Single 30000 +! Amazon Prime Day blew up
According to Momentum Commerce, which manages brands in 50 different product categories, sales in the first seven hours of Amazon Prime Day were up about 12 percent year-on-year. The company said early results point to a strong Prime Day performance, as sales during the 2023 event peaked in the first few hours.
With the great promotion heat gradually, the good news of the explosive single also came one after another, and even some sellers made a single 30,000 +, however, some Amazon sellers also gradually woke up from the carnival, and the profit seemed not to be as much as expected. Whether this year's Amazon Prime Day is a carnival for a group of people or a burst of orders for a few people, perhaps from the final situation of sellers can peek a little.

Out of a single 30,000 +, the seller likes to explode the single
According to the feedback of a number of sellers, most of the sellers in the Prime Day record is good this year, many sellers of the single increase several times, there are sellers on the first day of the promotion, the traffic is unexpectedly good, the single amount is 5-6 times the usual, it can be said that the big explosion single.
"This year's Prime Day was a good one, with overall sales three times higher than usual."
"The full blood is resurrected, the single dose has come."
"Yesterday a burst out more than a thousand singles, continue to rush today, this member sunrise unexpectedly good."
"There was no activity reported, but with the big promotion hot spot, naturally sales doubled."
"The inventory is dried out, and the goods are sold out directly!"
A seller told Hugo cross-border, this year was originally holding the idea of clearing inventory proposed Prime Day, thinking about how much can be out of how much, did not expect yesterday a day out of 2000 single, much better than expected, the overall count up to at least seven or eight times than usual explosion single, a sweep of the past downturn.
In the past half a year, the single volume malaise has become the pain of sellers, many sellers are counting on Prime Day to return to a wave, from the single volume of these two days, Prime Day does bring a shot in the arm to sellers, many sellers after experiencing a single explosion, have said that it is worth staying up all night.
Another seller said that Prime Day traffic this year is good, let him have to return to the beginning of the joy of Amazon, was worried about Amazon member day traffic will not be affected by other platforms, but did not expect a single amount in the big boost ushered in a surge, usually this point is not a single, refresh a few hundred single, so that he is more confident in the second half of the peak season.
There is also a senior seller said that a big guy who knew him before jumped into the top ten categories on Prime Day, and the single amount is as high as 10,000 +, another link is also a single 30,000 +, which is simply the carnival of the head seller, and it is worshiping.
Of course, whenever there is a big promotion, some people are happy and some people are sad, although many sellers said that the explosion, but there are also some sellers melancholy, still waiting for the last moment of the explosion.
A seller said that so far there are only dozens of more, this degree is not explosive single, because the advertising burns far more than the amount of explosive single, and, their products are hit fracture sales, profits are too low.
There are even sellers who feel that the single amount of members is less than usual, usually only half of the advertising at this time, and now the advertising is burned out, usually there are dozens of hundreds of single amounts, and the two days of the member's single is not as good as the usual day, and the price of the peer is lower than one, it is simply doing charity.

System error, advertising background crash
When it comes to big promotions, Amazon's system can always bring "small surprises" to sellers. In the early stage of the Great Promotion, the countdown of the front station of the United States showed an abnormal display, but fortunately, it finally returned to normal. However, many sellers said that after opening the promotion yesterday, they found that the filling system crashed, and the advertising system also crashed early this morning, and as expected, no matter how many members' days were held, the system crash was never absent.
"The first time I participated in the membership day, I did not expect to fall on the offer of discount, and the system reported a large area of errors, showing that the discount was not reported." There are not a few sellers in this kind of situation, the Amazon front desk does not show discounts, and the deal status is still about to be launched, it is clearly the time, has not been shown, and the price is not the price of the activity.
Many sellers also in the first time to check that there is no error, after opening the case, the customer service reply is a large area of error, many sellers have encountered this problem, patiently waiting for repair.
The breakdown of the advertising system is a frequent problem every year, and many sellers said that their advertising expenses were burned out after the big promotion was opened, and the cost of advertising this year is more. According to the seller, this morning the advertising system shows that it can not draw charts, and it can not refresh many times, the bidding can not be changed, and the exit can not be re-entered. "I don't know if the seller is making money, but Amazon is definitely making money."
Although the situation of Amazon Prime Day this year is constant, but fortunately the overall number of sellers is good. The two days of big promotion of single volume also let the sellers see hope, many sellers bluntly, this big promotion is like giving the seller a shot of adrenaline, so that the seller is full of confidence in the second half of the peak season.
According to Adobe's forecast, Amazon's two-day (7.16-7.17) Prime Day event sales could reach about $14 billion, a record high, which would be a 10.5% increase over 2023 Prime Day sales.
A senior seller said that the success of Prime Day directly determines the confidence of the team to prepare for the peak season in the second half of the year, although the company has also expanded other channels to create revenue, but the Amazon channel is still the biggest investment. He believes that the effect of Amazon's autumn membership day this year may also be better than before, and has been doing the overall planning of the year-end peak season.
