Black Friday 2011 Prediction on GPS Systems

Posted by Manish Pandey On Tuesday, 4 October 2011 0 comments

One of the most popular sales items a couple of years ago on Black Friday was the GPS System and it has still not fallen out of the charts. In fact, in the 2011 Black Friday we can expect to see it in the most popular sales category.

But unfortunately, GPS Systems will not have the same percentage in sales as they had the previous years. And the main reason for this is that the majority of people who have had an interest in them have already purchase one. And since you can easily upgrade them by purchasing new maps if you have a limited license or simply just download them if you have a lifetime license, you will need to purchase a more complete product. But even so, the market is still significant, especially since there have appeared many new GPS System models.

gps-in-car[1] In the 2011 Black Friday we can expect GPS Systems which have new updated map systems, which have weather and traffic capabilities and which have larger displays with a larger number of colors and improved visibility.

For this Black Friday season, the predictions are that the prices for GPS Systems will drop in comparison to the previous season, with a large array of products being under the $100 margin. For example, a GPS System with a 3.5’’ LCD display might be found for a predicted price of $39. In fact, the GPS system market for the 3.5’’ LCD display will see an overall increase in name-branded products which have a large array of functionalities for less than $100.

Larger models, with a display of over 5’’ and lifetime traffic service, may be found this Black Friday in between $129 and $149.

The best bargain GPS System for this season is a 4.3’’ LCD display model which has the most important features and especially lifetime and traffic updates and which will be found at bargain prices starting from $129. It might be double or triple the price of similar products which do not have lifetime updates, but considering you will not need to purchase the updates every year or every couple of years, you will actually purchase it at a much lower “final” price.

Cyber Monday Laptop Deals 2011 – Best Computer Discounts of a Year

Posted by Manish Pandey On Tuesday, 30 August 2011 0 comments

Black Friday was always considered the biggest shopping day of the year. This understanding is no longer true. Cyber Monday or the Monday after Thanksgiving, is now regarded as the biggest shopping day of the year since sales on that day are higher than any other day.
What exactly is so enticing about Cyber Monday? While items are marked down significantly, retailers also offer free shipping. In other words, consumers have no incentive to head to the stores, as they can get the same deals online at no additional cost. You can check out the external hard drive deals atMyExternalHardDrive.com guide. Some of the popular items that are on sale
during this day include digital cameras, televisions, entertainment centers and laptops. Historically, Cyber Monday laptop deals have known to be ridiculous, with some models marked down as much as 60%. These laptop deals are not limited to generic models, as Hewlett Packard, Dell, Compaq and Apple are just some of the brands featured.


How can one become familiar with the upcoming Cyber Monday laptop deals? It is actually quite simple, as retailers today do whatever necessary to ensure that consumers are fully aware of the bargains that will be available. Most retailers have separate online flyers that can be obtained by signing up for an e-mail list. These flyers are sent out a few days before Cyber Monday, allowing consumers enough time to compare prices. The best sales are on the front page and most of the time the Cyber Monday laptop deals are emphasized on the front cover. These deals are only available for a limited time and in some cases one can only acquire specific items during a short time window. For instance, some online deals are only available from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., similar to Black Friday. As a result, it is recommended that consumers looking to secure a specific item have access to a computer right when the deal is about to go live.
What type of Cyber Monday laptop deals can one expect? In 2010, there were definitely some notable sales. For instance, the HP G26x was offered for $479.99. This unit came equipped with 4 GB of RAM and a 500 GB hard drive. It should be noted that this model was only offered at this price after one completed certain rebates. Some of these rebates were instantly recognized at the register, while others were mail-in rebates. Consumers should always be aware of the fine print on advertisements so that they are not surprised when the transaction takes place at the register. Another Cyber Monday laptop deal form 2010 was a 13-inch MacBook for $849.99. When determining the value of these deals, one should research and find the price of the specific item at that given time period. If previous Cyber Monday laptop deals are compared to today’s prices, they might not seem as much of a bargain.
Why do retailers offer such ridiculous prices on certain days of the year? It is actually a marketing tactic aimed at increasing sales volume. With Black Friday, consumers head into the store and stumble upon deals that they cannot pass up. The same logic applies to Cyber Monday. While browsing online, consumers may find sales that they didn’t spot on the advertisement. In addition to a specific item they may be targeting, consumers may grow inclined to purchase other items as well. Retailers actually do not generate much profit on days like Cyber Monday and Black Friday. However, research has indicated that shoppers who enter the stores (or websites) on these days are more likely to make another purchase in the future.
What type of Cyber Monday laptop deals will be available this year? The only way to find out is to keep an eye open for the flyers that retailers will release ahead of time. It is usually best to subscribe to an e-mail list to receive the most up-to-date news of a particular retailer. Most websites have a text box on the front page by which one can enter his/her e-mail to become active on the mailing list. Consumers should also adjust their spam settings in case e-mails from a particular retailer are not reaching their inbox.
With Cyber Monday now the biggest shopping day of the year, many analysts believe that Black Friday will soon become inexistent. Eventually, the trend will be towards shopping online, as it can save considerable time. However, consumers should continue to take advantage of both shopping days since the sales are usually significant. Specifically, the Cyber Monday laptop deals offer huge incentive to purchase the advertised models. As mentioned before, timeliness is critical, as most of the deals are not available during all hours of the day. Even though Cyber Monday deals are available online, stores can still run out of stock and items can be available only for a certain period of time.
