Amazon Prime Day Best Bets: Don't Miss These Deals
Christmas goes digital on today when Amazon hosts its second annual Prime Day, a push to get shoppers signed up for the website's premium service by offering an absolute pile of discounts. Last year's event was kicked off to celebrate the company's 20th birthday and has been compared favorably to Black Friday, with Amazon claiming more sales than even the post-holiday shopping binge accounts for.
As a marketing event Prime Day was a roaring success in 2015, although not without its blips. Last year's was criticized for its assortment of underwhelming and semi-useless items, including such gems as discount toilet paper and a combo set featuring: one Diane Keaton T-shirt, five brass knuckles and a plate of ham.
Others complained about supposed deals that were gone in the time it took to hit "one click shop."
Well the web's Keaton-loving, bar-fighting pork connoisseurs must have been legion, because according to the company's statistics last year's sales jumped by 266% on Prime Day. This year, Amazon has vowed to make the event even more memorable, with over 100,000 deals running on today. Here are a few of the ways the world's largest e-tailer plans to turn 21.
