January Sales

Historically January Sales are a time when retailers try to get a head start on the year and therefore drop prices staggeringly low. The aim is to encourage you to get back to shopping and boy does it work!

If you’ve been holding out to get a new phone, need a stylus for your new device or want some new houseware for your home to kick the new year off, you’ve waited for just the right time!

Stock up on clothing, gadgets, furnishings and more this January.

• As the age-old adage goes, “the early bird catches the worm”. Start planning early - troll the news and the web for lists of retailers offering January Sales deals. Bookmark those retailer’s websites, download their apps and create wishlists.
• Follow your favourite retailers on their social media. This tip pays off year-round, but it’ll especially come in hand during January Sales when retailers ramp up promotional activity and offer last-minute deals. You want to make sure you’re first to see all the deals!
• Budget! It’s tempting to shop every offer your eye lands on, but do you really need another flat screen TV? Plan a budget and stick to it as best as you can.
• Price check before you buy - sometimes January Sales deals aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. To judge how good the deals really are once it’s crunch time, you’ll need to track prices leading up to January Sales.
• Use online price comparison tools to make sure you’re really getting the lowest price out there. The item you want could be even cheaper elsewhere!
• Sign up to your favourite brand’s mailing list. They’ll send all their offers straight to you! That way you don’t have to go searching.
• Be aware of store policies, for example - many stores don’t accept returns on major sale items.
• If you can, skip in-store shopping and shop online. Many retailers will offer the same, if not more, deals online as well. Shopping in the comfort of your home can be a great way to avoid the notoriously boisterous crowds and the long queues to get into some shops.
• Enjoy it! January Sales shopping might be overwhelming but it’s also a lot of fun. Get a friend or two to join you and make a thing out of it.

Should you choose to shop January Sales deals from the comfort of your home online, here are some tips and tricks to make sure you shop safely, securely and smartly:

• Shop with trusted online retailers or do thorough research before making purchases from unknown retailer sites.
• Never provide your credit card information if you do not see the ‘padlock’ on the upper left-hand side of your address bar, or if the address begins with “http://” instead of “https://”.

• Keep your information private. If the retailer asks for too much information such as your birth-date and social security numbers, do not complete the transaction.
• After shopping January Sales deals, it’s a good idea to keep a close eye on all your banking statements, checking them weekly rather than by the month, just in case something slipped to a hacker. Notify your cardholder service if there are any discrepancies immediately.
• Maintain good virus protection on your computer to prevent spyware and other hacks from accessing your information. Many trusted anti-virus services are available online for free so you can take advantage of convenient online shopping.
• Avoid using public Wi-Fi to do your shopping, rather use secure connections.
• Be cautious of unsolicited emails and pop-up internet adverts with too-good-to-be-true offers. Use caution when a deal is drastically better than others and always double-check before clicking on ads.
