7 small businesses to support this Amazon Prime Day
Our team is dedicated to finding and telling you more about the products and deals we love. If you love them too and decide to purchase through the links below, we may receive a commission. Pricing and availability are subject to change.
While you may think of Amazon as a retailer for big brands like Cuisinart, Revlon and Apple, the site works with brands of all sizes. This Prime Day, Amazon even has a section dedicated to deals from small businesses.
The small business section features lightning deals, which are deals that take place for a short amount of time, usually a few hours. Most deals have a limit as to how many products can be bought at that low price too, so if you see something you want on sale, you should shop it ASAP.
Amazon Prime Day runs from Oct. 13 to 14, and features deals on home, tech, beauty, fashion and more. If you’re not an Amazon Prime member, you can still sign up for a free trial to take advantage of all of the deals.
But Prime Day or not, it’s always good to support small businesses. Below are just a handful of our favorites available on Amazon that you can shop from this Prime Day and beyond.
