This Hidden Section of Amazon Tells You What Products Are Trending
If you’re a frequent Amazon shopper (how did we ever survive without Prime?), you probably think you know every nook and cranny of the mega-website.
So it might shock you to learn that there’s a corner of Amazon you probably never knew existed. Amazon Movers & Shakers is a list of products that are the “biggest gainers in sales rank over the past 24 hours,” according to the site.
The site goes on to explain: “Movers & Shakers identifies the biggest gainers in sales rank compared to twenty four hours ago. For example, if a music item has a current sales rank of 10, but was ranked 30 twenty-four hours ago, its Movers & Shakers increase would be 200%.”
The listings, which are updated hourly, are divided into 39 categories, ranging from books, clothing, and electronics to Kindle store, magazine subscriptions, and Prime Pantry.
We think the page is a great way to browse various categories and see what other people are into at the moment. We took a look at the home section and found these popular gems. (Note: Prices were accurate at the time of writing.)
