đ More days. More buyers. More risk if youâre not ready.
đ§ Prime Day Isnât ExpandingâItâs Evolving
In 2025, Amazon isnât just extending Prime Day from 2 to 4 daysâtheyâre rewriting the seller playbook. This isnât about a couple of bonus sales days. Itâs a complete shift in strategy, buyer behavior, and platform dynamics.
For Amazon sellers, itâs both a massive opportunityâand a moment of make-or-break decisions.
đŚ Why 4 Days of Prime Day Changes Everything
Prime Day has always been a high-stakes sprint. Now, it’s a marathonâand your ability to pace, plan, and pivot will determine whether you scale profitably or stall out.
Hereâs what this shift signals:
- đ Buyers need more time: Inflation is reshaping how people shop. A longer event allows more decision-making spaceâand more chances to re-engage.
- đ Performance is cumulative: Success wonât hinge on hour-one momentum. Instead, sellers who optimize and adapt each day will win big.
- đ¸ The ad race lasts longer: Four days means higher budgets, shifting bids, and real-time ROI tracking.
- đ Inventory burnout is real: Youâll need to stay stocked through 4 days of heavy sales AND the post-Prime halo week that follows.
đ 2025 Prime Day Seller Deadlines You Canât Miss
Donât let critical deadlines slip past. Hereâs your Prime Day 2025 prep calendar:
đď¸ Deadline | ||
May 5 | Final day to submit Prime Exclusive Discounts | |

June 18 | Deadline for FBA shipments using âAmazon-optimized shipment splitsâ |

đ Donât waitâget your discounts and inventory in the pipeline before these deadlines.
đ§ What Smart Sellers Are Doing Right Now
This isnât about âgetting readyââitâs about getting smart. Hereâs how top brands are already shifting their strategy for a longer, more intense Prime Day.
1. Pre-Prime Planning â Just Submitting Deals
The brands that dominate donât submit and waitâthey test, measure, and adjust before the clock even starts.
â
Which ASINs can support aggressive discounts and still hold margin?
â
Which listings need A+ refreshes, keyword boosts, or image upgrades?
â
Which SKUs are velocity-readyâand which are dead weight?
đ With Seller Labs, sellers are:
- Analyzing SKU-level profitability and sales trends to identify which products can support promotions without sacrificing margins
- Monitoring ad performance and adjusting bids across campaigns to maximize ROAS
- Tracking inventory levels and receiving restock recommendations to avoid stockouts during high-demand periods
2. Inventory Is Not OptionalâItâs a Leverage Point
Running out of stock by Day 3 wonât just cost you sales. It kills ad efficiency and tanked listings can lose momentum for weeks.
đ Top sellers are:
- Modeling sales curves over 4 days + a 5â10 day halo
- Splitting inventory smartly across fulfillment paths
- Use the Seller Labs Restock App to forecast inventory needs and prevent stockouts during Prime Day and the halo period
