Important Tips For Amazon Prime Day Sales & Flipkart Big Savings Day

Amazon Prime Day Sales & Flipkart Big Savings Day are the two most hyped sales event by the two E-Commerce giants in India. Many of your favorite products & Gadgets might come in a discount price and there will be specific bank & credit/debit cards offers which you can use to further reduce the price.

As fancy as it sounds, it also has many dark sides. Some of the products prices are not exactly the discounted price as they say. Some of them are just an eyewash of an offer where they suddenly take the MRP into account and say 67% Off and quote the exact same price which the product was selling a month before.

As a consumer, we make a mistake by trusting their words completely. I'm not saying all the offers was not effective but there are some fault offers as well. So, you should always stay on top of these aspects to avoid losing money. Even if you are losing 1 Rupee due to a bad deal, it is not good because its your hard earned money.

Here are some of the tips you should consider while making purchase on these offer days.

Compare Prices:

Always double check the price that was shown as offer price. Check the initial launch price at different websites and come to a conclusion. Spend atleast a minute researching about the product prices before buying it. The more research you do, the more you are getting out of the deal.

Use Keepa & Price Before tools to track prices for your favorite products. Whenever you are thinking of purchasing a gadget in the future go to one of these websites Keepa & Price Before and add a price drop alert.

So, these tools will keep track of your products prices whenever there is a drop and increase. This way you can easily compare the price on these offer days and make a easy decision.

Another tip here is go into review section of the product page and read the reviews, there are chances that people might have mentioned the price when they bought. This is a general tip that I follow.

Buy Only Whats Necessary:

Another important thing to notice here is, we tend to buy unwanted items when we see a Offer tag slapped to the product. Don't ever make the mistake of purchasing a item only because it was available on offer. 

Make list of products that you really need and do your research to make the purchase.

Set A Budget and Stick with It:

Please be reminded that the purpose of buying products in these offer days are to cut your expenses not increasing it.

Always stay within your available budget. Don't fall for a higher budget product because it is a blockbuster deal. It might not be a blockbuster deal. Sellers will say 70% Off , 80% Off but in reality it is the same price or sometimes higher.

Check Warranty and Return Policies:

Always check the return and warranty policies while purchasing products from these offer days.

Because the product might come up with Non-Refundable policy, so if there is a fault in your product then it is impossible to return.

Also make sure the warranty offers it might have some special terms and conditions.

Bank Offers:

Bank offers is one of the effective method to reduce the price. 90% of the products price reduction is only because of the bank offer. Because most of the time sellers wont give a big discount, it is the bank offer that saves you.

Check what Bank offers are available and make purchase using that card. It will save you a ton of money.

Happy Shopping:)
