What is Prime Day?
Launched in 2015, Prime Day is a sitewide sales event on Amazon for Prime members only.

The event is officially scheduled to being at midnight PT on July 15 and run for 48 hours, making it the longest one to date. Prime Day started back in 2015 and was a 24-hour event that kicked off at 3am ET and brought new deals with it every 5 to 10 minutes.
Over the years, this has evolved and grown, and last year Amazon offered over a million deals over the course of a 36 hour period, and has promised to do the same during this year’s event.

These are done through an Alexa-enabled device like the Echo Dot, Fire TV, etc.
