Summer is shaping up to be especially exciting for online shoppers. Amazon has confirmed the return of its hugely popular Prime Day event, taking place from June 23 to 26. Over four days, Prime members will have access to hundreds of thousands of exclusive deals across a wide range of products, from tech and home essentials to fashion, beauty, and everyday must-haves.

Why Is Prime Day So Popular?

Over the years, Prime Day has become one of the biggest online shopping events of the year. Unlike traditional sales, which often focus on just a few product categories, Prime Day features discounts across more than 35 different categories.

This year, shoppers can once again take advantage of deals on popular brands such as Dyson, Ninja, Philips, LEGO, Shark, Levi’s, Adidas, and L’Oréal. Beauty and skincare brands, including Clarins, Bobbi Brown, Too Faced, and Youth To The People, will also be featured as part of the promotions.

Do You Need A Prime Membership?

Yes. Prime Day deals are exclusively available to Prime members.

Becoming an Amazon Prime member comes with a range of benefits, including free, unlimited shipping at Amazon’s fastest available delivery speeds. Members also get access to other Amazon services, such as Amazon Music and Prime Video, where they can stream Amazon Original series and more, all for $9.99 per month or $99 per year. The membership also includes Prime Reading, which gives users access to a regularly refreshed selection of books at no additional cost.

Eligible new users can also take advantage of a 30-day free trial. Students and young adults aged 19 to 24 may qualify for a discounted membership after an extended trial period.

How To Maximize Your Savings During Prime Day

As with any major sales event, a little preparation can go a long way. Here are a few simple strategies to help you make the most of Prime Day:

1. Create Your Shopping List In Advance

Before the deals go live, take a few minutes to identify the items you actually need. By adding them to your Amazon Wish List, you’ll be able to quickly spot which products are discounted as soon as the event begins.

2. Turn On Price Alerts

The Amazon app allows you to set notifications for specific products. This way, you’ll be alerted when an item you’re interested in goes on sale or becomes available as a lightning deal.

3. Think About Seasonal Purchases

Prime Day arrives at a strategic time of year. It’s the perfect opportunity to pick up items for summer vacations and Canada Day celebrations, or even get a head start on back-to-school shopping.

4. Compare Prices Before You Buy

While the discounts may look impressive, it’s still a good idea to compare prices with other retailers. Some products do reach their lowest prices of the year during Prime Day, but a quick comparison can help confirm that you’re truly getting a great deal.

A Chance To Support Canadian Brands

Beyond major international brands, Prime Day also shines a spotlight on a number of Canadian companies. Shoppers can discover products from brands such as Webber Naturals, Organika, and Nutrience through Amazon’s Canadian Showcase.

Deals Start Before The Official Kickoff

Among the announced offers are discounts of up to 50% on select Amazon devices, including products from Ring and Blink, as well as Alexa-compatible smart TVs.

Good news for bargain hunters: Amazon is already offering early deals on several popular products. Here are a few worth checking out.
