Amazon Prime Day 2025 Tips: Maximize Sales with Darwynn Fulfillment
Published: June 2025 — Amazon Prime Day 2025 is expected to kick off in mid-July, with 24 countries including the US, UK, and Japan joining the celebration. Ireland is joining for the first time, offering sellers fresh opportunities! Darwynn Fulfillment reminds you that preparation season is here—use this ultimate guide to avoid costly mistakes, late shipments, and missed sales opportunities during the biggest sales event of the year.
✍️ Prime Day Lightning Deal Pricing Rules
1️⃣ Base Price 20% Off Rule
Your listing price (e.g., $100) must be discounted at least 20% to qualify for Lightning Deals—$80 is the first price threshold to meet.
2️⃣ 30-Day Lowest Price Check
Amazon will track the lowest price offered in the past 30 days, including all coupons and promotions. For example:
- Lightning Deal Price: $75
- Extra Coupon: 10% ($10)
- Final Price: $75 – $10 = $65
This $65 price becomes your new baseline price for Prime Day—don’t let it catch you off guard!
3️⃣ 90-Day Historical Price Rule
If your main price has been stable for 90 days, Prime Day may require an additional 5% discount to stay competitive. (In this example, it did not apply.)
🚨 Key Tips to Avoid Pitfalls
- Start monitoring price history in June to avoid refreshing your lowest price right before Prime Day.
- Set prices strategically 90 days in advance to prevent getting trapped by the 5% rule.
- Don’t miss the new Ireland marketplace opportunity—less competition means more chances to shine!
