- I have 10 huge Prime Day predictions plus tips
to score you the most deals this Amazon Prime Day 2020.
Welcome back to the channel.
As you can tell, I don't get out much
and I have few friends other than the wonderful people
that have subscribed.
If you like this type of content,
give this video a thumbs up.
And if you guys do subscribe with your notifications
turned on, you will lock in the best Prime Day deals
before anyone else including on Prime Day itself,
when I release a couple of videos to actually steer you
toward the best savings updated hourly.
So before I get into the predictions,
a reminder, I am an Amazon Insider,
I do contract with Amazon to host programming for them live.
I'm not an employee, this is not a sponsored video,
I'm not their mouthpiece,
I'm gonna tell you as a consumer advocate
and to help you get the most bang for your buck,
what makes the most sense for you this Prime Day
and let me put my box down.
Let's begin with prediction number one.
And this is going to be the biggest Prime Day ever,
in terms of traffic.
And I don't think it's gonna be the biggest Prime Day
in terms of spending times are tough right now,
we're all hurting.
And this might not be the year we're all running out
to buy massive screen 4K televisions, but this is a time
where we're going to be purchasing necessities.
Amazon and other retailers understand that
and they are shifting their focus
toward things for pet owners and parents like me.
So this is going to be a very different Prime Day.
But I think it is going to be the largest
in terms of actual transactions just based on the fact
that people really need a good deal.
What they're purchasing, though,
will be completely different than any Prime Day in the past.
Prediction number two,
Prime Day will be amazing for the economy.
And that's because you've got stores like Walmart,
and Target that are also hosting competitive sales,
all at the same time.
So that's great for the consumer.
And that's also great for the economy.
And some people might say that's just true
for these evil giants big box retail,
but it's actually true.
A lot of small businesses sell and advertise their products
on platforms like Amazon, Target, Walmart,
so you can actually support small and local business
despite the fact that they have to pay
a lot of their transaction fees
to some of the larger companies on Prime Day.
So that's really important to note
which brings me to prediction number three.
Oh, and by the way, when is Prime Day 2020?
It's October 13th and 14th.
And for those of you that are not aware of it,
you might have heard that it starts at midnight,
it starts at midnight Pacific Standard Time.
So not midnight, East Coast 3a.m., East Coast time,
midnight PST is when Prime Day begins,
and it is a full 48 hour event.
And I will of course be participating
in the live coverage of it.
But anyhow, what I was trying to say before I cut myself off
is pricing will be nearly disposable
on Amazon Echo products on Prime Day
that includes a savings of $40 on the Echo Show 5,
this is obviously gonna drop lower
than the price you see on your screen.
But this is going to drop by $40 as one of the examples.
Fire TV sticks I anticipate will be under 30 bucks.
And we sometimes see crazy things right around
that $24 price point for singular Echo devices.
This is an attempt for Amazon
to embed itself in your household.
Which means if you have Echo devices,
you're likely to spend more money on other Amazon products,
they don't mind giving you the hardware,
considering that you then rely upon further
on the Amazon Alexa Voice Service.
And things like the Fire TV like this 43 HDTV
will be 179 on Prime Day,
which is an incredible deal for the HD version,
the 4K version will be 199 for a Toshiba 43" TV.
That is amazing.
Prediction number four is that Amazon will make some deals
seem better than they actually are.
And it's not really false advertising.
But it is something that you need to keep in mind
when you are shopping on Amazon.
And by the way, guys, if you do subscribe
to my YouTube channel, this is the type of information
I dispense on a regular basis.
If you guys look at this Ring security system
that's 249 for the 8-piece 2nd Gen system,
just as an example, when you add the Echo Dot,
the free Echo Dot, it will quote you a price of 299 down
to a bundle price of 249 and a savings of $50.
That's just not true, you're not saving $50.
If you were to go and buy an Echo Dot right now,
an Echo Dot is $39, $39 for one Echo Dot.
In fact Prime members get two for 39.98.
But irrespective of that it's $39 for an Echo Dot.
So if you aren't getting a free Echo Dot
this should really say you're saving 39
and the bundle price would be 249 with a list price of 289.
I know that's only $10 in difference.
