Amazon Australia Prime Day may kick off on June 21st, but the retail giant has given shoppers a little taste of what’s on offer.

This year, small Australian businesses are at the forefront of the sale day, with the ‘Shop Local’ store.

The ‘Shop Local’ store features curated collections from Aussie businesses, including Meluka Australia which makes 100% natural honey powered by native Australian botanicals and Song Saga, a party game designed to gamify storytelling and leverage the power of music to help build human connections.

“Last Prime Day marked the two biggest days for small Australian businesses on Amazon.com.au and we are proud to put them front and centre through our ‘Shop Local’ store during one of our busiest shopping events,” Arno Lenior, Director of Prime for Amazon Australia, said.

Denise, Founder of Little Archer & Co. said: “To me, Prime Day is an opportunity to get as much exposure as possible, through showcasing great products which our shoppers can pick up at a discounted price.

“It’s the time of year when our sales volume tends to spike dramatically, helping to put the brand in a strong position for the year ahead. Building relations and trust with new and existing customers promotes continued growth for Little Archer & Co. and enables us to offer more to Australian families.”

The dates for Prime Day 2021 have been were announced as June 21 and 22 and will likely see everything from day to day essentials like multipacks of paper towels and Coca Cola cans, to cool tech like robot vacuums and smart speakers, get reduced.

Big ticket and everyday items are discounted as part of the sales, but you have to be a Prime member to take advantage.

There is a 30-day free trial period however, so if you aren’t currently a Prime member, you can sign up within that time to get access to the sales next week.

If you really want to get ahead of the game, you can set up alerts on your wish list so that if any items become part of a lighting deal, you’ll know instantly and can jump straight on.

To do this, you’ll need to download the Amazon Shopping App, and go to ‘Settings’ then ‘Notifications’ and select notifications for ‘Your Watched and Waitlisted Deals’.
