Amazon has established itself as one of the big four companies along with Google, Apple, and Facebook. Amazon focuses on e-commerce, digital marketing, cloud computing, online surfing, artificial intelligence, etc. The most popular events held by Amazon is its Prime Day Sale. Amazon first started Prime Day in 2015, and it soon became the biggest shopping day event; with over 89 million buyers, as recorded in 2018.
Date and Timings
Amazon hasn’t yet officially declared the date and timings for Amazon Prime Day 2019, but from the past few years trends, we can assume that it’ll be soon held in the mid of July. As seen in 2018 Prime Day, the sale took place on Monday, 16TH July, from 3 PM ET and continued for the next 36 hours. With every passing year, Prime Day has been lengthened, 24 hours as in 2017 and 30 hours as in 2018, so based on this trend we can predict that Prime Day 2019 can be even longer.

Improvements for Amazon Prime Day 2019
Last year on Prime Day, Amazon’s site crashed because of the massive amount of traffic and lack of sufficient amount of servers. The customers found their cart getting empty all of a sudden, and then the next moment they were unable to access the site as well. Few sites even got their calculators shut down, which almost lasted for about 63 minutes.
To prevent the repetition of such mishaps, this year Amazon has taken certain preventive measures such as increased number of servers to cope up with the tremendous traffic, improved navigation and the discover-ability of the deals, etc.
