3 Ways To Find The Best Deal on Something You Want - Work your way to a deal

 It is tempting to wait for a good deal before purchasing something that you really want to get your hands on so here are some tips on how to find the best deals.

Learn to negotiate

Negotiating is generally frowned upon when it comes to purchasing something handmade or a craft because it makes it seem like you are depreciating the effort they put into the product. However, you can negotiate with electronics, other mass-manufactured products such as clothing, shoes, and bags, and even stationery and furniture. Since it is a given that negotiating is going to put the seller into ‘guard-mode’ you should always be polite and courteous when you negotiate. Find out information about the price and play on your curiosity about manufacturing and delivery as this will allow them to share more details with you allowing you to get an idea if they can bring the price down. Another common and effective negotiating option is saying that you found the same product elsewhere at a cheaper price. This might allow you to get an upper hand at the negotiation and incline the seller to reduce the price. Remember to be fair to the seller and keep in mind not to be harsh or rude if they refuse to reduce the price and thank them and be polite even if you make the purchase or not. There is no harm in trying but you should not let that affect your mood or your approach to speaking with the seller.

 Look for deals

Blogs and websites such as Shopping in Focus make perfect places to find out about deals and offers that are ongoing. Your best option to get a deal on a product you have been eyeing is to find an ongoing discount option so you will be able to get a discount and also get your hands on the product you wish to purchase. While these two might not align all the time, the next best option is for you to keep eyeing a product and watch closely till there is a discount offered on it. If it is not an urgent product such as a handsfree or a speaker then you can afford to wait till Black Friday deals or Christmas deals are activated because you are guaranteed to be able to find a good offer during holiday seasons. Online shopping guides, magazines, websites, and catalogues will mention upcoming discounts and deals so you can look out for these and wait for the dates they will be available on.

 Shop online

Shopping online over shopping at a store is another way you are able to get a better deal on the price of a product. Shops have to pay a monthly rental, they have overhead costs such as electricity water, and staff salaries to cover but when you are retailing online it is the cost of the website maintenance, the cost of the website host, and any payment gateway that you have integrated to the system. Apart from these, there is only the cost of the delivery that will either get added on top of the retail price or at times sellers prefer to incur the delivery cost in the total price so the customer gets to feel better about free delivery. When you have the opportunity of purchasing something online versus going to the store and placing the order, always pick the former as that is bound to give you a price advantage. If the seller you are planning to purchase from has a store plus a website, inquire if purchasing online will get you a discount or a deal as this is likely to encourage them to give you a discount.
