Black Friday Sale is here. It's not really relevant to shoppers in India, but if you are eyeing some products on US shopping sites, 29 November is the day to get the best deals. However, sites like Amazon India and Myntra have a small percentage of Black Friday deals on their sites.
What exactly is Black Friday? It's the Friday after Thanksgiving, where shops offer great discounts in the run-up to Christmas shopping. People are already keeping a check on great offers and deals on various gadgets and other products they want to buy.
Some e-commerce giants have started offering good offers on selected products even before the Black Friday sales started.
People who want to buy amazing products this holiday season at a lower price than usual, here are some tips to keep a check on your favourite products before they go out-of-stock.
While many shoppers choose to use web browsers, it is actually easier to shop through shopping apps.
Firstly, download the apps of the e-commerce site of your choice such as Amazon, Flipkart, Snapdeal etc, from the Android Play Store or Apple App Store depending on your mobile phone.
It's better if you switch on the notification button as these online stores send a lot of notifications at the time of Black Friday sale. This will help you keep track of the discounts and offers being received on certain products.
To ensure you can grab deals as quickly as possible and save time, set up the payments and billing options beforehand so that you can quickly choose a product and check out. Look for the Black Friday sale page on the app and browse the sale listings for a quick overview. Also keep an eye out for Black Friday Sale ads.
These are some basic tips one must keep in mind before shopping in a Black Friday Sale or any other lightning deals that these sites come up with. Of course, ensure you have a fast internet connection as well.
