2022 Amazon Prime Day
📝 Literacy Q & A 📝
Part I Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Q1 When will Amazon Prime Day be held this year?
Amazon has not officially announced the date of 2022 Amazon Prime Membership Day. Please follow Amazon's official channels (WeChat account, email, etc.) for the latest notifications. Amazon will provide the latest information as soon as possible.
❓ Q2 Can new sellers that have just launched this year participate in the Amazon Prime Day promotion?
Of course you can. Amazon Prime Day promotions are divided into different types, and the eligibility requirements for products vary. Sellers are advised to optimize the product selection structure in advance and make targeted plans for different levels of product selection.
For new products scheduled to participate in this year's Amazon Prime Day, it is recommended to create and review ASINs at least three months in advance so that they can be listed as soon as possible. Even if you don't qualify for a deal recommendation, it is recommended to submit coupons and exclusive Prime discounts as soon as possible, optimize your rankings, and try to get a certain amount of exposure in peak season traffic.
❓ Q3 Where can I get the Amazon Prime membership daily declaration information for emerging sites?
Currently, Amazon Prime Day promotion information on Amazon's emerging site will be coming soon. If you would like more information, we recommend that sellers on the emerging site contact their account manager or check the official email.
❓ Q4 Can non-FBA shipped products participate in the Amazon Prime Day promotion?
Deal promotions on mature sites (including Town Store Treasures and Lightning Deals) and Prime exclusive discount coupons only support FBA delivery, and coupons support FBA and SFP shipping. Emerging sites Since each site's situation is different, please check recent emails or consult the corresponding site's account manager for details.
❓ Q5 How should the FBA entry deadline be interpreted?Can inventory be delivered after the cutoff date?
The FBA warehouse will not distinguish whether the item is active inventory on Amazon Prime Day or general inventory. Setting a cutoff date takes into account that compared to a daily basis, a large number of sellers will concentrate on preparing more inventory for Amazon Prime Day. Centralized delivery may cause the warehouse to drastically slow down receive/listing speed, causing the Amazon Prime Day event to be missed.
Sellers are advised to complete delivery before the storage deadline recommended by Amazon. Amazon Prime Day products that arrive later than that date can still be stored, but there is no guarantee that they will participate in the event in a timely manner.
❓ Q6 How can I manage and optimize inventory space before the peak season arrives?
Prioritize the use of Amazon's regular promotional tools, including coupons, Prime exclusive discounts, flash sales, Amazon Outlet promotions, etc., to increase product sales rates.
For inventory that is not ideal for regular promotions or needs to be disposed of, give preference to the Amazon Logistics Bulk Clearance Program (FBA Liquidations), which can recoup part of the cost of the product.
For Amazon Logistics (FBA) sellers, in order to prevent storage restrictions and products unable to be stored, sellers should hurry up to improve their IPI score to avoid storage space restrictions affecting your peak season storage or causing excessive storage fees.
You can also refer to recommendations from the Inventory Performance Dashboard (🔍 path: Seller Central > Inventory Planning > Performance), such as improving sell-through rates, reducing excess inventory, or fixing Amazon inventory with no active sales information to improve inventory performance index scores.
Part II: Issues Related to Promotion Reporting
❓ Q1 Why don't I have any Amazon Prime Day Deals (Deal) recommendations?
Whether it's a regular or peak season promotion, deal promotion recommendations are automatically recommended by the system based on the ASIN's performance. Sellers can check if their ASIN has been recommended in Seller Central (🔍 path: Seller Central > Advertising > Lightning Deals > Create New Promotion).
Deal recommendations are updated every week. If you haven't seen any Deal recommendations yet, don't worry. We recommend checking back regularly every week. Once you see Deal recommendations, you can report them all.
❓ Q2 Can the same ASIN use multiple promotions in the same time period?Can they be used in combination?
Sellers can apply for multiple promotions during the Amazon Prime Day promotion and submission period, but after the campaign application results and schedule are determined, sellers are advised to consider various factors such as time schedule and product profit for some screening.
It is recommended to use only one promotion tool for the same ASIN at the same time to avoid excessive discounts due to the combination of discounts and affecting profits.
❓ Q3 How do I claim Amazon Prime Day coupons now?
After Amazon officially announces the 2022 Amazon Prime Membership Day date, go to Seller Central to set up coupons based on the date.
❓ Q4 Can product variations be changed for products that have applied for promotion?
No. For promotions that include variations, avoid creating or assigning new child ASINs within that variation series. This will cause Amazon to re-validate the existing promotion for the new child ASIN, causing the promotion to be suspended or cancelled.
❓ Q5 What actions may prevent me from participating in the Amazon Prime Day promotion?
① The promotional price does not meet the campaign requirements
② The inventory quantity does not meet the minimum quantity requirements for the activity
③ Product main image does not meet Amazon requirements
④ To provide the best customer experience, products may be required to display a reference price in order to participate in promotions
⑤ Other acts that violate Amazon's policies will cause you to be unable to participate properly in the Amazon Prime Day promotion
❓ Q6 Can the seller adjust the price after reporting the campaign?
Prices can be adjusted, but the requirement is not higher than the maximum campaign price recommended by the system; otherwise, the operation of the campaign will be affected.
❓ Q7 Can I change the price if the promotion is already in progress?
Please do not adjust the active price of the product when the Super Deal is “in progress”. Unauthorized price adjustments may cause system problems that prevent the flash sale from continuing, and cause consumers who have previously purchased this product to have a poor experience, leading to customer complaints, etc.

Inventory management is a matter that requires long-term supervision and optimization by sellers in line with their own business conditions. In particular, it is essential for sellers to clean up unhealthy inventory such as overdue, idle, and redundant inventory in a timely manner. Before automatically removing inventory, it is recommended that you check the inventory status regularly and prioritize recovering product value through promotional methods such as outlet deals, price reduction promotions, and advertising promotions.
