We do see online shopping as a smooth and manageable affair; however, it requires little efforts to be quick and resourceful. There is a flood of orders at all online portals on this glorious shopping Monday and thus, playing it smart will fetch you the best and the most. Here are a few pointers that you can consider before making a purchase this year.

•    Enlist big-ticket items:  The foremost step towards going on a shopping spree is preparing a list of essential items that you need to buy. This way you save a decent amount of time and avoid end-time hustles. While planning for Cyber Monday, it is wise to include expensive items in the start of the list as it is an arithmetic truth that the costlier the product, the more you save. So do take account of big things that your home is missing out, jewelry ensembles for yourself or to give them as gifts to closest acquaintances on Christmas.

•    Keep your computer software updated:  Since it is a game to be played on the cyber ground, you need to have a safe, secure and up-to-date software installed in your desktop or laptop. Furthermore, an updated ant-virus must be installed in your system as when you keep exploring various websites, there are sure shot chances of unwanted bugs to enter your workstation and suddenly stop it from working.

•    Sign up for Newsletters:  If you have some set retailers and stores to shop from, sign up for the site’s newsletter a week before. This is an excellent way to earn special subscriber-discounts and be well-versed with the deals and promotions as offered by your favorite online store.

•    Hit it in advance:  Due to an overwhelming response on the day, retailers have thought of flashing their offers a little early, like a day or two before Thanksgiving. Be an early bird and

book your item in advance. If the site doesn’t provide advance booking, start your Monday before time (midnight targets) and start firing as the clock ticks twelve post-Sunday night.

•    Sniff out hidden coupon codes:  What is visible on the site is not sufficient and you become insatiable to get more and more markdowns. In this situation, hunt down and try different coupon codes, even two or three extra percentage off can make your celebration worthwhile.

•    Compare and buy:  If the same product of the same brand is available at different online

stores then it is better to compare the price and deal that it offers, before placing an order. There should be no regrets afterwards as the day should end in profits and savings.

•    Choose Free Shipping sites: Be wise enough to not counterbalance what you have saved, in paying for shipping charges. Try to order products from productive websites that offer you the facility of free shipping; a little research can make your Cyber Monday purchase simple and sensible.
