Every year, Amazon sellers tackle diverse challenges, from keeping up with the latest trends to managing inventory and ensuring customer satisfaction. As a new year begins, taking note of the 2025 ecommerce calendar is one way to ensure your business runs efficiently and is ready for growth. Thankfully, we have prepared a detailed calendar that will help you plan months in advance and take advantage of certain holidays and seasons to maximize sales throughout the year. If you’re ready for 2025, read on to find out some notable dates for Amazon that will help you plan, stay organized, and beat your competitors to it.
The beginning of the year presents an opportunity for sellers to capitalize on "New Year, New Me" resolutions. You can take advantage of this and offer promotions on health, fitness, and organization products. Martin Luther King Jr. Day provides an occasion to reflect on themes of equality and justice. You can consider running promotions or themed marketing campaigns centered around diversity and inclusion. After the holidays from the previous year, you also want to process post-holiday returns in January.
Despite being one of the shortest months of the year, February is loaded with lots of activities from Black History Month to the Chinese New Year, the Super Bowl, and Valentine’s Day. While love is in the air in February, you can also leverage sales opportunities. As an Amazon FBA seller, you can target gift-worthy items, such as jewelry, chocolates, flowers, or personalized gifts, to cater to Valentine's Day shoppers. If you sell items for the Super Bowl, you can create advertising campaigns that cater to enthusiasts and maximize sales in February.
You can celebrate the achievements of women worldwide on International Women’s Day and empower female consumers with special promotions and discounts on women-centric products. If you sell decorations, travel items, and pool party decorations, then get ready to maximize sales in Spring.
While April Fools' Day is a traditional sales event, you can run creative marketing campaigns or lighthearted promotions that can engage your customers and add a playful touch to your brand. If you sell pet products, you can take advantage of National Pet Day and offer promotions that cater to your customer’s furry friends. As the month comes to a close, you want to prep your Amazon store for the Easter holidays on April 20th. Earth Day is also a great opportunity to promote your eco-friendly products as you emphasize the need to protect our planet.
May begins with happy celebrations on May 5 (Cinco De Mayo). If you sell party supplies or margarita glasses, this may be a great opportunity to see a slight boost in sales.

June is another month of festivities with Flag Day, and Father’s Day. Similar to Mother's Day, Father’s Day presents an opportunity to boost sales by offering promotions on gifts for dads, such as gadgets, tools, or outdoor gear. As the month ends, you want to prepare for Prime Day. At this time, you also want to review your performance for the first half of the year.
If you sell flags, this is the month you’ve been waiting for. With Canada Day on July 1st and America’s Independence Day on July 4th, you can run promotions and offer patriotic products. Prime Day, Amazon's annual sales event exclusively for Prime members, typically occurs in July. Prepare well in advance by optimizing your listings, stocking up inventory, and leveraging Amazon Advertising to maximize visibility and sales during this peak shopping period.
During this period, you also want to do an inventory check for the back-to-school season and prepare for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
As students prepare to return to school, capitalize on the increased demand for school supplies, backpacks, electronics, and dorm room essentials. Plan promotions and targeted advertising campaigns to reach students, parents, and educators.
