Prime Day does not mean every owned store should discount. This lesson helps you judge marketplace pressure before choosing Borrow, Defend, Counter-position, Harvest, or Sit out.
A 12-lesson ecommerce event marketing series that turns campaigns into an operating system: event fit, annual calendars, marketplace response paths, offer guardrails, creative calendars, feed readiness, landing pages, media pacing, cultural localization, owned channels, compliance risk, and post-event reuse.

- 4Re-check the Prime Day wording boundary
- 5Separate UTM / GA4 attribution contamination
Public core framework
- Do not start with the discount. Decide whether the store should defend branded and returning demand, borrow the shopping mindset, counter-position, harvest warm audiences, or sit out the low-price fight, then write Amazon substitute pressure, margin,…
- If the path is Borrow, define the banner, real countdown, discount, free-shipping threshold, gift, gift card, or next-order credit. Every benefit needs Shopify discount, shipping, stock, fulfillment, and support evidence.
