Despite server overload that caused shopping downtime, last week’s Amazon Prime Day was the biggest sales day in company history, surpassing Cyber Monday, Black Friday and last year’s Prime Day, which held the previous top sales record. Prime offered more than a million deals worldwide, exclusively to Prime members. During this year’s event, Prime members bought more than 100 million different products, including best sellers like the Fire TV stick with Alexa voice remote and Echo Dot. For the first time, Prime members also enjoyed a week of savings at Whole Foods Market with organic strawberries being the best-selling product.
