Amazon’s 2022 deal event is scheduled on July 12-13, 2022, exclusively for Prime members, featuring two days of epic deals on top brands and small businesses.

What is Prime Day?

In 2015, Prime day was a one-day retail holiday for the prime members of Amazon. After the launch of Prime day, it has become the biggest shopping event replacing Black Friday and Cyber Monday on Amazon. Prime day offers thousands of products in all categories, and you can avail each and everything on the best deals.

Preparing for the Prime Day 2022
The Amazon sellers must prepare for this mega event because the date is not too far. Some tips must be kept in mind while preparing for Prime day.
Make sure you have Enough Inventory
The worst thing to happen with an Amazon seller is running out of stock. Double-check and ensure your inventory is up to the level for the mega shopping event. There are no predictions about the increase in demand, and the orders may increase many folds than the previous year. It would be best if you had enough inventory to take full advantage of these profitable days.
Advertising & Marketing
With the increase in buyers, the sellers must take extra steps to make their product stand out from the crowd and reach the buyers. As the number of searches for each keyword will be increased many folds, sellers should consider marketing strategies to boost their sales.
- Advertise your products before and on Prime day with a big advertising budget.
- Research well and put the best converting keywords for your products to increase your chances of reaching the buyers.
- Don’t only stick to Amazon. Sellers should advertise their products and listings on other well-known platforms and social media spaces to get the maximum benefit.
Optimize Listings to Maximize Sales
After the inventory management, marketing, and advertising, this is the best time to focus on your product listings and make them perfect. Put much effort into upgrading and improving your listings. Look at the pricing and catalog and check if you can do anything to boost your conversion rate. Make sure your product listings have the best prices to convert every click into a sale.
Improvise your Order Fulfillment Scenario
Prime day will be busy, and the sellers can’t fulfill all their orders by themselves. Don’t commit such a type of mistake; prepare to get your order fulfilled quickly and efficiently. Hire extra workers and ensure you can handle and fulfill orders even if they are thousands in numbers.