But this is the type of advertising
and bundling you're gonna see all over Prime Day.
So please, if you are seeing something
that's like a free Ring security camera
and you're thinking oh my goodness,
I really need to buy this because I'm saving $90 today,
you might actually be saving 30 so pay very close attention.
Bundling is a very popular thing to do,
not just from Amazon but other retailers
where you're convinced you're getting a better deal
than you actually are because they create the list prices
into the bundle and jack things up.
That's it not true.
Keep that in mind on Prime Day.
Prime Day prediction number five is that you will see better
than Black Friday and Cyber Monday prices on Amazon Fashion.
And if you guys are not aware,
Amazon has some really high end fashion.
I know as you can tell, let's look at me for a second,
not the most fashionable individual.
And my tie sometimes looked like
I had some type of severe issue when I put it on.
I know that's a regular thing.
But for people that are fashionable, like my hot wife,
you will be amazed at what you can find on Amazon
and just how low prices can go.
And one of the great things about the Amazon Fashion line
is they're good for people of all sizes,
plus sizes, curves or regular people
that wanna look very fashionable,
there will be nearly disposable prices on the fashion line.
One of the big things that Amazon is trying to push
is its fashion brand and an awareness of it.
And you will see this is just a huge focus
of Prime Day 2020.
I should also mention that the timing
of Prime Day this year on October 13th and 14th
is more substantial because when Prime Day
is usually in July, you're getting it
on a bunch of summer things that you might not be able
to use for as long as a winter or fall release,
the jeans, the sweaters, the jackets,
there's more substantial savings
when you are buying some of the heavier items
versus how much you can save on a summer dress or a T-shirt.
So this is really a year to focus on fashion
if you need to stock up for you, your kids or your family.
For Prime Day prediction number six,
which is more of a reality now and also attempt to save
Prime Day will hardly just be about tech this year.
And yes, we'll talk about Beats by Dre
and all sorts of other huge deals tied
to computers, laptops, Macs,
but we're seeing some very aggressive storage offerings
for Amazon Prime members.
And also for people who are learning from home,
doing distance learning,
running a small business working from home.
Things like buy a 100 gig plan
and get 100 gig free is awesome.
The savings on Audible is key.
But there's also a focus on products
that are made by small Audible as well.
There's gonna be I think an Amazon four month
Amazon unlimited music subscription for $1.
But the shop small focus this year, which I alluded to
on how you can also support small businesses,
all Prime members will get $10 to spend
on small businesses on Prime Day.
So if you spend 10, you get $10 for free.
And this will also be a year of coupons and further savings
to really take your cash a little bit further.
It's also going to be a year in my estimation
where there's not as much of a focus on Whole Foods.
As you guys are not aware, Amazon owns Whole Foods.
And I think rather than bringing herds and herds and herds
of crowds into Whole Foods, by the way,
Whole Foods is not a good way to save money,
if you're wondering.
We'll talk about that another day.
I also did videos on Oddie and how to save on groceries
and Trader Joe's and things like that.
But I don't think they're gonna try
and get rushes of people into whole food stores.
That probably wouldn't be a great idea right now.
And I don't think Whole Foods is going to bring
additional savings, you're gonna get better deals,
boy I did a strange hand gesture
that means I'm getting excited and I'm awkward.
You're gonna get better deals
by just simply asking your Amazon Echo Show
or your Amazon Alexa Voice Service,
what are the Prime Day deals and having their mobile app
and the additional alerts in the Prime early day stuff
which we'll get to in a moment is all going to be catered
to the individual shopping from home in front of a screen.
Prime Day prediction number seven.
This year, there will be a massive focus on Home Security.
You guys are not aware Amazon owns Blink,
and Ring Home Security and the types of deals
you're going to see on both of these almost competing
in distinctly different lines.
And of course I'll have all of the deals.
If you subscribe, I will hook you up before anyone else
and ensure that you do get stock on these.
But this is going to be a year
where Amazon can really celebrate its monopoly brand control
of these respective lines.
You're gonna see on the Blink front,
Blink Mini Indoor cameras one will be 25 bucks,
two for 50 which would regularly be 35 each so that's huge.
