After being delayed various times throughout the year due to COVID, Amazon has finally announced the 2020 dates for <\/span>Prime Day<\/span><\/a>. Amazon sellers can expect the event to run <\/span>October 13 and 14<\/span><\/a>. This means they have a little more than a week to prepare for the shopping extravaganza.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For sellers, this can create a dilemma. Not only do you need to know the ins and outs of this year\u2019s Prime Day and potentially begin marketing, but you also have to find out where it fits in your holiday strategy. Will you be able to juggle Prime Day, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Christmas?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n And if you do decide to participate in Prime Day, what are some quick steps you can take to make it a success?<\/span><\/p>\n In this article, we\u2019ll cover everything you need to know about the upcoming Prime Day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Aside from the dates, Prime Day will be available for any Prime member during the two day period. Regular Amazon policies apply, although the <\/span>holiday restrictions<\/span><\/a> for their Toys and Games category will apply to the event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you want to sell in Toys and Games for the rest of the year, you\u2019ll need to pass Amazon\u2019s strict eligibility requirements:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n That said, there are <\/span>no other special restrictions related to Prime Day<\/b> during the period.<\/span><\/p>\n Despite this, you will want to consider Amazon\u2019s earlier holiday announcement related to <\/span>warehouse storage restrictions<\/span><\/a>. This could be a good time to clear your warehouse of stale products so you can stock up on holiday favorites.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The big concern for sellers is how participating (or not participating) may affect their overall holiday season. Prime Day is now only weeks away from Black Friday and Cyber Monday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For sellers, this can mean rapidly deleting inventory, further segmenting their marketing budget, and interrupting their supplier schedule.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ultimately, you\u2019ll need to understand if Prime Day makes sense for your business model. Will you be able to restock in time for Black Friday and the Christmas shopping rush in December? One thing to consider is reach. Prime Day is open to its <\/span>150 million customer base<\/span><\/a>, plus anyone who signs up for a free trial during that time. The other holidays, meanwhile, are open for everyone. If you haven\u2019t had many orders from prime customers in the past, or if you don\u2019t have access to either<\/span> FBA or Sell-Fulfilled Prime benefits,<\/span><\/a> it may not be worth the hassle to ramp up your sales on Amazon in October.<\/span><\/p>\n That said, if you do decide to participate in Prime Day, or increase your sales on other platforms during the same period, you need to be strategic. Make sure to communicate with your suppliers and ensure that you can quickly restock inventory for November, and look for cost-effective methods of marketing to reduce diluting your marketing budget.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nWhat do Sellers need to know for Prime Day 2020?<\/span><\/h2>\n
