Salesforce Serves Up Prime Day shopping data 

Salesforce is sharing key Canadian online sales data and analysis surrounding Amazon Prime Day. The results, taken from Prime Day on July 8-11, are based on the activity of 1.5 billion shoppers globally, across Commerce Cloud and other Salesforce products, and encompass retailers and brands outside of Amazon.

The clear takeaway is that Canadian shoppers are hunting for bargains. They are deal-focused and keep a keen eye on the retail landscape – including Amazon, and all other retailers – in the lead up to and during Prime Day.
