Amazon is driving even deeper engagement with its ecosystem with a huge number of US consumers. For nearly all brands and manufacturers, winning on Amazon could become a prerequisite to winning omnichannel as well as the digital shelf.

Price will be a key traffic driver today, but winning brands need to also engage with great content on their product pages. Especially on high ticket items that we’re seeing activity around this Prime Day.
