Are Amazon Prime Day Deals Better Than Black Friday Deals
It's Amazon Prime Day, the one-day-only shopping event that Amazon hopes will match the frenzy surrounding Black Friday. But are the deals on offer better today?, Initial thoughts are for the most part, they are. That's the hope after the online retail hub announced that Prime Day would be "a global shopping event, with more deals than Black Friday." Deals are only on offer to Prime members, but the company's goal is to attract more potential Prime customers into their fold, and to establish another tentpole retail event. So far, the Prime Day discounts look better than those offered on Black Friday, according to BestBlackFriday.com. And that has surprised those who have been following Prime Day prices closely "When Amazon used the term Black Friday to describe Prime Day, we really thought it was just another marketing gimmick to get people excited," said Phil Dengler, founder of the BestBlackFriday site.
