Cyber Monday

If you didn't shop enough over the weekend, or you purposely avoided the have another chanmobbed malls, youce to save on holiday gifts on Monday.

Nearly 75 percent of online retailers will offer special promotions on the Monday after Thanksgiving, up from 43 percent two years ago, according to a survey from the National Retail Federation, which in 2005 dubbed the day Cyber Monday after online retailers noticed that Web site traffic spiked that day.

This year's promotions will include e-mail campaigns with special deals to current customers, as well as one-day savings on particular products. Nearly 25 percent of retailers will provide free shipping on all purchases with no conditions attached.

Where to Start
You may be wondering, where do I start in this big jungle called “the internet”. Cybermonday.com features deals from nearly 500 stores, you can narrow down the list of retailers based on specific wants such as free shopping or gift cards.
Shopadidas.com plans to offer customers 25 percent off.
JoAnn.com, the online crafts store, will cover shipping for all purchases, as well as returns.
Ice.com, a jewelry merchant, will save 20% on many items and pay no shipping.

Precautions.

• Even with these deals, remember to comparison shop at sites like Shopzilla.com and Shopping.com before you buy. Also, scour the fine print for the return policy. Can you return or exchange an item at their store? If you must mail returns, who pays for the shipping? Will you receive a store credit or a refund?
• Also be sure to shop on secure Web sites that use encryption technology, which will scramble your personal information so hackers cannot access it.
• Never buy from a Web site that does not include a physical address and phone number.
• Finally, use a credit card when shopping online. It is the safest method of payment. Legally you are responsible for only $50 of unauthorized charges, and you can withhold payments if you are disputing a charge.

Be sure to record every purchase and the price. Otherwise you may be blindsided by the dollar figure on the credit card bill come January, Otherwise Happy Cyber Monday Shopping

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all, from Metumi.Blogspot.Com

Black Friday

Well another holiday shopping season is approaching and as a tradition you are obligated to buy gifts for your loved ones. One of the best days to find good deals, is Black Friday, well, what is it?

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving and is the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season in the United States. Since Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday in November, Black Friday may be as early as the 23rd and as late as the 29th day of November. Retailers often decorate for the Christmas season weeks beforehand. Many retailers open very early (typically 5 A.M.) and offer doorbuster deals and loss leaders to draw people to their stores. Although Black Friday, as the first shopping day after Thanksgiving, has served as the unofficial beginning of the Christmas season at least since the start of the modern Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1924, the term "Black Friday" has been traced back only to the 1970s. "Black Friday" was originally so named because of the heavy traffic on that day, although most contemporary uses of the term focus instead on the theory that retailers traditionally operated at a financial loss for most of the year (January through November) and made their profit during the holiday season. When this would be recorded in the financial records, once-common accounting practices would use red ink to show negative amounts and black ink to show positive amounts. Black Friday, under this theory, is the beginning of the period where retailers would no longer have losses (the red) and instead take in the year's profits (the black). (Retailers' profitability varies, but some retailers are indeed dependent on the holiday season for their profits.). Whatever theory is true, you can get very good deals.

The links below highlights advanced look at some Black Friday Newspapers ads, you don’t have to wait until thanksgiving week to see the sales, enjoy.
