Holiday shopping time is quickly approaching, with Amazon’s annual Big Sale kicking off early Tuesday morning.
Since its inception in 2015, it marks the unofficial start of the global holiday shipping season. Tuesday will be the second Amazon Prime event of the year. The company’s July event is estimated to have generated $13 billion in revenue within 48 hours across 19 participating countries.
Below is information about the savings campaign.

How to save more
Prime members can sign up for “invite-only” deals on select products that are expected to sell out quickly. Only certain customers will be selected to participate in these offers, and those selected will be notified with instructions on how to purchase the item.
Customers can also set up deal alerts on their account to be notified when a specific product is at its lowest price.
Early deals have been set up on the website. After the event, some products will remain available for a limited time.
