Top Cyber Monday Shopping Tips

Didn’t get what you wanted on Black Friday? Prefer shopping at home in your pajamas? Regardless of your motivation, Cyber Monday can be a wonderful opportunity to get great deals without braving the crowds. Shopping online is convenient, but saving big still requires some strategy. Below, we’ll share four of our top tips for shopping on Cyber Monday. If you plan to shop Black Friday too, be sure to check out our 5 Crucial Black Friday Shopping Tips!

Do Your Research Ahead of Time

Doing your research ahead of time can make it easier to act fast on the big day. To prepare, you may want to research what deals retailers have offered in years past, their shipping costs, and their return policies. Knowing more about the retailers you’re likely to purchase from can save you valuable seconds to help you snag the best deals.

Sign Up to Receive Information from your Favorite Retailers

Retailers may give subscribers and followers a heads-up on upcoming sales, so signing up to receive information can be an easy way to get an inside track. You might sign up for text messages and emails to get the latest updates. And don’t forget to follow your favorite retailers on social media. Retailers may post Cyber Monday updates on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other social media platforms.

Check Your Favorite Websites Often

Some websites introduce new deals in the days leading up to Cyber Monday an/or throughout the day during the event. Checking back frequently can help you spot the best deals before they sell out.

Keep Track of What You Buy

Shopping online is incredibly convenient, but it does have one major downside. Since you don’t immediately have the products in your possession, it’s all too easy to overbuy without even noticing. That’s why it’s important to keep track of your purchases. Write them down on a sheet of paper or in a spreadsheet to make sure you don’t get in too deep.

Saving money on Cyber Monday is exciting, but don’t let the excitement blind you to standard guidelines for shopping safely online. Only shop at websites you trust, avoid using public Wi-Fi when entering payment information, and make sure any website you shop at is secure.
