Are you ready for "Holiday Shopping Season"? With Black Friday and Cyber Monday right around the corner, it's time to make a list, gather your coupons, do some research so that you don't miss out on any of the great deals!

 

When there's two days of big bargain shopping nearly back to back, it can get confusing. What do you buy? Which has the better deals? How do I get the most "bang for my buck"? They're all questions that you should be asking yourself, and if you're looking for answers Zebra has got you covered! We want to help you keep the fun in shopping so we put together a list of tips to keep in mind as you browse for bargains this season!

 

Tip 1: Mark Your Calendars

Black Friday is on November 24, and is ideal for exclusive deals on computers and electronics, as well as in-store experiences for other retail stores. Cyber Monday takes place just a few days later on November 27, which is ideal for travel, book and magazine subscriptions, home and garden, and office supplies.

Tip 2: Search deals ahead of time

When it comes to saving money during the holiday season, preparation is key. In order to ensure maximum savings, check out store catalogs or go online to view promotions and sales happening at your favorite retailers and for your favorite brands.

Tip 3: Compare Prices

If you're looking for certain items, compare the prices from different stores ahead of time. If the stores announce their promotions ahead of time, compare deals as well! This can alleviate a lot of stress and trips to the mall.

Tip 4: Consider Shipping

Make sure to factor in shipping costs when shopping online for Cyber Monday! Some stores offer free or reduced shipping, while other retailers may require the same shipping price. For example, Zebra Pen will offer free shipping on Cyber Monday, in addition to 50% off all products.

Tip 5: Know the return policies

When it comes to online or in-store shopping, it's always important to know the return policies! If you're purchasing gifts, make sure to relay the return policy to the recipient.

Tip 6: Don't forget about gift cards

Not sure what to buy for a co-worker, relative, or boss? Consider purchasing a gift card for their favorite restaurant or store. Many stores offer deals on gift cards during Black Friday and Cyber Monday as well!

Tip 7: Load your shopping cart ahead of time

Some online stores allow you to load your shopping cart ahead of time. This can be useful if you're looking to buy a hot new item this season and want to make sure you get that deal on Cyber Monday.

Tip 8: Don't miss out!

Stock up on all your favorite Zebra products or try something new this Cyber Monday! Zebra is offering 50% off and free shipping for Zebra products when you buy online.
