🗝️ Key Takeaways from Prime Day 2025

After a sluggish start, Amazon’s first-ever 4-day Prime Day pulled in a record $24.1B in U.S. online sales — a 30.3% jump year over year.

But it wasn’t just bigger. It was smarter.

🛒 Shoppers bought differently

• Two-thirds of the items sold were under $20

• Apparel & shoes, essentials, and home goods beat out flashy electronics

• Voice + AI tools like Alexa+ and Rufus played a bigger role in discovery

• BNPL usage (Buy Now, Pay Later) rose 13.6% as shoppers looked for more flexible ways to pay. Mobile payment also increased.

📌What Sellers Should Do Now:

✅ Prioritize value: Focus on replenishable and everyday-use products priced under $25. Think bundles and multi-packs.

✅ Optimize for mobile + AI: Tools like Alexa+ and Rufus are changing how shoppers find products. Update titles, bullets, and A+ content to rank in voice and AI-driven search.

✅ Stock early, sell often: With Prime Day stretched to 4 days and 2+ orders per shopper, sellers who planned ahead won big.

✅ Watch payment trends: BNPL (Buy Now, Pay Later) is growing — align your price points with easy-to-justify spend.

Bottom line: The rules of Prime Day are shifting. Value, timing, and visibility now matter more than ever.

🚀 Still Just Using Keepa? Here’s What Serious Sellers Are Using to Scale

🌍 Why Most U.S. Sellers Never Go Global (And How to Break That Pattern)

Amazon just launched in Ireland. South Africa last year. However, while global demand is rising , most US sellers are staying local.

👉 69% sell in only one marketplace
👉 Fewer than 1% expand beyond North America

Why? It’s not demand. It’s logistics: customs, VAT, international shipping. Complex, expensive, and unfamiliar.

But global growth doesn’t have to mean global headaches.

Here are 3 ways sellers are going international without setting up legal entities in every country:

✅ Non-Resident Importer (IoR)
Import and fulfill locally. No local business required - just tax registration (like VAT). Lower shipping costs, no income tax, and available in top markets like the UK, EU, Canada, and Australia.

✅ Merchant of Record (MoR)
Outsource import and tax compliance to a provider. Easy to launch, minimal setup. Ideal for testing new countries, but comes with less control and higher per-sale fees.

✅ Local Tax Entity
Set up a full business presence. High control, high complexity - best for large-scale expansion or brand-owned operations.

📦 Bottom line: You don’t need a global team to sell globally. Choose the right model, start small, and unlock new markets without drowning in paperwork.
