On the eve of Amazon’s 20th birthday, the
company introduces Prime Day, a global shopping event, with more
deals than Black Friday, exclusively for Prime members
(NASDAQ:AMZN) – More than 90 years ago, holiday shopping found
its official start the Friday after Thanksgiving, eventually
becoming Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year. Over
the years, Amazon has helped make Black Friday even more of a
global online shopping phenomenon. Next week, Amazon turns 20 and
on the eve of its birthday, the company introduces Prime Day, a
global shopping event, offering more deals than Black Friday,
exclusively for Prime members in the U.S., U.K., Spain, Japan,
Italy, Germany, France, Canada and Austria. On Wednesday, July 15,
new and existing members in the U.S. will find deals starting at
midnight, with new deals starting as often as every ten minutes.
They can shop thousands of Lightning Deals, seven popular Deals of
the Day and receive unlimited fast, free shipping. Not a Prime
member? To participate in Prime Day, Amazon customers can sign up
for a 30-day free trial of Prime at amazon.com/primeday.

“Prime Day is a one-day only event filled with more deals than
Black Friday, exclusively for Prime members around the globe.
Members tell us every day how much they love Prime and we will keep
making it better,” said Greg Greeley, Vice President Amazon Prime.
“If you’re not already a Prime member, you’ll want to join so you
don’t miss out on one of the biggest deals extravaganzas in the
world.”
Shop Prime Day Deals from Anywhere
Prime members can shop across dozens of categories including
electronics, toys, movies, clothing, patio, lawn and garden, sports
and outdoor items and more. Members will enjoy deals on items
perfect for summer adventures, their to-do list, family road trips,
back to school supplies, and everyday essentials. Prime members can
shop on any device, including smartphones and tablets and find
deals anytime, anywhere.
#PrimeLiving Photo Contest
Prime offers fast, free shipping on millions of items, unlimited
streaming of movies, TV shows, music and books as well as unlimited
secure photo storage with Prime Photos. Today, Amazon also invites
members to experience Prime Photos, one of the latest benefits and
enter for a chance to win a $10,000 Amazon Gift Card in each
Prime-eligible country, by participating in the #PrimeLiving Photo
Contest. What is #PrimeLiving? Members frequently reveal how much
they love Prime. Now, Amazon is providing members a forum to share
how Prime helps enable some of their happy moments. Did you save
enough time today to take the dog for a long walk? Did you finish
your shopping while lounging at the beach? Did you create a family
film festival at home? Did you find the perfect playlist to create
a summer dance party? After a long week of work, did you still
arrive in the perfect outfit with just the right gift? Take a snap,
capture the moment. Members simply sign into Prime Photos between
July 6 and July 15 to submit a photo on the contest page
amazon.com/primeliving. Photos will be selected and featured daily
on Amazon’s social channels leading up to Prime Day. One winner
will be selected in each country based on the image that most
creatively captures a happy moment of #PrimeLiving. Winners will
also be invited to have their photos become screen savers on Amazon
Fire TV.
Celebrating Prime Day
To launch the photo contest and celebrate Prime Day, local
artists were commissioned in Prime-eligible countries, with
locations ranging from Toronto to Milan to Seattle to Berlin, to
create their interpretations of #PrimeLiving. These artists fully
immersed themselves in Prime and then created public art that could
be enjoyed locally as well as used by customers as inspiration for
the #PrimeLiving Photo Contest. Find their work in an embeddable
link here.
