Prime Day is bringing our summer sales up
Prime Day sales not only help small businesses and entrepreneurs selling on Amazon increase profits during a historically slow time of year, but Prime Day also helps small businesses prepare for the upcoming holiday season.
Ben Arneberg, co-founder of Willow & Everett, said, “Overall, for the Prime Day event (all 30 hours), we saw about 20 times more overall sales. This is a huge benefit to our business, as it gives us exposure to thousands of new customers, and helps us with cash flow as we ramp up on inventory for the Holiday Season.”
