Shyft Express
For all your needs from here to there, big and small, to pick or drop, we'll #SimplyShyft it for you.
To put it simply, White Friday is the Black Friday of the Middle East. In other words, it is the perfect yin and yang, quite literally.?
This event was created by none other than the CEO and co-founder of the shopping site souq.com, Ronaldo Mouchawar. Seeing shoppers go kind of crazy for the Black Friday sales and discounts, he introduced a similar approach to his very own largest e-commerce site in the Arab world.
It kicks off on the last Friday of November every year. So you better be marking your calendars!?
The biggest sale is upon you, but how do you manage to get the most out of it? Don’t worry, we’ve got you! Here are some tips and tricks to maximize your shopping experience!?
A budget is definitely what you need! Repeat after us, “Don’t go over budget”.?
It’s tempting to go all out on a shopping spree, but setting a budget and sticking to it will prevent you from overspending. Once you’ve checked the items off your wish list, deciding how much money you can spend on extra items will be much easier.
And remember no matter how tempting an offer may seem, it’s going to be pointless if you’re not gonna be using it later on!?
2. Create a wish list?
If any product catches your eye, look for reviews of the brand so that you are familiar with its quality. Look for this season's hottest items so you'll know which items will be harder to get. That way, you can prioritize them.
Making a wish list will help you make the most of White Friday, no matter if you'll do most of your shopping online, in person, or a combination of the two.?

3. Keep an eye out for ads and newsletters?
Many businesses begin circulating their White Friday advertisements weeks before the actual sale, giving you plenty of time to start looking for the best discounts.?
You could also subscribe to retailers' email lists or follow them on social media to stay up to date on their special deals as they become available. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, don’t leave anything!?
Consider installing the apps of your favorite brands to get first access to deals and discounts. Turn on push notifications to get instant notifications of the sales!
4. Use price checking apps and tools
Comparing the original prices of products will help you identify the significant markdowns versus a minor discount. This is extremely useful for higher-priced items, where the savings can be huge.
You can use price checker tools like ShopSavvy and Kanbkam , that pull price information from multiple retailers to help you find the best deals.
5. Keep a tab on exchange policies
Many times the products you buy may not match your expectations. Blame it on a compulsive purchase or a just damaged product. The pain of finding out that your purchase is not returnable easily outweighs the laziness of reading the return policies. So read it before you shop!
Now that you are armed with all the tips and tricks, let the shopping season begin! We sincerely hope for your wish list and cart to be empty and your mail full of orders!
