Prime Day 2025 is just around the corner, set to take place from July 11-18, and the race is on to refine e-commerce strategies and capitalize on Amazon’s members-only annual shopping extravaganza. Brands that excel in captivating, engaging, and converting customers on Amazon are poised to secure significant gains and gain a competitive edge in a challenging shopping season that will likely extend through the rest of the year.
In 2024, Prime Day sales reached $14.2 billion, and we expect to see that number grow even more this year. Small and Medium Sized Businesses (SMBs) were the biggest winners in 2024, and we expect to see even more success for them in 2025. With so much potential revenue up for grabs, competition on Amazon will be fierce, with more sellers and deals than ever vying for shoppers’ attention.
The winning formula for Prime Day involves several key strategies. And even if you’re not participating with your own Lightning Deals or special offers, you can still achieve significant wins. The surge in traffic across Amazon’s marketplace increases the chances of your products appearing in search results, capturing attention, and converting visitors to your Product Detail Pages (PDPs).
Given the Prime Day-adjacent promotions many retailers now run, there is also room for e-commerce success beyond Amazon’s platform. The competition will be fierce, and shoppers’ attention will be brief. You must be prepared to make the most of every opportunity to stand out.
Monitoring Search Rank is Key to Prime Day Success
The battle often starts long before a shopper lands on a PDP. While many Prime Day sales are driven by deals and products featured on Amazon-featured pages, a significant number of transactions still come from user searches. The most successful brands on Amazon closely monitor the internal Amazon SERP (Search Engine Results Page) for keywords and search terms that are vital to their strategy.
The Amazon SERP is the ‘digital shelf’ where consumers first see available products. Monitoring the digital shelf is critical to ensure your products are being discovered and considered, and to avoid spending on expensive paid advertising and placements if your products are already ranking organically. Syndigo provides automated Share of Search reports that eliminate manual tracking and provide immediate access to critical data.
Rankings can change quickly, especially during high-traffic events like Prime Day. Top sellers on Amazon receive regular updates on their rankings and those of their competitors, allowing them to make real-time adjustments to their product content and paid advertising strategies. If you’re not organically ranking at or near the top of the SERP, you might need to pay Amazon for a spot. However, careful monitoring ensures you don’t waste ad spend and can focus on high-value keywords where your investment will have the greatest impact.
Direct Connections for Agile Reactions
Speed is everything when it comes to winning in e-commerce. The limited window and frenetic pace of Prime Day make nimbleness and responsiveness crucial. Using Amazon’s direct APIs to submit updates to your product information and content is the most efficient way to ensure timely passage and approval of data and assets to your Amazon Vendor or Seller Central. These connections provide valuable real-time feedback about data quality and publication confirmation.
The most competitive brands on Amazon leverage these direct connections to swiftly respond to competitors’ changes, promote time-sensitive messaging, correct errors, and test the effectiveness of different content. Syndigo’s data quality standards and validation ensure that your product content meets Amazon’s strict standards, facilitating rapid publication.
Differentiating PDPs With Enhanced Content
Once a shopper reaches your PDP, you have only a few moments to capture their attention and keep them engaged—especially during Prime Day when numerous other offers are competing for their interest. Leading companies enhance their product pages with Amazon A+ content, which offers a more complete and compelling product experience. A+ content allows you to tell your brand story, create interactive experiences, provide detailed product information, and reduce returns. Enhanced Content has been shown to increase conversions by an average of 39%.
Syndigo’s platform simplifies the process of creating and publishing both core content and A+ content to Amazon. Our easy-to-use templates help you create compelling widgets that meet Amazon’s requirements, enabling you to quickly publish interactive content and drive sales.

Leveraging this content on other platforms can further extend your reach. Many brands invest significant effort into making their Amazon PDPs visually appealing and informative. Given that Amazon accounts for 56.7% of the U.S. eCommerce market, this focus is understandable. However, this still leaves a substantial portion of potential sales untapped, particularly for brands that have found success on other eCommerce platforms. Syndigo Content Harvesting capabilities allow you to extract and reformat the information and assets you’ve prepared for Amazon, to use on other e-commerce platforms as well.
