Are you prepping your online wishlist? Perhaps you have your eye on a new computer, some wearable technology, or maybe that new appliance you have been holding out for? Good news! Great deals are on the way.
The days of wrestling your way through a crowd are becoming less common as online shopping – in particular – Amazon Prime Day takes on a greater importance in the sales cycle. So what can you do to cash in on some of those famous Prime Day Deals that you are hearing about?
First, let’s brush up on the basics of Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon launched the first Prime Day in 2015 to celebrate the company’s 20-year anniversary. The shopping day was so popular with consumers that Amazon decided to make it an annual event. In 2017, millions of Amazon Prime users purchased a whopping $2.41 billion worth of goods followed by approximately $4.19 billion in 2018. This year, as in years past, deals range across all product types from technology to clothing.
Here are a few pro tips to get you started:
It’s that simple. If you like to pre-shop the deals, Amazon is releasing a few key Prime Day deals in advance for shoppers to start creating their watch lists to snag the best prices. Amazon also allows you to set alerts through your account to inform you when your saved deals go live.
Deals this good require a lot of technology and people power. So what type of behind-the-scenes preparation occurs for one of the largest shopping days of the year for one of the largest retailers in the world?
The increasing demands of the customer for service and support are growing at exponential rates for most brands including Amazon. At Startek, we understand the preparation it takes to create and implement startegies to support such consumer-engagement heavy events like Prime Day. So how do brands prepare for big shopping events like Prime Day?
There are a lot of little tasks that go on behind the scenes to ensure every aspect of the operation is vigilantly cared for. This includes proper staffing, training, and having the right technology in place to support online purchases.
