Black Friday Madness

Last Year, as some of you know, I was a sales associate at Best Buy during the holiday season. Being in that line of work, you witness a plethora of situations and my heart went out to a lot of people. The majority of customers responded in emotion, most commonly anger, because the item that the customer was searching for was either out of stock everywhere, or on a shipping hold due to delays in the mailing system.

 these kinds of examples are the only reason I do not participate in.....

Black Friday Madness

In the world of technology, you should expect this.

i mean just think about it for a second.

you walk in a store looking for the hottest item out on sale right now, on Black Friday, and they tell you, "its out of stock" and not just at that particular store you are in. but all across your state...and other states..

naturally, you are upset. 

but here is the thing.

that item that was on "sale"....

it was on sale almost 1.5 month(s) before the sales paper advertisement.

that's right....i said it.

Now, of course, items like televisions and some specific tablets will go on a special sale for a ridiculously low price, but those will be gone..20 minutes after midnight leading in to Black Friday,..I've seen it. people are crazy quick!

I too used to believe that Black Friday was the opportune time to grab that item Ive been eyeing all year, but i was so far from right, it was almost unbelievable.

With that being said here are some tips to avoid disappointing that special someone on Christmas morning.

START TODAY......

like right now!

Pre-ordering NOW will guarantee your item if you just have to have it before Christmas Day 

and if the item you seek isn't as popular as you initially thought.....

Wait till New Years Day...

when most people are off-work and returning their gifts for something that they really want.

I've seen people return perfectly perfect iPads because they were the wrong color.....

yes...that's a thing..

Like Ive said in a previous blog, spend your Black Friday at home this year, recovering from being a glutton on Thanksgiving. Put some time in with the ones you care for, and let the Gifts you give only be an extension of your emotions towards them. 

and it doesn't hurt if the gifts are exactly what they want....because you were smart!

and shopped for them early! XD
