Top 5 tips for finding the best Black Friday deals

Black Friday is coming up this week, which is a chance to get some of the best deals and discounts possible during the fashion shopping year. Though navigating through the swamp of promotions and deal bombardments can be frustrating, to say the least. In order to help you find the best deals, nss has put together its top 5 list of tips and tricks to get the most out of Black Friday without losing your mind. 

No.1

Join mailing lists, many brands and sites have the key to finding the best discounts in their mailing lists. First off, beyond simply being made aware of all the sales details, mailing lists often contain exclusive and more private promotions that are only made available through the mail list. 

No.2

Check multi-brand sites, many brands will directly offer great deals through their sites and socials, but certain, especially top-end luxury brands that are in high demand, rarely ever discount directly, and then a third party, multi-brand site, that sells the brand might be your best bet in finding it discounted. Beyond the obvious sites like Amazon, here's two nss picks: farfetch & matches fashion

No.3

The early bird. Often brands and sites, in reality, start offering deals before Black Friday privately, sometimes as early as the whole preceding week. The discounts will often increase for every day that passes, but it is a good way to scope out what's on offer, and sometimes strike early for those must haves. A trick is to have your items added to the cart before sales start, so you can check out very quickly an ensure items once the sales begin.

No. 4

The bigger the site the bigger the deal. Not to push too much for supporting huge conglomerates but the simple fact is that Black Friday is a lot about getting rid of dead stock, and the bigger the chain, generally the bigger the amount of deadstock they need to get rid of, and can accordingly have the lowest profit margins, thus offering the biggest discounts.

No. 5 

Cyber Monday, Black Friday was naturally originally an in-store affair, and still today some of the best deals will be found by going to physical stores as appose to shopping online, but as a reaction, the Monday following BF has now for many sellers become Cyber Monday, which acts as a purely online sales compared to BF. If you’re not looking for something too specific, the absolutely biggest saving can be found by those with the nerves and patience to wait til Monday.

So there you have them, and we wish you all the luck in finding some great deals and cops this week. To help you get started here are the Black Friday sales for:
