Amazon is turning 20 years old today. To celebrate, the company is hosting Prime Day, an online sales event that Amazon claims will surpass Black Friday in the volume of e-commerce on the site. The company is rolling out scores of deep deals all day. But there’s a catch: It’s for Amazon Prime members only.

Unsurprisingly, many of Amazon's own products will be discounted substantially. On Prime Day, shoppers will get $15 off the Fire TV Stick (normal price: $39), $30 off Kindles (normally from $79), and $60 off Fire HD 7s (from $139), and 60% off Amazon Elements Baby Wipes (use code ELEMENTS60).

So much for concerns that the second Prime Day event didn't live up to Amazon's expectations. The online retailer said Wednesday that the self-created holiday was its biggest sales day ever, with worldwide orders rising more than 60 percent compared with the previous Prime Day. In the U.S., orders rose by more than 50 percent.

The event, called Prime Day, is July 15, and is exclusive to Amazon Prime members. Shoppers subscribed to Prime will gain access to multiple deals on the site across several categories, said the company in a statement Monday. New deals start at midnight July 15, with additional deals popping up every 10 minutes.

Wednesday, July 15, will mark the first-ever Prime Day, a monumental sales event being hyped by Amazon as a bigger deal than Black Friday. Analysts think that one day we may look back and see how Prime Day inspired an entire new string of random manufactured shopping holidays.

Amazon Prime Day. Posted Jul 6, 2015 by Catherine Shu (@catherineshu) Black Friday, the annual shopping extravaganza which brought in more than $1.5 billion in online sales alone last November, is arguably the single most important day for retailers in the U.S. Now Amazon wants to steal its thunder with Prime Day.

If you’re a Prime member, there are some important details to know. Prime day starts at the stroke of midnight (Pacific Time) on July 15, but you don’t have to hop online at the wee hours to score the good deals. New sales begin throughout the day, as often as every 10 minutes.

And, crucially, it reported more people signed up for Prime that day than on any other day in Amazon’s history. This, perhaps, is even more valuable than having a record sales day, because roping customers into the membership program could be an effective way of generating repeat business.
