Though Amazon said that Prime Day sales surpassed Black Friday or 2014, a lot of the chatter around the sale event was negative or bland, according to Talkwalker.
From July 13 through the afternoon of July 15, Talkwalker tracked 79,903 mentions of the #PrimeDay hashtag on social media. The hashtag received 50,212 engagements (such as re-tweets, shares and mentions).
