Ahead of the peak shopping season, Amazon is gearing up for its highly anticipated Prime Big Deal Days 2024, a shopping event that offers attractive discounts for Prime members. Amazon is yet to confirm the exact dates, but last year's event took place on October 10-11. Sellers can expect a similar mid-October schedule also for this year. In a recent Seller Central post, Amazon advises sellers to submit Prime exclusive discounts at the earliest to avoid last-minute hassle.

What Are Prime Big Deal Days?
Prime Big Deal Days is a limited-time shopping extravaganza designed exclusively for Amazon Prime members. The event features substantial discounts on a wide range of products, including:
Fashion and Beauty: Expect markdowns on clothing, accessories, and beauty products.
Home Goods: Discounts on kitchenware, home decor, and essential appliances.
Tech Devices: Major savings on popular electronics, including Amazon's own devices like Kindle and Echo.

This event is Amazon's second Prime Day of the year, aimed at maximizing sales and enhancing customer engagement ahead of the holiday rush.


Overview of Prime Exclusive Discounts
One of the key features of the Prime Big Deal Days is the Prime Exclusive Discounts program. This allows sellers to offer special discounts on their products specifically for Prime members. Here are the essential details:
Discount Structure and Eligibility
Discount Range: Discounts must be between 20% and 80% off the regular price for non-Prime members.
Product Eligibility: Sellers can submit discounts on individual products or sets of products. For Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) offers, the products must be eligible for Prime shipping in all regions within the country.
Submission Process: Sellers can set up Prime Exclusive Discounts through Seller Central by navigating to the Advertising tab and selecting Prime Exclusive Discounts. Submitting these discounts well in advance is crucial, as Amazon retains the right to cancel or reschedule promotions.
Approval Timeline: If a promotion is not approved within seven days, Amazon will automatically cancel it.
