Amazon Prime Day to Return Next Year, Records SHATTERED
Quote:
Amazon Prime Day may become an annual event after it broke the retailer's own records for sales and Prime member gains in a single day, the company announced today.
"Going into this, we weren't sure whether Prime Day would be a one-time thing or if it would become an annual event," said Greg Greeley, VP-Amazon Prime, in a statement. "After yesterday's results, we'll definitely be doing this again."
During the promotional event -- held on July 15 in celebration of the e-tailer's 20th anniversary -- Amazon sold 34.4 million items worldwide, or 398 items per second, more than on any Black Friday.
More new members also tried Amazon's paid-subscription service, Prime, than on any single day in the program's 10-year history.
