Business Insider and CNBC are reporting that Amazon is planning a second shopping event for its Prime subscribers later this year. CNBC quotes a notice saying it will happen in the fourth quarter, while Business Insider says it appears to be scheduled for October.

In October last year, Amazon hosted a beauty products event, so it isn't new. According to Business Insider, both the summer and fall sales will feature frenzied sales of TVs, sneakers, and other items. A request for comment was not replied to by Amazon.

This rumored second deals event could give the company a boost later this year as growth has slowed after surging early in the epidemic. According to The Wall Street Journal, Amazon has scaled back some of its promotion for the event as compared to previous years, and you won't be able to watch a Prime-exclusive Taylor Swift concert
