Is Handmade doing anything for Prime Day?
Just curious if Handmade has any plans for Prime Day this year? I haven't really seen any information come out from Handmade team about it, and the last time a Handmade newsletter was sent out was in May.
Really feels like Amazon has completely forgotten about Handmade lately.

Hey @Seller_Gd8HNmQJSr4l8, rest assured that Amazon has not forgotten about Handmade! Not to mention our Business team is hard at work preparing to make the most of Prime Day event!
Regarding the email communications, the June Newsletter and a communication regarding Prime Day and Deals was sent in the last two weeks, did you receive either of them?

I did not seem to receive a June Newsletter, and don't see one listed in the Handmade Hub either.

@priscilla_amazonI did get the June newsletter, but it just had really the most generic things like "make sure you have inventory!" There was nothing specific about this Prime Day except for the teaser that more info was coming - but I haven't gotten any further info.
It might be too late now, but if you could share that info that supposed to be coming, that would be great. Thanks!

By the lack of response, I am going to say that there is nothing out of the ordinary being done for handmade. If it is, it is being kept a "secret". The newsletter vaguely alluded to more info but nothing has been posted or talked about.

Happy Prime Day Makers!
Hope everyone is having a delightful day and awesome Prime!
For Prime, Handmade sellers are featured on many deal pages for Prime Day Deals, Coupons, Prime Exclusive Discounts and Lightning deals. As well as a homepage placement and Prime Day banners leading to these deals (mobile and desktop).
Best regards and happy selling!

Just some things that I have noticed about this Prime Day.
There is not a single mention of anything Handmade on the first page of Prime Day that I could see and I looked multiple times.
Prime Day Deals / Prime Exclusive Discounts / Lightning Deals are only for those handmade sellers that are Prime or FBA. What about all of the handmade sellers items that are not eligible for Prime or FBA as we make our items to the customers specific desires?
As for myself, I make custom personalized items so I will never be considered for Prime or FBA because I do not mass produce any items and it takes me more than 2 minutes to throw an item in a box and slap a shipping label on it. So for those of us that actually have made to order items we are are excluded from 75% of the featured deal pages and ads that you mentioned. What does that leave?
Coupons... I am running coupons on every item in my shop right now but less than 30% of our customers are using them. Why? Are they even visible to customers? It would appear not as most customers are not using them. I do believe that every single person who had the option to take 8% off of an item would do it instantly if it was actually shown to them.
