It’s that time of year again, Festive Season is upon us and we all know what that means… Black Friday sales are looming, but the big question is how are you preparing yourself for the biggest sale day of the year?
If you’re like us, you have a calendar countdown running, counting down the days until the biggest shopping day of the year is upon us.ย Black Friday is coming so we thought we’d share our top tips and tricks on getting yourself, and your shopping strategy prepared for the day.
Make a List and Check it Twice
With so many sales and so many savings, it’s easy to get distracted and lose track of what you’re hunting for. The easiest way we’ve found to avoid impulse purchases is to make a list of everything you need to purchase and stick to it. That being said, should you find that impressive zoom lens you’ve been eyeing for a while at a discount you just can’t pass up, why not spoil yourself and your kit. If not on Black Friday, then when?
Make Use of Website Wish Lists
Almost all e-commerce websites offer the option of adding items you’re coveting to a wish list for purchasing at a later stage. This function, in Black Friday times, can be your best friend.
Our second top tip is to transfer the list you’ve made as suggested in tip 1 to your very own online wish list across the sites selling your coveted items. On Orms Direct we offer you the option of easily transferring your coveted wish list items straight into your cart for quick and easy purchasing.
