Another Prime Day has come and gone, and this year's event was the biggest global shopping event in Amazon's history. Sales grew by more than 60% compared to last year's Prime Day. In addition, more new members joined Prime on July 11 than on any single day in Amazon history.
With 30 hours to shop, Prime members flocked especially to Amazon devices like the Echo,Fire tablets, and Kindle devices.
The most popular purchase of the event was the Amazon Echo Dot.
According to Amazon, members purchased seven times more Echo devices globally than on Prime Day 2016. The Echo Dot also claimed the title for the best-selling product from any manufacturer in any category across Amazon globally.
Outside of Amazon devices, Prime members around the world loved everything from video game consoles to DNA tests. In the US and Canada, top sellers included the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. In the UK, it was the TP-Link Wi-Fi Smart Plug and Sony PlayStation 4. It looks like shoppers in France and Belgium are big "Game of Thrones" fans and went for the Complete Season 1-6 Blu-Ray Pack, while shoppers in China bought a surprising number of Fisher Price Soothe & Glow Seahorses.
