Server Crash Sales

eBay's Crash Sale Will Offer Unmissable Deals if Amazon Crashes on Prime Day

— June 26, 2019 — Marketing
On July 15th, Amazon is planning to kick off its two-day Prime Day sale and to challenge this, eBay will be launching a site-wide Crash Sale on the same day. eBay's cheekily named sale references the fact that in 2018, Amazon's website experienced a heavy amount of online traffic and quickly crashed as soon as Prime Day started. With its 2019 Crash Sale, eBay is promising "an additional wave of can't-miss deals if Amazon crashes that day."

While eBay's July events give online shoppers the chance to save money all month long, the ecommerce giant is promising even more great deals to challenge one of its biggest competitors. For its Crash Sale, eBay is promising up to 50% off on top brands and other "too-good-to-be-true deals."
Trend Themes
1. Competitive Sales Events - eBay's Crash Sale is part of a growing trend of online marketplaces launching competitive sales events to challenge their competitors, such as Amazon's Prime Day.
2. Anticipatory Marketing Tactics - eBay's Crash Sale takes advantage of the possibility of Amazon's website crashing on Prime Day, showcasing the trend of brands leveraging potential disruptions to drive sales.
3. Increased Focus on Customer Savings - eBay's Crash Sale highlights the trend of ecommerce platforms offering additional deals and discounts to attract customers and provide them with even more savings.
Industry Implications
1. Ecommerce - The ecommerce industry can benefit from launching competitive sales events and leveraging potential disruptions to drive consumer engagement and sales.
2. Online Marketplaces - Online marketplaces like eBay are finding innovative ways to challenge their competitors and attract customers through events like Crash Sale.
3. Retail - The retail industry can adopt a more customer-centric approach by offering additional deals and discounts to enhance customer savings and drive sales.
