Amazon 's fall Prime deals bonanza "outpaced" last year's event, the company said Thursday, as discount-hungry consumers got an early jump on holiday shopping.
It marks the second year Amazon has held the shopping event, which is a fall follow-up to the company's main Prime Day sale held in July.
"Prime Big Deal Days was a strong start to the holiday shopping season, offering Prime members an exclusive early opportunity to save and surpassing our expectations," Doug Herrington, CEO of Worldwide Amazon Stores, said in a statement.
"This event outpaced last year's holiday kick-off event, with more Prime members shopping this year."
Amazon typically uses its discount events for Prime members to run promotions on its devices.
