Prime Day is back for 2024, with hundreds of thousands of products set to be discounted across six entire days. From 16 July at 00:01AM AEST through to 21 July, Prime Members will be able to score low prices across all categories including electronics, home and kitchen wares, Amazon devices, everyday essentials, beauty, video games, books, toys, clothes and shoes and more.
The Shopping Event arrives at the perfect time for those looking to make their money go further, with new research commissioned by Amazon Australia showing that many Australians are planning to buy Christmas gifts earlier than usual to cut costs. Remarkably, over 70% of Australians who will be buying Christmas presents this year said they would purchase them in July if substantial discounts were offered.
Research commissioned by Amazon Australia also shows four in five (84%) Australians say they wait for items to go on sale before making a purchase, with clothing, tech, and appliances being the most common items they hold out for. Prime Day also coincides perfectly with the mid-year tax return period, as two-thirds of Aussie shoppers are waiting for their tax refund to arrive before spending.
Running craze has accessories in high demand
Forget swiping right, run clubs may have become the new dating apps with Australians lacing up their shoes in huge numbers. From running vests and belts to activewear and blister-proof socks, there’s a wide range of items available to support joggers, no matter the experience level.
When it comes to cosmetics, Australians are K-beauty obsessed
Korean beauty products are all the rage. #Kbeauty has a cult-like following on social media, especially with younger Australians. There will be great savings to be had across Amazon’s vast K-beauty range come Prime Day, so pucker up and prepare to glow!
Forget dining out, it’s all about at-home entertaining
With cost of living hitting hard, many Australians are choosing to entertain at home rather than dining out, and it appears we’re rediscovering our kitchens because of it. Airfryers, slow cookers, table cloths, place mats, even cook book have become popular on Amazon.com.au. Keep an eye out for items which make entertaining easier this Prime Day.
Craft kits and DIY projects are more popular than ever
Craft-Tok has many of us rediscovering our artistic flair. Whether it’s tufting, crochet, candle-making or paint-by-numbers, Amazon has fantastic DIY kits for every budding craft whiz. Come Prime Day, artistic Aussies can expect to see savings across craft supplies, kits and art accessories.
Saving on everyday essentials has become a national sport
With the weekly grocery shop becoming more costly, Australians are being savvy when it comes to saving on everyday essentials, with many turning to Amazon for essential items which can be delivered straight to your door. Come Prime Day, several items will be heavily discounted making it easier to save on everything from toilet paper to coffee pods, pet food, cleaning products, protein powder and much, much more.
