Retailer to run eight days of deals on back to school essentials and late summer lines.
Amazon has announced its biggest ever August Bank Holiday sale event – eight days of deals on everything from back to school essentials to items to enjoy the last weeks of summer.
The event will run from August 22-29 with deals organised by themes such as ‘Garden Clean Up’, ‘Festival Fun’, ‘Last of the Summer’ and ‘Off to University’.
There will be a range of new ‘Deals of the Day’ available every day throughout the event, from electronics and gadgets to homewares, garden supplies and the best in back to school clothing.
In addition, ‘Lightning Deals’ – products available at a discount, in limited quantities, for a short period of time – will be introduced throughout the sale, with new deals becoming available as often as every five minutes.
Amazon Prime members will have an exclusive 30-minute early access period to all Lightning Deals, while customers can also shop deals using the Amazon App.
Small businesses and artisans selling on Amazon Marketplace, Amazon Launchpad and more are also offering deals across the Bank Holiday.
“With such good weather this year, we know our customers will be looking to squeeze every last drop out of the last few weeks of summer, so we’re pleased to be making our August Bank Holiday Sale bigger than ever” said Doug Gurr, UK country manager at Amazon.
“Whether you’re getting the younger kids ready for school, the older ones prepared for university or heading off for a late summer festival, we will have a great deal for everyone this August Bank Holiday to help make those last summer moments count.”
