TV scenes of Black Friday showed carnage and shoppers wrestled for goods while UK retailers such as Tesco, Curry's, John Lewis and Argos recorded around £850m in sales. Alibaba's Singles Day topped over $9bn, prompting Amazon to pursue a larger share of the US's $2.4bn Black Friday market. Amazon announced the creation of 'Prime Day', scheduled for 15 July, offering thousands of discounted items exclusively to Prime members to recruit sign-ups. eBay and Walmart planned competing July promotions, with Walmart launching 2,000 online-exclusive rollbacks and criticizing Prime's $100 annual fee. Time-limited, heavily marketed discounts can yield substantial rewards.
