Crickets after prime day
Hi everyone,
Has anyone experienced a significant drop in sales immediately after Prime Day ends? During the event, my daily sales volume increased by up to 2.5 times. However, since July 17th, my regular daily sales have decreased by 90%.

Hello @Seller_f9EsYgksbtFXw
During Prime Day, many customers place large orders for items on their wish lists. After making these purchases, we typically see a temporary slowdown in sales as customers take time to receive and enjoy their new items.
As we move past Prime Day into late summer and early fall, sales will likely rebound. Customers will have received their Prime Day orders and be ready to shop again for upcoming events like back-to-school or early holiday gifts.
To prepare, we recommend increasing marketing for popular product categories over the next 6-8 weeks. Highlighting fast shipping and competitive prices will help drive sales as shopping activity picks up again after the Prime Day lull.
These are my thoughts alone.

Based on my sales, I couldn't have told you when prime days were. Sales were typical for the past month, and I didn't even bother shopping for anything those days either

You're probably either selling items that aren't in demand and/or your prices are too high!!
I sell 20-100 items EVERY...SINGLE...DAY!
Never had a day with zero sales, and I don't spend a penny on advertising!

Massive decline in sales here too. My yellow bars literally look like a downwards staircase.

Been practically crickets since last September. Almost a year, now. Definitely some mysterious tactics being employed by Amazon.

in case you have not noticed or you live under a rock, United States is currently in beging of a RESCESSION! Companies have been laying off workforce including Amazon to make the bottom line look good to share holders. it started in october and has continued to this day.

We don't usually do well during PRIME DAY since we are a used bookseller, sell few current bestsellers and no new titles.
Though our sales weren't impressive-no more than a usual week-day-we've been doing quite well since. 25% better than last year. This is usually not characteristic for days following PRIME DAY -but we've added a lot more inventory-and have plenty of titles in the to-be-listed area due to scouting in May and June.
Also, in the west/southwest, many schools/universities begin first or second week in August due to intersession (a one/two week vacation once weather begins to cool, usually early Oct). Due to the classics/criticism/A&L we're selling, those orders come from HS/college age. As get closer to Aug, sales will probably dry up as school clothes/shoes/supplies or tuition drain budgets.

Yes we saw a big decline in the days leading up to Prime Day and the last few days too.
Prime day exists to promote Prime and get Amazon more subscribers, and as seems to be standard practice with Amazon, their sellers foot the bill.
