According to a preliminary look at Amazon’s results from its Prime Day, the company said on Wednesday that this year’s Prime Day topped its previous record. A report from CNBC said, “That compares with last year, when Amazon said sales grew more than 60 percent during the event, breaking a record at the time and surpassing Amazon's Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales combined. The company had also added "tens of millions of Prime members" to its platform—helping it surpass 100 million people for the first time earlier this year.

Industry analysts had been anticipating Amazon could ring up at least $3.6 billion in sales globally through midnight Tuesday.

Many of Amazon's in-house brands, for everything from coffee to clothes and furniture, were also discounted heavily.” Click here to read the full story from CNBC.
