Some Things That Retailers Don’t Tell You about Black Friday
The day after Thanksgiving Day is known as Black Friday. The retail stores try to make up for their losses by not offering their products for a loss, but by using super low prices to entice you into their stores, where they may use some dirty tricks to increase their sales. However, with some intelligent planning and some secrets, Black Friday will not be as rewarding for the retail store and will be rewarding for you.
Here are some things that retailer don’t they don’t tell you about Black Friday:
? You should use your mobile phone browser to check product quality and the deals at other retail stores. There are standard websites such as PriceGrabber.com, Shopping.com, and BizRate.com where you can check just how good prices are. There are times when the prices on Black Friday can be beat on the Internet.
? You should shop in teams to beat the retail stores. Retail stores depend on the use of tricks, from low inventories to limited sale hours to lure you into their stores without providing you with the time to compare the prices at other retail stores for the product that you want at the lowest price. When each retail store opens, you should have one team member there with list of what products everyone wants to purchase. You can set up to broadcast SMS with Joopz.com. The team member finds all of the products on the list, they broadcast its pricing. The person at the store that has the lowest price that product purchases it.
? You should get the lowest prices by knowing the return policies and the price match system. Most retail stores have a return policy that if they reduce the price, the difference will later be refunded to you when you ask for the difference back. If you know which product that you want to purchase and can find a store that has a guaranteed price match system that honors Black Friday prices, you should purchase it. That way, on Black Friday you can find the lowest price, and not have to worry about the retail store being out of stock. If the retail store will refund the difference between the price on Black Friday and its normal price, you should purchase it early for the same reason.
? Many retail stores us bait and switch scams on Black Friday deals. They may sell you a very inexpensive product and then add over priced add ons such as accessories, software or a very expensive warranty as a necessary but unadvertised part of the deal. Usually, you only find this out when you go to the register. If, for any reason, the price at the register is considerable higher than advertised price, you should speak to a supervisor and insist that you should only have to pay the price that was advertised. If they refuse, tell them that you intend to write the attorney general a letter.
? Most of the deals on Black Friday are leaked early onto the Internet. You should check the websites that have leaked their Black Friday information and advertisements and provide yourself with the advantage over the crowds. The four best websites are: blackfriday.info, halackfridayads.com, gottadeal.com, and badfads.net. Usually many of these websites will send you an email whenever they post new information or a new advertisement. Some even have mobile phone versions of the website for referring while you are shopping in their retail stores.
