Black Friday and one of the most hectic weekends when it comes to consumption, have come to an end. However, to try to scratch some more profit and balance the accounts even more, in a large number of consumer electronics establishments Cyber Monday has been strongly extended. The key to this appointment is on the Internet, since as its name suggests, it is a Monday in which the big brands intend to exhaust their unsold stock during the last 3 days through the Internet with discounts, apparently more attractive than those found in previous days.
As in Friday's appointment, in today's date, all that glitters is not gold and on many occasions, the purchase of a tablet or smartphone can be frustrating not only from the point of view of having achieved or not a good offer, or the question of whether or not it was necessary to acquire a new terminal. Today we will give you some tips to keep in mind if to overcome this Cyber Monday and the hangover of Black Friday With which you will avoid surprises if you plan to make any more purchases.
1. Follow up
It is true that this Monday we will be able to find additional discounts on products that have already been reduced during the weekend. However, here you have to be very cautious. As we said on Friday, a very widespread tactic among some firms is to inflate the starting prices of a product in the days before Black Friday to reduce it at this appointment and keep them as they were initially making the consumer think that they are really lower. This strategy can also be seen throughout today, so once again, we recommend carrying out a pursuit not only of the costs of a terminal in the days prior to November 25, but also of the weekend.
2. Be wary of great deals
If you have found the tablet or smartphone that you consider ideal for you and you are determined to buy it, be careful. It is possible that some terminals have not had a great discount during these days and that today they suffer a considerable discount. Some may be credible with the aim of exhausting the number of units sold, which is not usually high, but others are not. If this is the case and it is added that the model in question is more recent, it is possible that you are facing a fraudulent sale if we also take into account the leading sales channels of today: Internet shopping pages.
3. Beware of some portals
Despite the fact that e-commerce is booming and more and more people turn to shopping portals in this format, not all pages are reliable. Here we will not focus on the fact that they must have trust certificates and security elements with which both the payment method and personal data are protected, but we will focus on aspects such as that they do not contain photos of the products in question, which , as we said before, show very important discounts, or also, that they do not have no helpdesk or physical addresses. Chinese portals are the ones that generate the most mistrust.
4. Watch out for signatures from the Great Wall country
It is true that lately, tablets and smartphones that we found Made in China have taken a very important leap in terms of quality. This has placed some companies in the most populous country in the world as one of the most widespread on a global scale. However, there are many others that are very discreet and that have an almost residual implantation in their country of origin that, however, does not prevent them from spreading to other countries through Internet sales portals. If you decide to buy one of the models produced by them during this Cyber Monday, do not take as a reference its price and its specifications found on a single website. Look for all the possible information about them and if possible, compare and locate their website. The Reviews of users can be very useful.
5. If you buy one of the larger ones, caution
Finally, we end with a tip closely linked to number 4 on this list. In many cases, the pages contain fraudulent data about the terminals that, at first glance, they offer in their catalog. In these, it is possible to find the most powerful models on the market with discounts that may seem very attractive or, on the other hand, to find more unknown terminals that, according to their manufacturers, offer an excellent value for money. Here we will give you two tips: The first, if you are going to buy an elevated device on these websites, confirm all its characteristics through the official website of your company. The second, go back to compare and make sure that they are not fakes by looking at all the possible photographs.
Do you think these guidelines can be useful to end a shopping campaign that has been frantic and that is only the beginning of everything that is to come in the next few weeks? Do you think that despite trying to apply common sense when purchasing new tablets and smartphones, it is difficult to make a really useful purchase that meets the needs of the public? You have more related information available, such as a list of discounts that have taken place during these days, or also, more tricks to successfully survive Black Friday.
The Blackview offers seem beastly to me, they are until December 2, the BV6000 can be obtained for € 152 (pvp of 194) I think it is extended to all stores, but if you do not see it, look for the official Blackview store on Aliexpress I've seen it there.
Cyber Monday is a bit of a scam to say the least. It is better to consider price comparators like http://moviles-libres.net and see the different prices for each smartphone model.
