Didn’t get all the things you were hoping to buy on Black Friday? Fear not, Cyber Monday offers plenty of more deals. And you don’t have to leave your desk to score the best ones. Here are tips to help you navigate this Cyber Monday.
Always check price history
The ability to check historical pricing data is easily one of the abilities of Cyber Monday that makes it a little easier to navigate than Black Friday and non-online deals. In fact, it’s a good rule when buying anything online. If you’re partaking in a Cyber Monday deal from a non-Amazon site and unsure how good a deal is, it’s still a good idea to look up the product on an ecommerce site and check the pricing history. If nothing else, this can help you establish a good price comparison.
Ignore the myths
Several myths have emerged over the 12 years Cyber Monday has been around. Myth like Cyber Monday is online-only. While that may have been true in the past, Cyber Monday has now gained the respect and attention of brick and mortar retailers all around, and many deals can also be found in-store.
Scout for leaked Cyber Monday ads
Just because you have the comfort of shopping from your phone or computer doesn’t mean you have the luxury of taking your time to find deals. While there are no physical lines of people to fight through, the very best deals will disappear very quickly and you’ll need to be quick on the draw to score big. One way to do that is to search for leaked Cyber Monday deals and ads. Some retailers willingly release deals ahead of Cyber Monday. But you’ll have to keep an eye out for leaked ads and deals from other retailers.
Many Black Friday deals will carry over
If you missed a slashed price on an item you were hoping to buy on Black Friday, you’re not entirely out of luck. Many of the Black Friday deals are carrying over into Cyber Monday.
Scour deals websites
When Monday comes around, you could spend hours searching for the best deals. But not leave it to the people whose job it is to find the best deals around the web every day?
Follow companies on social media
One of the best places to get information on the best deals of Cyber Monday is social media. Like all your favourite retailers on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.
