Net profit of 8.1 billion US dollars in three months, the date of Amazon Prime Day is finally set!

Amazon Prime Day will start in the second quarter

During this period, foreign media have reported on the date of Amazon Prime Day wave after wave, with speculations ranging from the end of June to mid-July, all of which are these two months.

Now, amid much anticipation, Amazon has finally announced the official opening of its global store ↓

Amazon 's Prime Day 2021 will officially start in the second quarter of this year.

We look forward to bringing even more great deals to Prime members, investing more in opportunities for sellers, and continuing to keep our employees safe.

However, many sellers are not convinced by the Prime Day date announced by Amazon Global Store , after all, the second quarter includes April, May and June.

Since it starts from the second quarter, which month will it be? April is about to end, will Prime Day finally fall in May or June?

In previous years, Amazon's Prime Day has always started in July, but this official announcement means that this year's membership day will indeed be brought forward.

Then it seems that the previous foreign media reports such as "this year's Prime Day may be held at the end of June" and "Amazon may hold two Prime Days this year" are true.

Amazon Global Selling stated that Amazon currently has more than 200 million Prime members worldwide , and Amazon's Prime Day in 2020 helped global members save more than US$1.4 billion.

During Prime Day 2020, third-party sellers worldwide generated sales of more than $3.5 billion in 19 countries, a 60% increase compared to 2019.

Judging from the above data, there is a reason why this year's Prime Day has attracted so much attention. After the membership day is over, the sales data is expected to be eye-catching.

Amazon's first quarter sales reach $108.5 billion

After the Prime Day time was announced, Amazon’s strong first quarter 2021 financial performance also attracted everyone’s attention.

The Wall Street Journal said Amazon 's success over the past year has catapulted it to new heights after consumers flocked to online shopping due to pandemic lockdowns .

Amazon achieved record quarterly profit, mainly due to continued strong demand for its delivery , cloud computing and advertising businesses .

Amazon said its strong performance in the first quarter will continue in the second quarter, and it expects sales from April to June to reach between $110 billion and $116 billion, which will mark the third consecutive quarter that Amazon's revenue has exceeded $100 billion.

Moreover, Prime Day, which will be held in the second quarter, is bound to bring a more objective sales growth trend for Amazon.
