included,

but it’s across the board in all categories, so there is 

something for everyone. Of course, there is a big push

for the purchases of Amazon products, so now is the 

time to buy electronics such as Echo, Kindle, Firetv, and

the new Fire TV Cube. If you are looking to turn 

your home into a smart home with Amazon products,

this is the sale to make it happen!

Here are our best tips to help you get the most of this
sale.

1) Follow us on Facebook to get up to date alerts on the

best sales this day has to offer!

2) Turn on 1 Click Purchases. It lets you click the item you want
to buy and the payment method is already 

linked, along with your shipping address. Update in your Amazon

account and click on “1-Click Settings” to set it up. Best
option to not miss out on deals that are selling fast!

3) Watch Lightening Deals. You may need to act fast on
sale items, if you see an upcoming deal, click “watch” and set an
alert so you are reminded when the deal goes live.
Lightening Deals are watchable only 24 hours ahead
and they launch as often as every 5 minutes.

4) Add the Amazon App to your phone. This makes it easy to
get notifications but enabling your watched and waitlisted deals

as mentioned above.

5) Ask Alexa! This year think about giving Alexa a try by asking
for Prime day deals. There may be additional savings
during the sale that are only available if you shop through Alexa.
This feature is available on Amazon devices.

Lastly, remember that Amazon Prime Day sales will help
drive down the competition. If you are not a Amazon
prime member and don’t wish to become one,
check out the deals still and shop

around, you may find a competitor has lowered their price as well.

Last year, this day prompted other retailers to offer 

discounts as well, especially free shipping.
