Looking forward to Amazon Black Friday offers? There are thousands of deals to compete for this year, if not more, but shoppers now need to start planning to get the best deals.
To put it lightly, Amazon's Black Friday event started at the beginning of this year will be competitive-not just because of supply chain disruptions and shortages of microchips. The goal of Amazon's Black Friday is to provide the best prices for top electronic products, games, clothing, beauty products, etc.
Shoppers need to shop wisely to get these offers. In order to point you in the right direction, here are six ways to save a lot of money in Amazon Black Friday transactions.
It is always recommended to shop early during the holidays. This year, it is almost necessary because it is becoming increasingly difficult to determine which products will be available on Black Friday.
Instead of venturing late in the holidays, shoppers are now researching products and taking advantage of Amazon’s temporary sales. Some transactions are currently impressive-not to mention that they are now in stock-so many shoppers have already completed their purchases.
Another way for shoppers to get ahead of Amazon's Black Friday sale is through the BestReviews email newsletter, which sends out transaction and shopping tips. Not only is it worth subscribing to the newsletter in time for the Black Friday sale. BestReviews sends professional shopping tips and offers throughout the year to help shoppers get the most money from Amazon and other retailers.
Epic Daily Deals started on October 4th, the early beginning of Amazon's Black Friday sales. Although many shoppers usually wait until Black Friday to get the best prices, the online retailer is using steep discounts to incentivize shopping earlier than usual, which can be as high as 60% or more. For shoppers who are curious about whether it is worth the transaction-whether it is now or Black Friday-they can look up the price history of a product on Amazon's price tracker CamelCamelCamel.
It turns out that Amazon’s holiday gift guide is an indispensable resource for quickly finding the best price. They are displayed as shoppable parts based on product category, age, price, and even small businesses and Amazon Launchpad products. Amazon is currently focusing on customers' favorite gifts, and this page contains about 100 most popular gifts. The products in these gift guides are either on sale now or are expected to go on sale sometime before Black Friday.
Alexa is the ultimate assistant for Amazon shopping, helping users find transactions without having to scroll endlessly. Shoppers just ask, "Alexa, what offers do I have?" Listen to a list of selected transactions based on shopping interests and past purchases. In previous years, Alexa shared exclusive or early access deals with shoppers. And since Amazon adds new offers almost every minute, it’s worth interacting with Alexa regularly to get hold of Black Friday sales and other offers before then.
Amazon shoppers are adding products to their shopping carts, even if they have not yet started selling. Although it looks like they are going overboard, this is actually a wise shopping strategy.
As soon as the product is launched, the new price will be reflected in the shopping cart, and it is easy to check out within a few seconds. Otherwise, Amazon shoppers need to complete the entire process of finding the product, selecting the color or size, adding it to the shopping cart, and then completing the purchase. It may not take too long to complete these tasks quickly, but in these precious few seconds, popular products may be sold out.
To save money when shopping on Black Friday, shoppers should send gifts directly to recipients. Prime shoppers are eligible for free shipping on millions of products. Even if the cost of gift packaging is increased, it is still cheaper than individual packaging and mailing. To make it easier to give gifts, Amazon recently announced that their mobile app can now send gifts to recipients, including when the sender only knows the recipient’s email address or mobile phone number.
Although shoppers won’t know about Amazon’s Black Friday deals until the day of the event, last year’s trends may indicate which ones might be reduced in price. From toys to electronics, here are some of the top products that shoppers hope to release on November 26.
