All shopaholics froze in anticipation – tomorrow is Black Friday! This shopping holiday appeared in the U.S. in the sixties of the last century, when Christmas sales started from the first Friday after Thanksgiving in all stores. In order to get a good start to the trade, and to attract shoppers to their stores, sellers began to compete in the best offer for buyers. As a result, even now, on the first day of sales, stores give the biggest discount, open earlier, close later – or even welcome visitors around the clock!
This tradition was adopted in Europe as well, and today every girl knows that Black Friday means discounts in clothing stores and not only, but also disappointments associated with the fact that it was not possible to buy something really necessary in the turmoil. Therefore, today we will talk about how to properly plan your wish list, what to buy, and how to keep up with everything. Let’s go!
HOW TO PLAN YOUR SHOPPING PRIOR TO BLACK FRIDAY?
The first thing you need to do is get ready. Today is the Thursday before online and offline stores go on a rampage with flashy calls for discounts. Be warned – your eyes will run wide! So, it is important to approach the issue consciously and draw up a clear shopping plan:
Write down all clothes that you personally lack. This is a reason to reconsider your wardrobe – maybe you have a skirt that you can’t combine with the other items?
Now think about your family and friends. Maybe your mother needs a new shawl for a long time, and your sister wears a sweater that is out of fashion – maybe it’s time to find a worthy replacement for it? Put it on the list too.
Think about other areas of your life. Black Friday has long captured the world of trade – so there can be good discounts on cosmetics, furniture, and appliances.
After you make a list of desired purchases, highlight those items that you would buy even without discounts – for example, a hat or a dress for a New Year’s corporate party. Focus on them in your search. By the way, don’t throw away the list after Black Friday – firstly, because Cyber Monday is coming, where you can buy everything that you didn’t buy on Black Friday, and secondly, this is a ready-made list of gifts for the relatives and yourself for the New Year holidays!
WHAT TO BUY ON THIS DAY?
We have collected the recommendations of stylists, professional buyers and just experienced shopaholics:
Hot trends. Fashion is fleeting, and therefore it makes no sense to invest a lot of money in hype pieces – on this day you can get them cheaply and shine on the crest of fashion for another six months!
Classic and basic stuff. Here the situation is reversed – such clothes are always relevant, and therefore worth all the investments. And you can save money during the period of discounts – why not treat yourself with a really good clothing item that you will wear for years?
Clothing for home, hobbies and sports. Usually our girls remember what they wear to work, but they completely forget that their pajamas are already full of spools, and it would be nice to buy new trousers for the gym. Take a close look at clothes that needs updating – and add it to the shopping list.
New Year gifts. Choose gifts for yourself, your relatives, colleagues, friends – and buy a couple more in case of unexpected guests. Why run around the shops at breakneck speed on the eve of the holidays, if you can think about it now and buy pleasant surprises at pleasant prices?
HOW TO BUY THE PRODUCT YOU LIKE?
Most likely, if you followed our recommendations, you have an impressive list. Well, we continue to distribute tips for smart and efficient shopping!
Take a look which category you have more products from – let’s say it will be J clothing.
Choose an online women’s clothing store where the goods from your wish list “live”.
Choose and put the pieces you like in the basket, or bookmark them in the browser.
Repeat the same with a few more online stores, because many websites on Black Friday fall under the attack of buyers, and goods are sold out very quickly – otherwise you will have the opportunity to play it safe.
Take a look at your list and think about which of the malls in your city can offer everything that you could not find online.
You’re all set! Now, as soon as sales start, place orders quickly, get goods from your bookmarks or basket, then go to work, and in the evening visit the selected shopping center, and buy everything you need.
We wish you successful shopping and wonderful mood!
