You may have heard recently that Amazon plans to kick off the holiday season with a Prime Early Access Sale event, basically Prime Day #2 starting at midnight on October 11 and ending on the 12th. This two-day event will feature savings on all the most popular brands like Apple and Nike, as well as Amazon’s lowest prices of the year on high-end names like Caudalie and Philips Sonicare. Only Amazon Prime members have access to these deals, adding even more appeal to the staggering value you get from the monthly subscription.
Your step-by-step guide to shopping success
Sign up for Prime
The first step: sign up for Prime to get access to this seasonal event. It’s a total no-brainer. For under fifteen dollars a month, Prime offers free shipping; live streaming football, movies, and shows; same-day shipping, grocery delivery, and so much more. In fact, savings on shipping costs alone will easily pay for the monthly cost. Once you have signed up, or if you’re already a Prime member, you can start planning out your strategy to get the most out of this two-day sale.
Set up alerts on your favorite items
New deals will appear throughout the event, so keep an eye on the Prime Early Access Sale page. Scout out some of the things you want most and set up deal alerts using the Prime Early Access Sale page on the Amazon app so that you’ll get push notifications when your favorite items go on sale. You can even set up Alexa to remind you up to 24 hours before items on your wish list go on sale. The most successful shoppers will create a comprehensive list with built-in alerts using the Amazon app.
Creating an organized list of the things you want helps you stay within budget while walking away without any buyer’s remorse. Amazon will feature hundreds of thousands of products on sale during this event, so it will be easy to get carried away without a defined budget and shopping list.
Shop around for the best deal
With so many great items on sale, it pays to take time to shop around and find the best deals among them. The new Top 100 list, a part of this new event, makes for a great place to start your search. It will contain one hundred of the season’s most popular products. Use tools provided by Amazon to compare prices on similar deals as well as thousands of customer reviews to help you make the best choice when shopping.
Consider Amazon Products
While Prime Day sales apply to a wide variety of brands, the best deals can often be found on Amazon brand products. Innovative tech like the Kindle and Echo will feature some of the best deals in the entire sale. Amazon also makes a whole line of home care essentials, making this two-day event the perfect time to upgrade gym equipment or stock up your kitchen with new pots and pans.
Happy Shopping!
Holiday shopping starts early this October for Amazon Prime members. It’s the perfect opportunity to pick up the products your whole family will get excited about without dealing with the chaos of the post-Thanksgiving shopping rush. Start making your shopping list now because this is a sale you won’t want to miss.
