Amazon moves Prime Day to early June, reshaping retail calendar

Amazon has shifted its annual Prime Day sale to an earlier summer date, running from June 23-26, a move designed to capture consumer spending before summer travel and major events like the FIFA World Cup. This four-day format, now in its second year, aims to pull forward the retail calendar and secure a larger share of shopper budgets, according to analysts. The earlier timing also allows for greater separation from Amazon's fall Prime Day event, providing a reset period for both consumers and advertisers. AI
