Welcome to GetMojo, we do the research so you don’t have to! In this video, we’re offering our picks for the 5 best tips for winning on Black Friday. Everyone loves a sale, and thanks to its typically generous discounts, Black Friday is one of the most frantic shopping days of the year. In fact, it can be quite overwhelming. Who’s selling what, who’s got the best deals? Well, not to worry, we’re here to help. We’ve put together a list of our top tips to help finesse your deal-finding skills. Okay, first up.

Research, Research, Research

We know, sounds obvious, right? But delving into deals without knowledge of the item you’re looking at and its pricing history can be very problematic. When a great offer pops up, you need to act fast, but you also don’t want to end up buying something that’s A, not the right fit for you, or B, isn’t really that much cheaper than usual. So it’s essential that you know exactly what you’re after before you start deal diving. And that brings us to our next tip…

Know the Lifecycles

We all love having the most up to date tech, but just because a device is a year or so old, doesn’t mean it’s not worth having. And that’s super important to remember as a lot of products, especially tech, work on a one year lifecycle. So, while some are scrambling to buy the latest phone, tablet or TV from a brand, you can nab the slightly older version of those models at a discounted price. Just make sure you’re up to speed on the current hierarchy of which model is the most recent, and which model has recently been superseded.

Make a Wishlist

With deals flying all over the place on Black Friday, it can be tough to keep track of the items you’re actually going after. And that’s where wishlists come in. A lot of websites, including Amazon, let you set up a wishlist of your favorite items when shopping, allowing you to quickly check up on what deals are available with them. You can even receive notifications when the items on this list are reduced in price. A wishlist is great for helping you stick to a budget too, and avoid getting carried away by buying things you don’t need!

Use Social Media

Your social channels can be endlessly useful when it comes to sharing deals with friends - but the biggest boon of social media is that it allows you to keep up-to-date on a brand or store’s latest deals. The likes of Facebook and Instagram are ideal platforms for brands to show off their latest offerings, and for other websites to talk about them, so be sure to keep an eye on their feeds by liking, following and subscribing so that you can be one of the first to pounce.

Don't Forget About Cyber Monday

Black Friday used to be all about in-store buying, with Cyber Monday, a few days later, representing the online purchases side of things. But the lines are much more blurred nowadays. So essentially, Cyber Monday is just like another Black Friday, which means it’s an opportunity to hunt down deals you may have missed the first time around. Cyber Monday can be a bit unpredictable deal wise, but that’s part of the fun. A 10% discount you may have missed on Friday, may be 20 or 30% on Monday! So how do you come out on top on Black Friday? Well, essentially, preparation is key. It will help you out massively if you know what you’re looking for and what kind of price represents a good deal for that product. Giving yourself a budget can really help too, because with so many deals popping up left, right and center, you may find yourself getting a little trigger-happy. Stay tuned to GetMojo for all the latest buying tips and the most complete video product reviews!
