Get ready retailers. Amazon’s annual Prime Day is back. The 48-hour event kicks off July 12 at 3 a.m. EDT and runs through July 13 for Prime members in Austria, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, the U.K., the U.S., and for the first time ever in Poland and Sweden. Later this summer, Prime Day deals events will be held in India, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, as well as in Egypt for the first time. Early deals and new, member-only offerings will start on June 21.

Customers will be able to shop products from even more top national brands and more third-party sellers, including many small and medium-sized businesses. New deals will go live throughout the event, offering savings on products across categories.

“With the small businesses and national brands our members love and trust, we’re excited to offer some of our best Prime Day deals yet to even more customers around the world,” said Jamil Ghani, vice president of Amazon Prime. “This year, we’re making it simple for members to find the best deals, from personalized deal recommendations to Alexa reminders. It’s never been easier for Prime members to shop, save, and make the most of Prime Day.”

Amazon shoppers will save up to 55% on Amazon Devices, including the Echo Show 5, Kindle Paperwhite, Amazon Glow with Tangram Bits, Halo Band, Luna Controller, Fire 7 Tablet, etc., and will also save on Fire and smart televisions.

Starting June 21, customers will have an opportunity to shop early Prime Day deals alongside their favorite celebrities and influencers on Amazon Live, including Porsha Williams, Joe and Frank Mele, and Lala Kent. On June 28 at 1 p.m. EDT, Hilary Duff will join some of her favorite small business owners who will showcase their products and share inspiring stories behind their brands.
