According to the financial records, the number of sales on Black Friday in 2017 has tripled compare to those of 2016, with the greatest sales taking place in technology shops.
The consumer protection agency urges consumers to take the following advice during their shopping:
- Research the market from now. Locate any products which may interest you and mark their original price down, so that you can have a realistic view of the discount that will be given on Black Friday. Many people don’t know the original price and end up buying things that do not have such a big discount.
- Do not purchase things in a rush. Only buy things that you actually need and research the market well comparing prices and quality.
- Do not purchase an item just because it is on sale. Study the details of the product that is of interest and make sure that it accommodates your needs and demands. Read reviews about the quality of the product. Evaluate the final price and not the discount.
- Use the internet for both the purchase of your items, but to find other similar products, reviews about the product as well as the price from other suppliers and shops.
