Shopping online on eCommerce sites is increasingly becoming popular due to discounts, access to goods from across the world, and easy payment and delivery options. You must have shopped online and would be familiar with the experience.
In this blog, we will discuss a special day called Cyber Monday. For online shopping enthusiasts, there is one day that stands out from the rest. Cyber Monday has become immensely popular in recent years. On this day, online retailers offer huge discounts.
It is generally on the first Monday after Thanksgiving in the United States. It was first introduced in 2005 to promote online shopping.
Read on to learn how you can make the most of a Cyber Monday by using some shopping tricks for the best savings.
It may happen that a Cyber Monday deal may look better than it actually is. To be sure, keep a track of products you want to buy for some period of time before Cyber Monday.
Compare the costs before and during Cyber Monday to determine the real deal. Also, keep a tab on the features you are getting, as it may be a different version of the same product.
You should download online retailers apps on your phones to get extra savings on your purchases. Some retailers offer more discounts on their apps than websites. They may also offer a discount or store credit, just on downloading them.
Many apps also offer extra loyalty reward points, which can be used for buying products later, after they reach certain milestones.
You may not be able to buy all the items you want in one go. So, make a list in a specific order of buying, depending on what you want first or which products are offering more discounts.
Making a list will help you in spending within your budget and avoid wasting time on the retailer app/website.
Most online retailers make use of social media to promote Cyber Monday offers discounts, and freebies. So, follow them on social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, X, or TikTok to know about Cyber Mondays.
You may get a link on their social media pages, which take you directly to the product page/s of their apps/websites. So, you need not worry about finding them.
Cyber Monday provides customers with a lot of joy, but it also provides hackers with an opportunity to steal information. Hence, you should make sure that your computer is free of spyware and wi-fi connection is secure.
You should avoid making purchases from computers other than your own and do not use wi-fi at a coffee outlet.
You may have a situation wherein many retailers are offering discounts on Cyber Monday at the same time. So, you need to do some research to get the best deals and maximum savings.
So, you need to spend some time on each
app or website of the eCommerce store, to figure out on which store to buy a particular product. Start early in the day to give yourself the maximum time of making purchases.
You may be getting a good discount on the product but if shipping is not included then it may not be a good deal. Most of the online retailers offer free shipping for products over a certain value.
So, you should ensure that you get free shipping for such products even in the case of Cyber Mondays. Add the product/s to your cart and check for any additional costs to know your true savings.
Almost all online retailers send newsletters to their customers on a regular basis. You can get details about discounts, offers for Cyber Monday. If you have the information a few days before Cyber Monday, you can decide on your buying list and budget.
However, you need to sign up for newsletters to be delivered to your email inboxes. So, if you have not signed up, do so much in advance.
It may happen that return policies may not be the same in case of Cyber Mondays as compared to regular days. So, you should check return policies for the product/s you are buying.
It may happen that you may not like the product after seeing it physically or it may be defective. In such a scenario, return policies will help you in getting the amount you have already paid refunded.
The number of products on sale is always limited and therefore you need to start early. If you are casual and log in a bit late, some of the best offers and discounts on products may get over.
Hence, you may not be able to get the best savings on a Cyber Monday. So, set aside everything else that is not important and shop early on Cyber Monday.
Bonus Tip: As most online retailers ask you to create an account and/or login, do so at least a couple of days in advance. Save your payment information like credit card details securely on their website/app for faster check out.
Now you are equipped with all the tips and tricks for Cyber Monday shopping for the best savings. So, prepare much before the actual event and reap the maximum benefits out of the occasion.
With eCommerce becoming increasingly popular, Cyber Mondays are here to stay. However, you need to be careful with the offers and be sure about hidden costs, if any. If you do your homework well, you can save a lot on a Cyber Monday!
