5 Best Black Friday Deals that Will Make Your Month
Black Friday is big business in South Africa. The American-born commercial holiday celebrated annually on the day after Thanksgiving has gained significant local traction in recent years. From revenue of just under R2.5billion in 2017, to almost R2.9billion in 2018, last year saw total South African spend on Black Friday more than double to a whopping R6billion.
But, while many deals in years gone by have been exclusive to brick-and-mortar stores, according to Matthew Leighton from OneDayOnly.co.za. this year is likely to be a little different as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. “It’s safe to say that most consumers will be choosing to shop online this year, based on the recent boom South African eCommerce has experienced.”
“But with everyone going online this year, the virtual Black Friday competition is going to be fierce,” notes Leighton. To help shoppers avoid disappointment, he shared the following quick tips:
Do your due diligence
Novice online buyers and not-so-seasoned Black Friday shoppers should get to grips with online shopping before Black Friday, to avoid performance anxiety. Familiarise yourself with the website you’ll be shopping on the day before, and don’t forget to log in and pre-load your payment details — that way you can save valuable time and focus all your energy on the deals when they are released.
Have a plan
With so many deals being advertised and promoted on the day, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. The best way to ensure you stay focussed and get the best deals is to create an ordered list of the items you want from high priority to low. This will enable you to keep track of what you want so you’re not wasting time or getting distracted.
Check out or miss out
With so many shoppers looking for the best deal, if you don’t click that check out button as soon as you’re done filling your cart, it’s very likely that someone else may be eyeing the same thing as you, at the same time. At the end of the day, stocks are limited when it comes to these amazing deals, and having an item in your cart does not secure it. You need to check out or miss out.
To get the best deals with One day Only online this year make sure you download the new One Day Only app. Get real-time notifications on your phone to ensure you don’t miss out on any great deals, and with discounts reaching up to 100% off on Black Friday, quick and easy access could be the difference between sealing that deal.
