TIPS TO GET THE BEST DEALS ON BLACK FRIDAY 2022
You need to consider these tips for a perfect deal and decision.
1. Make a List
If you are interested in Black Friday deals, you need to start now to make a list of items you want to buy or places you want to travel. It’s from this list that you have an idea of what you want to buy so you look out for them straight away without beating around the bush.
For instance, you want to buy a smartphone and a power bank, what you need to do now is write them down according to priority so that on the D-day, you just take your list and search for that particular smartphone and Power Bank instead of waiting for that day and making unnecessary decisions.
2. Set a Budget
As someone that is going to the market, you need to set a budget and make it tally with the stuffs you want to pay for. Just get the normal price of the stuff you want to pay for and set your budget on it knowing that you will have some money left after buying with the discount rate.
3. Shop As Early As Possible
Experience has taught me that early buyers gets the best deals on Black Friday because all the awesome offers are still fresh and available. But if you waste time before buying, you may find out that the best discounts has gone.
In fact, here is a tip; in most stores or companies, Black Friday sales starts at Thursday midnight so you have to keep tabs of that.
4. Get Newsletters and Email Notifications
Once major way of keeping tracks of the market progress and information is to sign up to newsletters and email of your preferred shopping website.
This way, you get first hand information on all developments and when the best deals are listed. You should also visit the shopping page for latest and best offers.
5. Use Gift Cards And Discount Codes
Some stores gives discount codes as well as gift cards to their esteemed customers. Now, you can use this to get even more unbelievable discounts on Black Friday. Isn’t that amazing?
6. Avoid Buying Fake Products
They may boast the same brand name, but not all electronics are created equally. “Do a quick Google or amazon search on the brand and model number to see what turns up,” says Jon Vincent, co-founder of EarlyBlackFriday.com.
He admits he’s been duped in the past by a Black Friday deal on a web cam that was an inferior model lacking the standard model’s features. “A hint that it’s a Black Friday special model is that it’s brand-new on Best Buy’s website and it has no reviews from other shoppers.”
7. Compare Prices Of Products
Is the price really as low as it seems? Or was it that low just a month ago? “Some stores will return Black Friday products to MSRP before the Black Friday sales, so you’ll also want to check the item on camelcamelcamel to see the price history on Amazon,” says Lindsay Sakraida, director of content marketing at DealNews. “While Amazon is only one store, it will give you a good sense for whether the item has typically been cheaper in the past.”
8. Don’t Forget About Travel
“Most consumers don’t immediately connect travel deals with Black Friday,” says Evan Crawford, regional marketing director for San Antonio’s Hotel Contessa.
“But some of the best savings during Black Friday through Cyber Monday actually come from hotel and travel industry.” For example, Arik Air offers discounts on travels booked on Black Friday so you see it’s another amazing opportunity to harness.
Conclusion
Black Friday is not just the best shopping day of the year but also the best day to book your flight ticket and pay for hotel bookings and other rentals.
