このコンテンツについて
Amazon has dominated headlines and ignited both Wall Street and Main Street with its relentless run of fall initiatives and a couple eyebrow-raising controversies this past week. The dust is still settling from October’s Prime Big Deal Days, the two-day event on October 7th and 8th that unofficially launched the holiday shopping season. According to Facteus, Amazon raked in 3.75 billion dollars over those two days, handily outpacing rivals Target and Walmart even as all three giants stacked their promotions. Amazon’s strategy again drove up average order values, thanks to smart cross-selling and bundling that funneled more shoppers into bigger carts. This year’s sales were especially notable for shifting more customers into the hundred dollar plus baskets, not just one-off impulse buys. In true Amazon fashion, there were still a handful of active “Prime Deals” lingering this week, especially on big-ticket tech and home items, although most major deals expired last week, as outlined in recent coverage by deal-focused outlets like Frugal Carrie and dozens of social creators on TikTok and Instagram.
Socially Powerful reports Amazon’s influencer program is hitting new highs with TikTok tastemakers and lifestyle creators feeding the FOMO—there have been millions of mentions and entire product lines have sold out purely on influencer recommendation. On the business side, Amazon cemented its status as the indispensable platform for sellers during its annual Accelerate 2025 event. The buzzword this year is “AI revolution,” and it’s not just hype. Amazon unveiled sweeping AI-powered seller tools, including Opportunity Explorer that flags untapped product demand, and turbocharged its fulfillment network for both small entrepreneurs and B2B brands, a move aimed at making Amazon the backbone of product launches and logistics everywhere. There’s palpable optimism, as over 55,000 sellers surpassed seven figures in sales last year, a milestone Amazon flaunted at the event.
But not all the news is celebratory. Amazon kicked off its latest seasonal hiring blitz, announcing the addition of 250,000 new jobs for the holidays—a bright spot in an otherwise gloomy retail employment landscape, noted by Straight Arrow News and echoed by eMarketer. These jobs span warehouse, logistics, and delivery, though the company faces pressure to prove its labor model is sustainable as broader holiday hiring numbers fall to their lowest since 2009. Meanwhile, CBS News spotlighted a fresh class-action lawsuit accusing Amazon of “fake sales” during Prime Day, claiming inflated reference prices mislead shoppers on true discounts. Amazon declined comment but maintains customers save billions on these events.
On the innovation front, the company continues to expand in both retail and pharmacy, following last year’s acquisition of PillPack and aggressive rollout of pharmacy services like RxPass. This dual play—Retail plus Healthcare—signals Amazon’s ambitions to redefine entire industries in its image, a move markets and competitors are scrambling to match. Anticipation is already building for Amazon’s next earnings report at the end of the month, with analysts from outlets like Market Minute and 24/7 Wall St. watching margins, growth velocity, and new business launches. The story of Amazon in recent days is one of scale, influence, disruption, but also scrutiny as it rides the razor edge of retail, technology, and regulation into the year’s end.
