I just can’t wait for the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales this year! As a matter of fact, I spent the last 10 months of this saving up to make the most out of my laptop purchase. I’m pretty sure I can beat any scrolling LED sign when it comes to rushing into a store and grabbing my new laptop.
Before any outdoor scrolling LED sign lights up for the most awaited Black Friday sale, here are 3 practical tips that would help you get the best deals on the hottest gadgets this season:
Black Friday Gadget Buying Tip # 1 Know what you need
What you want is not always what you need. Keep in mind that there is a big difference between the two – and more often than not, it is a few hundred bucks. When buying electronic gadgets on Black Friday, make sure that these products suits your needs.
Laptops, tablets and smartphones are best viewed as investments. Aside from the hefty sum of money you pay to bring them home, you should also think about the costs that you might obtain in maintaining your electronic toys.
Remember that top of the line gadgets might need high-end accessories or spare parts when they’ve reached the end of their lifespan. If you are not sure whether your monthly budget can accommodate costly repairs, stick with a model that delivers nothing more than your needs.
Not sure what you need? Do some thorough research before the Black Friday sale hits. Aside from reading reviews online, you can ask your family and friends for advice especially if they already have a similar product. Weigh the suggestions and information you get before settling on a model that you think is right for you.
Black Friday Gadget Buying Tip # 2 Stay on the budget
Money doesn’t grow on trees. No matter how bad we wish for dollar bills to start sprouting out of leaves, they don’t and it will never probably happen. Buying what you can only afford is giving justice to your hard-earned money. But buying top of the line products is not bad at all. Just know that every purchase you make becomes your responsibility.
How can I stay on the budget? I’m pretty sure you’re asking yourself this very moment. And I have a couple of tips for you. Looking for the electronic gadget of your dreams should start months before the Black Friday sale. Once you’ve found the one, start looking for its regular price. This will give you a pretty good idea on how much to prepare. When the Black Friday season creeps in, start hunting for a deal on stores that carry the product. It is best to check the price in at least 3 stores so that you’ll be able to compare them. If your gadget is included in the sale, expect to spend way less than its original price. Keep an eye on the store and rush to get your hands on that coveted gadget on the big Black Friday or Cyber Monday sale.
Black Friday Gadget Buying Tip # 3
Make sure that after-sales support is available
In buying cameras or tablets, never think that you can fix them by yourself. Working for the manufacturer is of course an exception. But kidding aside, customer support is very important when buying electrical gadgets. Remember to ask about return and refund policies especially when you buy gadgets during the sale. Also, make sure that a user manual is included just in case you need more directions in setting up your purchase. Always keep the customer service hotline so that you can easily call the store or the manufacturer for assistance on warranty claims and other needs.
Are you ready to beat the opening of store signs and shop on Black Friday? I’d love to know what’s on your wish list this year so do leave me a comment below.
