Also, On Prime Day, products will display a Prime Day Deals badge similar to running a lightning deal. You have until July 5th2019 to submit your products for the prime day deals badge. Just make sure to check the Prime Day Deal Checkbox when submitting your products for approval.

Final Thoughts
Prime exclusive discounts look like they are going to be a good way to boost sales for this coming up Prime Day. It is easier to qualify for this then it is for a Lightning Deal for sellers that don’t get regular feedback. So for any product that doesn’t qualify for Prime Day Lighting Deals or if you don’t have the marketing budget to cover the cost of the Deals then this is a good option for you.
