During the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale, countless name-brand products were offered at steep discounts. The sales event was as good a time to shop as Prime Day, Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Although many trendy products were on sale, a few stood out as the most popular.
In this article: Beats Fit Pro x Kim Kardashian, Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Bose Noise-canceling Headphones 700.
The Prime Early Access Sale was a two-day shopping event similar to Prime Day. “During Amazon's first Prime Early Access Sale event, consumers enjoyed discounts on popular holiday gifts of the season and saved money on everyday essentials, like at-home COVID-19 rapid testing kits,” said Dana Baardsen, BestReviews e-commerce content manager.
Lightning deals emerged throughout the day, and sales could be filtered by category or top brands. Per Meredith Gallo, BestReviews senior editor of testing and experts, "During this first-ever Prime Early Access Sale we saw considerable discounts on popular tech brands including Samsung, Sony and Anker. We also saw notable discounts, above 25%, on countertop kitchen appliances and smart home equipment.”
The event's timing made it an ideal way to prepare for the holiday season. Looking back on the sales event offers critical insights into which products will be popular gift choices this year. “Holiday gifting was the central focus of the Prime Early Access Sale,” Baardsen said. “Toy brands like Magic Mixies discounted brand-new releases during the Prime Early Access Sale, which opened up new purchase opportunities for parents gifting on a budget this holiday season.”
