By offering Prime subscribers one-day shipping instead of the standard two, Amazon saw a dramatic change in shopping behavior — and a corresponding rise in costs.

New data from PSCU shows a 46% increase in sales volumes for credit union members compared to last year.

Amazon Prime Days, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are a boon for retailers, but the spikes can come at a cost, says Caroline Seymour, vice president of product marketing at Zerto.

When Amazon was busy driving traffic to its site — and the likes of Walmart and Best Buy were aggressively trying to pull shoppers away — it also invited several issuers to compete to be the top-of-wallet card for Prime Day spending.

Optimizing web sites to be able to accommodate more traffic must be a long-term goal, not only the special days, writes Lex Boost, CEO of Leaseweb USA.

The annual summer shopping bonanza will run across two days for the first time, and other retailers are following suit with offers of their own. Here’s how credit unions can capitalize on it.

Alibaba’s Singles Day has created a proven template for a successful shopping holiday, and it’s now up to U.S. online giants like Amazon to apply a similar strategy, says PPRO's Steve Villegas.

It’s higher stakes than usual for some of Amazon’s biggest rivals—including Walmart—as the e-commerce giant’s 48-hour Amazon Prime Day event nears.

The Prime Day event is also a chance for Amazon to showcase a new range of devices and payment options — but in 2019, Amazon is making some key changes to how it asks its audience to shop.

What Facebook really needs is another heavyweight like Amazon or Google to help spur cryptocurrency competition.
