Amazon has confirmed the official dates for Prime Big Deal Days 2026: the 48-hour event will take place on October 6 and 7, 2026. This event marks the strategic start of the fourth quarter (Q4), the highest-intensity sales period of the year for brands on Amazon.
To avoid wasting advertising budget in a highly competitive environment, Kiliagon uses a three-stage full-funnel strategic framework.
Kiliagon's Full-Funnel Framework for Q4
1. Lead-up (Pre-event) | Awareness & Consideration
In the weeks before the event, consumers explore the catalog to identify products of interest. This is when high-impact formats such as HPTO (Homepage Takeover) campaigns are used to maximize brand visibility and build a profiled audience pool.
2. Peak (October 6-7) | Consideration & Conversion
During the 48-hour event, priority shifts to Sponsored Ads Dominance. Brands apply aggressive coverage to key search placements (Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display) to capture high-purchase-intent demand and increase the conversion rate (CVR).
3. Lead-out (Post-event) | Retargeting & Upselling
The days after the event are used to recover non-converting traffic. Through Amazon DSP (Demand-Side Platform), brands activate retargeting campaigns for users who visited product detail pages without buying, while developing cross-selling and upselling opportunities.
In summary
- Prime Big Deal Days 2026 will take place on October 6 and 7, 2026, for a total duration of 48 hours.
- The full-funnel strategy is divided into three stages: HPTO during Lead-up to generate awareness, aggressive Sponsored Ads during Peak and Amazon DSP retargeting during Lead-out.
