Amazon Prime Day 2020: What to know, according to experts

“In addition to shopping on Amazon, [Prime members] can buy groceries from Whole Foods, listen to audiobooks with Audible, subscribe to Kindle Unlimited, watch Amazon Video and use Amazon Echo speakers,” Amanda Bourlier, head of global retailing research at Euromonitor International, told us previously.To help you make the most of Amazon Prime Day 2020, we consulted Michael Bonebright, a consumer analyst at DealNews.com, and Sara Skirboll, a shopping and trends expert at RetailMeNot, to better understand how the sale will look this year and what types of products you ought to consider.After its initial delay, shoppers were left wondering whether Amazon will be having a Prime Day sales event in 2020 given the coronavirus pandemic? During the sale, you’ll find a number of sales and deals on select items sitewide, including beauty products and various tech, from older generation Android phones to Amazon devices, which are traditionally heavily discounted during Amazon Prime Day. Throughout the sale, other retailers will also be offering competitive discounts, too, so Skirboll suggested shoppers spend a couple minutes looking at other sites for their favorite items as well.According to Bonebright, shoppers should approach this a little differently this year. Plus, Prime members can earn a $10 credit, to use on Prime Day, when they spend $10 at select small businesses from now until Oct. 12.To really take advantage of the sale, both Bonebright and Skirboll advised readers to download the mobile app which allows you to easily locate items using your device's camera, for easy shopping, as well as find items faster with Alexa. As NBC News Shopping previously reported, the onset of coronavirus, current economic downturn and other factors all contributed to the company’s decision to ultimately postpone its annual sales event.Since its inception, Amazon Prime Day has been largely anticipated by shoppers waiting to buy tech, small kitchen appliances and more.
