‍Prime Day has become a highly anticipated event for consumers and brands alike. This annual shopping extravaganza presents a unique opportunity for brands to tap into the buzz and maximize their revenue. Here’s how our experts are doing it:

Build Anticipation with Pre-Prime Day Campaigns

Amazon announced their Prime Day will be 7/16 – 7/17 this year. As consumers gear up to spend, Prime Day presents an excellent opportunity to incorporate an additional sale or exclusive offer. Start building anticipation by sending enticing emails and SMS messages ahead of Prime Day. Tease customers with glimpses of the exclusive offers and discounts they can expect. Encourage them to opt-in for SMS updates to stay in the loop and be the first to know about the exciting promotions coming their way. Adina Eden told subscribers to prep their carts in advance of the sale.

Harness the Power of Lightning Deals

“Lightning Deals” are time-limited promotions offered exclusively to Prime members. By strategically aligning your brand’s messaging with this feature, you can create a sense of urgency and scarcity that motivates customers to make a purchase. Here’s how Choice Home Warranty tied their limited time mystery deal to Prime Day.

Create Exclusive Prime Day Bundles

The allure of exclusive offers is a driving force behind Prime Day’s success. Bundle related products together and offer them at a discounted price, emphasizing the limited-time availability of these exclusive packages. This approach increases the perceived value for consumers, encourages cross-selling, and boosts average order values. Baby Brezza created an exclusive deal and hinted at the event by using “Prime” in their second header.

Personalization: Tailor the Experience

Your customers crave tailored experiences that make them feel valued and understood. Leverage your data to segment subscribers and craft customized messaging. Send targeted emails based on past purchase behavior, preferences, or browsing history. By offering personalized recommendations and deals, you’ll create a sense of connection and increase their engagement and conversion rates. Pro Compression offered a VIP exclusive access deal and renamed it “Pro Day” to leverage the holiday for their own customers.

Exclusive Offers for Email and SMS Subscribers

Reward your loyal subscribers by granting them exclusive access to Prime Day offers. Make them feel like VIPs by providing unique coupon codes or early access to select products. Highlight the value they receive by being part of your email or SMS list. The sense of exclusivity will motivate them to take advantage of the special benefits you’ve prepared, ultimately driving up your sales during Prime Day. Dr. Scholl’s offered a Prime Day sale featuring a “friends and family” deal to subscribers only.

Prioritize Direct Purchases for Greater Benefits

While Prime Day heavily revolves around Amazon, capturing direct sales on your website can significantly boost your profit margins. Here’s why and how to keep customers shopping directly with you:

• Highlighting Direct Purchase Benefits, Offer Exclusive Direct Deals
• Streamline the Shopping Experience
• Use Strong Call-to-Actions
• Customer Testimonials and Success Stories

By integrating these strategies, you can leverage Prime Day to not only capitalize on the general shopping excitement but also to enhance the profitability and customer loyalty by encouraging purchases directly from your platform. This not only helps in maintaining control over the customer experience but also in maximizing your margins.

As Prime Day approaches, it’s time to harness the power of your customer data to create a compelling customer experience that maximizes your sales potential. Alchemy Worx experts are here to help you get started with a free analysis.
