The sale period comes at the perfect time for shoppers with new research commissioned by Amazon Australia showing that many Aussies are planning to buy Christmas gifts earlier than usual to cut costs.
Over 70 per cent of Australians who will be buying Christmas presents this year said they would purchase them in July if substantial discounts were offered.
The research also shows four in five (84 per cent) of Australians 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.
Customers who have not tried Prime can unlock a 30-day free trial at amazon.com.au/prime to participate in Amazon Prime Day and to unlock the many year-round benefits, including fast, free and convenient delivery on eligible orders.
Director of Amazon Prime across APAC Arno Lenior said: “We are thrilled to be bringing our longest ever Prime Day to Australia this year, giving shoppers more time to unlock great value.
“Aussies are savvier than ever when it comes to spending, with two in three waiting for marquee sales events to make big ticket purchases and we look forward to offering them incredible discounts. We encourage shoppers to start thinking about what they need or want and building out wishlists so that come Prime Day, they are ready.”
