Amazon introduced Prime Day back in 2015 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of its founding. It was the event of a one-off sale offering more deals than Black Friday, exclusively for Prime members.

While consumers are holding on to their cash more than before, given the right opportunity, results show that retailers can encourage spending, particularly…
