Black Friday is one of the biggest retail shopping events of the year, and while it originated in the United States, it is now popular worldwide. Black Friday falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving in the US and is seen as the start of the Christmas shopping season.
Cyber Monday is a major worldwide online shopping event that takes place the Monday after Black Friday. Cyber Monday was created in the early 2000s during the rise of e-commerce to encourage people to shop online.
Black Friday falls on the last Friday in November. This year, that is November 29.
Black Friday sales last for four days. Traditionally, Black Friday sales start the Friday after Thanksgiving and end four days later on Cyber Monday.
Black Friday sales end on Cyber Monday. This year, that is Monday, December 2.
Cyber Monday is the Monday after Thanksgiving in the United States. This year, Cyber Monday is on December 2.
Cyber Monday is a one-day sale event, so shoppers only have 24 hours to snap up a bargain.
Most retailers start their Cyber Monday sale at 12:01am on Monday and end at 11:59pm that night.
Most of Australia’s major retailers will offer Black Friday deals. Those retailers include:
The best way to find out which brands are having Black Friday sales is to visit the brand’s website and view their promotions. Then you can choose to purchase either online or in-store.
The best way to find a good Black Friday deal is to shop around and compare discounts between retailers. Some stores offer sales previews on their website or social media pages so you can plan what you’d like to buy ahead of time.
Retailers typically run 25%-50% off sales on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. However, some discounts may be as high as 60% depending on the brand.
Black Friday is a good time to purchase big-ticket items on your wish list as the savings can be significant. Remember though that buying something just because it’s on sale, not because you need it, is not advisable.
Black Friday sales occur both in-store and online, whereas Cyber Monday sales are exclusively online.
Traditionally, Black Friday has bigger discounts than Cyber Monday. However, some retailers use Cyber Monday to drop prices even further before the sale weekend ends.
While Boxing Day used to be the biggest sale event of the year in Australia, Black Friday has surpassed it in recent years. Now, Australians are spending more and getting better discounts during the Black Friday sale weekend.
There are plenty of ways to get a great deal on Black Friday. Some of the best ways to secure a bargain are:
1. Research ahead of time
Start researching the items you want ahead of time. Use comparison websites to find the best prices so you can spot a genuine bargain come shopping day.
2. Add items to your shopping cart early
If you already know what you want to buy, add it to your online shopping cart before Black Friday. That way when the sales start you’ll be ready to purchase and won’t risk missing out.
3. Set a budget
To avoid over-spending, set a clear budget before you start shopping. This will help you resist impulse buys that you can’t really afford.
4. Focus on big-ticket items
Black Friday is a great time to buy appliances, electronics and tech as the discounts can be significant. Shop around and if you see a better deal on an item you want, ask your preferred retailer to price match it.
5. Sign up for sales previews with different brands
Some brands give members early access or previews to Black Friday sales, meaning you can prepare your wish list and get in early to purchase once the sale starts.
6. Review return policies
Some retailers may not allow returns on heavily discounted items but may offer other options such as store credits or exchanges. Always check the return policy first.
7. Don’t hesitate
Black Friday is the most popular sale of the year and that means items sell out fast. If you see something you want at a good price, don’t wait too long to buy it or could miss out.
8. Beware of scams
Black Friday scams have become more popular in recent years. Purchase from reputable retailers and avoid deals from unknown brands that seem too good to be true. If you’re shopping online, always check for secure connections by ensuring the website address starts with https:// and displays a padlock icon.
