Things to Know for the 2018 Amazon Prime Day (Plus the Best Deals!) 

The annual internet-famous, global shopping event “Amazon Prime Day” is set to launch Monday, July 16 at 3 PM for 36-hours and we are counting down the minutes until its arrival! The sales holiday has become a staple in special shopping days over the past few years and the anticipative chatter surrounding the 2018 event has been growing louder as the date approaches - with whispers of deals like never before and the recent partnership with Whole Foods, we’re all eager to see what Amazon has up its sleeve. 

WHAT IS PRIME DAY?
While Amazon Prime members enjoy an abundance of perks all year round (movie rentals, streaming music, special deals, same day shipping, and Whole Foods discounts, to name a few), the shopping palooza is often the highlight of all Prime Member perks. The first sale began in 2015 as part of the company’s 20th birthday celebration and quickly became Black Friday's competitor. Although many sale perks have yet to be unveiled, the 2018 sale is projected to feature more than one-million deals worldwide and we can tell it's going to be a good one. As Amazon Shop owners ourselves, we're all about celebrating Prime Day well and today we’re sharing a few things to know in order to prep well and get in on all the goods while you can:

1) Shop at Whole Foods, Get $10
Prime Members who spend at least $10 at Whole Foods prior to Amazon Prime Day will earn a $10 Amazon Credit! Be sure to download the Whole Foods app and connect your Prime account, then scan at the check out to earn your credit.

2) Get $10 Off Whole Foods Prime Now
No desire to battle the summer heat for groceries? Prime members can test out Whole Food’s’ grocery delivery service, Prime Now, for $10 off anytime before July 17th (plus they’ll receive an extra $10 to apply to any future orders).

3) Save Big on the Amazon Echo

6) Deep Discounts on Movie Rentals

While many of the featured deals will surely be tied to Amazon directly, many of the private vendors and Amazon shop owners will be featuring specials of their own. We suggest checking in on your favorite Amazon vendors Monday to see if they’ve added anything unique… you never know what penny-savers you may stumble upon! While this weekend will surely reveal more tips, tricks, and upcoming Prime Day deals, we wanted to let our fellow online-shoppers know everything we’ve uncovered so far. We are advocates of web-based companies and love sharing all the nitty-gritty of the Internet’s greatest happenings!