And bundles like getting an Echo Show 5
and a Blink Mini for 55 bucks will be a reality.
And on top of that you're gonna
have a lot of the independent Home Security brands
that try to get involved on Prime Day
like Wyze Cam, I'm sure we'll have some really cool deals
and with Home Security will become nearly almost giveaway
freebie pricing on smart home accessories
that work with security cameras and other products
like Kasa and TP-Link and smart outlets
and things that you can bundle with your Echo
will all see massive price drops.
Keep in mind too for home networking, Amazon owns Eero Mesh,
we're gonna see some crazy price drops
if you're looking to upgrade your Wi-Fi,
actually recently I did a video
on how to upgrade your Wi-Fi and get faster speeds.
So that's covered on my YouTube channel
but for the actual deals on the hardware,
I will have you covered around the clock on Prime Day.
Prime Day prediction number eight,
this will be the least expensive and best time of the year.
Well, that's heavy box I am weak emotionally and physically.
So I'm gonna put it down, to buy a RoboVac.
This is the time better than Black Friday,
better than Cyber Monday and whether it's Roomba
or Eufy or Coredy or Roborock, the savings that you will get
on a RoboVac specifically on Prime Day
will be unlike anything we've ever seen
usually on Prime Day, it's a huge focus
this year more so than ever.
Prime Day prediction number nine,
you can only count on Apple for certain products
on Prime Day and Beats by Dre,
just making sure I held the boxes properly
is an amazing grab on Prime Day 2020.
You are going to see prices slashed all over the place
on Beats by Dre deals of various models,
you'll see some great iPad deals,
you will not see any huge MacBook Pro or MacBook deals
you might see a few on the renewed line
and some of the base levels, but don't get too excited
about saving a lot of money on Apple computers.
It's the Beats by Dre owned by Apple section
and the iPads where we will see some nice deals,
some of the iPad accessories will also be reduced.
And if you are looking for headphones
and you don't wanna deal with Beats by Dre,
Bose will have some great savings on various models.
And Sony will also be very aggressive
on the headphone front.
So keep that in mind.
This is definitely the year of the headphone deal
and Prime Day, the number one day in my estimation
to make all of those grabs at the same time.
And Prime Day prediction number 10 is that this year,
specifically on Prime Day,
Prime members will be treated better than ever
and offered more early discounts
and savings than ever before.
That's because this is a very different year.
Keep in mind that with what's going on
in the world right now primarily what started affecting
a lot of your Amazon shipments in March,
Amazon Prime Day two day delivery went out the window,
a lot of the inventory and warehousing
that you've been expecting from Amazon
over the course of your prime membership
kind of just got obliterated,
and Amazon has received some negative PR
I'm sure at different points,
they've got some unhappy customers.
And this is a year for them to change that.
And I think there's going to be
a massive focus on the Prime member.
And with that being said, I would use the free 30 day trial
to enjoy the benefits of prime over Prime Day
even if you cancel you're welcome to use my link.
In fact, actually, I would love if you would use my link
because it's an affiliate link, which means I will benefit
if you do use the link that I've placed
under this video description box.
But sign up use that free 30 day trial,
you're gonna unlock additional savings and discounts
even if you don't continue the Prime membership
beyond Prime Day but that will unlock savings.
And I do believe that Amazon is going to do everything
in its power not speaking on behalf of the company.
But this is my supposition
to reward the customer unlike anything on Prime Day.
It's a celebration of itself.
So it's a very self-focused egotistical holiday.
And I always find it so funny when Walmart is making a sale
because it's essentially them
celebrating Amazon's sale as well.
But it's great for the customer.
Keep in mind too, if you love or hate Prime Day
or love or hate Amazon, Amazon is a marketplace,
they are the merchant and while they will aggressively
reduce all of their own products.
There's millions of resellers that use Amazon
as their platform kind of like Amazon
becoming the shopping mall.
So Prime Day can be good or bad based on how you shop.
I would love to be your guide
because with all of the merchants
that represent Amazon having their own little Prime Days
and own little sales, not all of it
is actually going to be a great purchase.
There's items to avoid,
there's things I would buy and wouldn't buy.
And I would love to help you save
as much cash as humanly possible.
