The Trifecta of Savvy Shopping: 3 Black Friday Tips for Online Shoppers

We love the tips put together by Loren Ridinger on what she calls the "The Trifecta of Savvy Shopping (sale or coupon + free shipping + cash back = WIN).  We hope you can enjoy them as well:

1)  There is no reason to head to the mall on Friday when you have a computer right in front of you! Retailers offer the same (if not better) discounts online and trust me, getting those shoes you’ve been eying at 50% off feels so much better when you snagged them while still in your pajamas.

2)  Go for The Trifecta of Savvy Shopping (yes, I just made that up): sale or coupon + free shipping + cash back = WIN. When you take the time to compare prices on your favorite products, you figure out which brand is offering the best deal. And after adding cashback for your purchases into the equation, you are literally paying yourself to shop.com That’s why I’m all about shop.com, especially during the holidays when every little bit counts!

3)  Bookmark which items you want to buy on Black Friday now so all you have to do is click the link, get the discount/coupon code and buy. This saves so much time, rather than having to re-search for something the day of, praying it doesn’t sell out in the process.

1. Having an effective website is the best way to save money on advertising.  The website is available 24/7; the cost per month of operating your website will be a lot less than other media outlets.

2. According to recent study  97% of consumers who are looking to do business locally will first search through search engines, social networks, tweets, blogs, online or through mobile devices. No longer are consumers flipping through catalogs or going through phone-books to find your information.
