However, the company often releases early sales in the weeks leading up to the event, allowing non-subscribers to get a head start on snagging top deals. Additional Perspectives According to industry analysts, these pre-Prime Day deals are a strategic move by Amazon to generate buzz and drive sales before the main event. "By releasing early sales, Amazon is creating a sense of urgency among shoppers," said Michael Pachter, an analyst at Wedbush Securities. "This tactic can help drive sales and increase brand loyalty." Current Status and Next Developments As Prime Day approaches, Engadget will continue to monitor and update its list of top deals. Shoppers are advised to act quickly, as these early sales may not last long. With the main event just around the corner, it's clear that Amazon is gearing up for a record-breaking shopping spree.
