Add Some Hope to Your Shopping Cart on Amazon Prime Day
It’s almost here – Christmas in July, otherwise known as Amazon Prime Day is Monday, July 16th. Last year, Amazon’s July Prime Day set a new sales record for the company. The online retailer says sales last July were higher than Black Friday or Cyber Monday 2016, “making it the biggest day ever in Amazon history.”
