Prime Day Delivered Two Biggest Days Ever for Small, Medium-Sized Businesses
Prime Day 2021 was the biggest two-day period ever for Amazon’s third party sellers, nearly all of which are small and medium-sized businesses, growing even more than Amazon’s retail business. Prime members in 20 countries shopped more this Prime Day than any previous Prime Day and scored deep discounts across home, fashion, beauty, and electronics. Members purchased more than 250 million items worldwide and saved more than any Prime Day before.

“A huge thank you to all of the Amazon teams who made this Prime Day possible for members worldwide and to Prime members who supported small businesses in big ways,” said Dave Clark, CEO of Worldwide Consumer. “Prime members are an important part of our Amazon family, and we love to celebrate them during Prime Day with incredible deals and entertainment, including this year’s Prime Day Show.”
 
Wayfair Co-Founder Says 3D Technology Can Help Grow Online Home Goods Sales
CNBC.com reports that Wayfair expects advancements in 3D technology to improve the customer experience and bring more shoppers online, chipping away at brick-and-mortar sales. This is largely why the online home goods retailer continues to experiment and invest in technologies such as augmented reality and virtual reality, which can make it easier for potential customers to visualize products in their homes.

“AR/VR is certainly a space we’ve been playing with for quite a while now, and we do believe that over time it can have a meaningful impact in terms of making it easier to shop for your home from your home,” said Steven Conine, co-founder and co-chairman of Wayfair, at the Jefferies Virtual Consumer Conference on Tuesday.
