Amazon created Prime Day in 2015 to leverage their brand to create their own holiday shopping event independent from Cyber Monday and Black Friday. Since then Prime Day sales have exploded into neck and neck competition with the collective rest of e-commerce sales on Cyber Monday.

Despite their impressive growth numbers, Amazon‘s journey to the top has not been without incident. Last year’s prime day was marred with a crash that left users staring at dog photos instead of bargain hunting. Not one to miss an opportunity, eBay named their shopping holiday this year a “Crash Sale”.
