Amazon kicks off New Year with sale on products for a fresh start
Amazon has already been having a busy holiday season. While the e-tail giant did not release specific sales figures, it said customers saved "billions" of dollars during its Black Friday Week and Cyber Monday holiday shopping event, which was its biggest ever compared to the same 12-day period ending on Cyber Monday in prior years.

The company also hosted two early holiday events – Prime Big Deal Days and the Holiday Beauty Haul. And for the first time during the 2024 holiday season, customers were able to visit Amazon’s Virtual Holiday Shop.
The retailer leveraged its Amazon Beyond 3D immersive platform to provide 3D visual and interactive content within the virtual store environment that includes seasonal music, animations and a guided shopping experience.
Other special Amazon online holiday shopping features included a dedicated storefront for items from small businesses, including Black-owned, woman-owned, and military family-owned businesses; as well as a curated Oprah’s Favorite Things gift guide.
