Last year, Amazon's Prime Day results were lukewarm across the board with sellers seeing a 1.5x - 2x increase in sales except for a select few.

How was this year's Prime Day?

Well, Amazon claims that Prime Day 2025 was the biggest prime day ever compared to previous years. But is it really?

With Prime Day done and dusted, Dave reveals his brands' revenue numbers during the big shopping holiday to share how his experience was.

Dave also shares how 10 anonymous brands from various revenue numbers did during Prime Day, with data taken from SellerSnooper. Are Amazon's claims BS? Or are they technically correct? We find out in today's episode.
