An annual shopping tradition that has grown exponentially popular not just in North America, but across the globe, even shoppers on local shores can now gear up for the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals for 2024.
Thanksgiving may not necessarily make sense in the context of Southeast Asians, what with it being a specifically American celebration. With that said the more consumer-orientated, consumer-driven practice of partaking in Black Friday is decidedly more globally renowned, given its prominence among international retailers.
Typically falling on the first Friday after Thanksgiving, Black Friday typically marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season, with brands usually offering their best discounts to lure in customers before the end of the business year. Such is the case for Cyber Monday, which gained traction during the Dot Com boom at the turn of the new millennium with the emergence of online shopping.
If you’re keen on spending some of your hard-earned Ringgit for Black Friday and Cyber Monday this year, you won’t be short on choices as plenty of brands are prepared to take on considerable price reductions for their best-selling goods. But if you want to make the most out of your discounts, here are a few tips that may help you out:
- Obviously, look up when Black Friday and Cyber Monday campaigns are expected to start. Typically, Black Friday takes place on the first Friday after Thanksgiving, which in this case means 29th November 2024. Cyber Monday is expected to fall on 2nd December 2024.
- Register for brand-specific member accounts a week or two before Black Friday, as members typically enjoy early access to deals before the general public.
- Create a list of items you know you want for Black Friday, so you don’t lose sight of what you’re shopping for when the sales begin. Be sure to also include their original retail prices, so you know you’re not being ripped off!
- Utilise price-checking tools like CamelCamelCamel to ensure that the prices aren’t being artificially inflated during Black Friday.
- Prioritise brands that offer price match guarantee policies, so you won’t run the risk of buying anything at a higher price during Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
