Your guide to the best Black Friday deals 2024: Top Tips
As a global sales event, Black Friday began in America to promote early Christmas shopping. Now also super-popular in the UK, you’ll find massive discounts on everything, not just tech. So, what's the best strategy for bagging the best Black Friday deals before they're all snapped up?
Be social media savvy
Are you following all your favourite brands on all of their social media platforms? On the run-up to all of the Black Friday madness, you'll need to start paying attention to your inbox. Therefore, look for all those emails you normally automatically delete and also the social media posts you scroll past. Why? Because brands reward customers that pay attention.
Plus, stay tuned to What's The Best. We'll be bringing you all the biggest and best deals and discounts throughout the event.
Brands might alert you to offers that only last an hour - which could include big-ticket items like the best Black Friday gaming PCs or deals on Apple iPhones. You might even find an extra discount or two when following their socials, and they'll also keep you up to date about exciting deals ahead of time.
Set up online accounts beforehand
If you do a lot of online shopping on Black Friday, don't lost time registering with every site. Be prepared and sign up or register for your favourite sites before the event.
It’s a good time to sign up for Amazon Prime, too. You can get a 30-day free trial and then you’re set up for next-day delivery on your Black Friday 2024 purchases.
Sign up for newsletters and updates
They might clog up your inbox for the rest of the year, but newsletters will bring you discounts. Not to mention alert you to bargains and keep you to date with Black Friday deals for 2024.
Stay up until midnight on Thursday night
Given that this is now an event lasting a few weeks, we don't think it's worth staying up all night unless you have a very particular high-ticket item in mind. The last thing you want to do is hang on and resist great deals on the items you've been waiting for, only to find they're not even on sale on the Friday or have sold out.
That said, some of the big brands' Black Friday deals often go live at midnight on the big day itself. So it definitely pays to stay awake and see which items go on sale first. You might just bag that bargain you've been waiting for.
Set a budget
Tempted by almost every deal you see on Black Friday? We recommend you set a budget and stick to it. Experts also say that you should use a credit card. It’s the safest way to pay and comes with several consumer-friendly protections. So, that said, and with this guide under your belt, you're all set for some serious Black Friday savings.
