It's time to celebrate Amazon's Birthday again!! Prime day started in 2015 as a celebration to Amazon turning 20, young for a company that is dominating the e-commerce industry. Last year over a 100 millions Prime Members around the world enjoyed the deals that lasted 36 hours. This year you can add an S to the end of PRIME DAY(S) because its going to last 48 HOURS, 48 HOURS! (insert Oprah screaming with a microphone GIF).
This year Prime Day is kicking off early, you can already snag some deals on Amazon. If you didn't catch the Prime Concert last night, where T-Shift told everyone to Calm Down, you can still watch it on Prime Video for a little while longer. The 48 Hour palooza will start Monday July 15th at midnight and run until the end of the day on July 16th. Smart home devices including echos and kindles will be on sale, along with many other electronic devices. If you have or know anyone who is in high school/college there will be some major deals (at least 30% off) for back to school items.
If you are not a Prime member, don't worry its not too late to join! You can start your free 30 day trial now and then its $119/per year. I know it seems like a stiff price to pay but if you shop even semi-regularly on Amazon the amount of $$ you will save on shipping is worth joining. If you are a student you get the first 6 months free and then a discounted rate. You just have to have a student email address!
Marknology will be keeping everyone up to date on the Prime Day via Instagram, so stay tuned in!
Thats all the tea for now!
