Shopping Tips for Cyber Monday 2024
- Start Early: Cyber Monday is popular, so be ready to shop early to get your desired items before they sell out.
- Have Options: On Cyber Monday, you won't know which brands may enjoy significant discounts. So, for example, if you are looking for a laptop, decide on specs, sizes and price range beforehand. Researching more than one option will increase your chances of getting the performance specifications you want at a lower price.
- Track Prices Ahead of Time: It’s helpful to monitor prices in advance, so you’ll know if a deal is genuinely a great bargain. Reputable retailers, like those who are a part of the RCS Shopping Network, will never use misleading methods to make a deal look more appealing than it actually may be.
- Use an RCS Store Card: RCS cardholders can get the best deals without destroying their monthly budget, with flexible payment options helping you manage your purchases more easily.
Of course, tech is supposed to be the key focus of Cyber Monday traditionally, but there are a number of other retailers that have jumped onto the promo over the last few years – as they look to capitalise on the excitement of Black Friday. For example, Superbalist is promoting up to 80% off clothing this Cyber Monday.
