What is Black Friday ?

The day After Thanksgiving (Friday) is known as Black Friday. This
also is unofficially or officially start of holiday shopping season. Almost all
stores come out with Doorbuster Sales with early bird special to attract
consumers to their stores. People stand in line hours before store is opened, to
grab the bargain of the year. Almost every store has something that interests
every one. For bargain hunters, if there is a biggest festival in a year, that would
be, no doubt, the Black Friday. That being said, please note revenue wise this is
NOT the best day for stores. A couple of days before Christmas are the most
prominent day from revenue perspective. Additionally, Green Monday is another
big shopping day. Although Cyber Monday is relatively smaller shopping day but
is growing each year.

Browse the Deals Before You Go

you can get a good idea of what deals will be where well
before Black Friday shopping starts. Knowing which retailers are going to have
what on sale and when before the big day will help you decide where and when
you want to go, will help with budgeting, and will help you see who you have
left to shop for. As you browse the deals, make a list with the product, who it’s
for, the price, the location, and any special hours for the sale.

Compare Prices Before You Head Out

Shop around online to see what the average retail price of an item is before you
leave, so you can go to the store that is offering the best deal. Check to see
what usually comes with the item you are looking for, and what the store is
offering. Many stores offer”stripped down” versions of products, which means
you will have to spend money on accessories. Take time to see what
accessories you will need to determine if the deal is really worth it or not.

Do Your Research

If you are planning on making a special purchase of a big-ticket item based on
a Black Friday sale, it is important to remember to check consumer reports
and read consumer reviews of the item before you decide to make the
purchase. If the product is bad, just because you got it for cheap doesn’t make
it a good deal. Take the time to make sure it’s a quality product and worth
getting up early or staying up late for the price cut.
