5 Clever Tips To Make Sure You Get The Best Possible Deal This Cyber Week
Planning on spending big this Cyber Week?
Cyber Week can be a bit overwhelming with the number of deals that are on offer and are being promoted. Sometimes there can be some conflicting offers available and it can be hard to know just how much you're saving.
So, here are our 5 best tips to make sure you're getting the best possible deal.
1. Subscribe to email alerts
During the lead-up to Cyber Week most brands will send out emails announcing all of their big offers, so it's worth making sure that you've signed up to their mailing lists.
We'll also be sending you emails (sometimes it even includes exclusive pre-sale access!) so deffo keep an eye out for our emails too.
2. Have push notifications of your favourite shopping apps turned on
Likewise, push notifications are a really effective way to see what the best deals are. If you like to do your online shopping straight from your phone, make sure you have the apps of all of your fave brands and have push notifications on to be directly alerted when a big discount is happening.
Make sure you have the Student Beans app too, as we'll be sending live updates for flash sales, latest releases and BF live sales, summing up what's worth checking out.
3. Make a list of what you want in advance
Cyber Week is a really good time to get your hands on something that you might not be able to justify getting at any other time of the year because of the cost, such as tech items with a higher price tag.
Do your research before Black Friday sales begin to see how much things cost regularly and what you'd like to look out for in the sales, so it doesn't feel overwhelming once the sales are live.
3. Stick to online shopping
Why stand in lines, and deal with over-excited fellow customers when you can be in bed, in pyjamas peacefully adding your wishlist to your cart? Skip the stress of trying to find things in person and stick to doing your Cyber Week shopping virtually instead, you're much more likely to find the things you want and actually have fun shopping!
4. Have your discount codes ready
It wouldn't be Cyber Week without using your Student Beans account. Remember to check out if your fave brands are offering a student discount code and to have it at the ready so you can check out quickly and smoothly when the time comes.
