Amazon run many deals programs, the best known of which are of course the Prime Day Deals, Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals and Lightning Deals. Now Amazon 7-Day Deals are available to Amazon sellers based on their performance criteria and product qualification. Naturally Amazon 7-Day deals will be featured on the Amazon Deals page.
Amazon 7-Day Deals are similar to Lightning Deals but run for a longer duration. An Amazon Lightning Deal is a time-bound, promotional offer where an item is featured for a limited number of hours, typically 4 to 12 hours. Similarly an Amazon 7-Day Deal is also a time-bound, promotional offer but the item is featured for a limited number of days on the Amazon Deals page. Featuring an item as a 7-day Deal may help increase sales and reduce your inventory – useful if you have excess inventory and need to clear it to avoid Amazon Long Term Storage fees.
