What Is The Prime Day Spike?
Prime day is one of the biggest shopping holidays on the planet and the deals that Amazon and it’s sellers provide can offer real values to customers. So why does Amazon and it’s independent sellers offer such incredible deals on Prime Day?
We think it’s because of the massive wave of traffic caused by Prime Day known ad the “Prime Day Spike.” The Prime Day spike offers a huge influx of traffic on both Prime Day and the days leading up to Prime Day that Amazon and it’s sellers can discount their goods to offer amazing deals because of the large volume of buyers searching for deals.
Unlike other shopping holidays throughout the year where thousands of merchants are all competing for your attention, on Prime Day, there is only one merchant who has the whole worlds attention, Amazon.
