Prime day has become an anticipated event for the modern world! It is a perfect time to purchase the items that you have had your eye on for a while at a much lower cost.
While it is amazing to shop at Amazon because of the convenience, keep in mind the businesses that are located right in your neighborhood. Choosing a small business in your community can make a large impact that we often overlook.
It has become an unspoken tradition that many businesses will run sales during Prime day to compete with Amazon and also join in on the fun.
