Amazon Prime Day 2025 is confirmed for Monday, July 8 through Thursday, July 11—making it a four-day event that’s expected to generate record-breaking sales yet again.
Whether you’re a seasoned seller or preparing for your first Prime Day push, now’s the time to finalize your strategy. In this post, we’ll cover the confirmed Prime Day 2025 dates, trends shaping the event, and actionable tips to help your brand make the most of the moment.
📅 Confirmed Dates:
Monday, July 8 – Thursday, July 11, 2025
Amazon has expanded Prime Day into a full four-day event for the second year in a row. This extended format gives sellers more runway to generate revenue, reach new shoppers, and optimize campaigns in real time. Stay tuned to Amazon Newsroom for the latest news.
💡 Tip: The most successful brands begin planning at least 60 days in advance.
Despite more shopping holidays popping up—Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Fall Prime Events—Prime Day remains Amazon’s highest-traffic event of the year.
Here’s why it’s still a must-win moment:
Whether your goal is moving inventory, acquiring customers, or boosting organic rank, Prime Day gives brands rare leverage—if they plan correctly.
Staying ahead of the latest Prime Day trends can make the difference between modest results and massive success.
Consumers are researching earlier. According to Jungle Scout, nearly 35% of shoppers browse deals 1–2 weeks before Prime Day, and many wait to buy until they see how prices shake out.
🔍 Brand takeaway: Start your Amazon Ads early and invest in awareness campaigns (Sponsored Brands + DSP) well ahead of the event.
Over 70% of Prime Day traffic now comes from mobile devices. If your listings, A+ content, or Storefronts aren’t mobile-optimized, you’re leaving money on the table.
📱 Brand takeaway: Audit your mobile experience, compress image files, and ensure bullet points and images are scannable on phones.
Flash deals and exclusive product drops saw huge success last year. Shoppers want urgency and value.
🎁 Brand takeaway: Leverage bundles, Lightning Deals, and Prime Exclusive Discounts to boost cart size and rank velocity.
Brands are increasingly using Amazon DSP, Meta Ads, and TikTok to drive high-intent traffic directly to Amazon listings. This not only increases Prime Day conversions but also improves long-term rank.
📣 Brand takeaway: Think beyond Amazon Ads. Use your owned channels to boost relevance, clicks, and organic lift.
Top-performing brands are treating their Amazon Storefronts like DTC landing pages—complete with campaign themes, video, and curated collections.
🛒 Brand takeaway: Update your Storefront with Prime Day messaging, “Staff Picks,” and “Limited-Time Deals” sections before the rush.
To get ahead, here are some rough timelines to follow:
Phase | Timeline | What to Do |
---|---|---|
📊 Strategy Planning | By mid-May | Define goals, identify hero products, align teams |
📦 Inventory Forecasting | By early June | Finalize FBA shipments (Amazon’s deadline is usually mid-June) |
🛍️ Listing Optimization | Late May–early June | Update images, bullet points, A+ content |
📣 Ads & Traffic Campaigns | Start by June 21 | Launch Sponsored Brands, DSP, and influencer seeding |
🔄 Storefront Updates | At least 1 week before | Submit changes for approval in time |
🕵️ Post-Event Analysis | Late July | Review metrics, attribution, rank lift |
Not every brand should go all-in on Prime Day. But if you’re sitting on high-converting products, seasonally aligned SKUs, or want to grow new-to-brand sales, it’s a no-brainer.
