Six Online Shopping Tips With Black Friday Around the Corner

November 24, 2010 by Momstart Leave a Comment

I actually really enjoy shopping online because I hate crowds. I also hate how grumpy people are in stores from employees to costumers from now until after New Years. It’s a disaster out there people. So when 6pm.com contacted me with some online shopping tips I just had to share them. Yes I have worked with them on this blog in the past and I love them. They are quite a fun company for a blogger to work with.

6pm.com, the online retail site where brandaholics go for their daily fix of the brands they crave in men’s, women’s, and children’s apparel, footwear and accessories, offers SIX tips for successful online shopping:

Tip #1

Make a List. You will save a lot of time and energy if you make a list of exactly whom you are buying for and what they like. Simply jot down the names and personalities of your potential gift recipients, and leave it next to your computer.

Tip #2

Do your homework. Visit your favorite sites and understand the various promotions they will be offering on specific days. If you are looking for a specific product, check to see if they sell it first rather than waiting for the day of the sale. Also, it’s wise to comparison shop prior to making purchases so you aren’t wondering if you got the best deal.

Tip #3

Establish an Account! Make sure you have an account established and login before you start to add things to your cart! Believe it or not, some sites allow you to “shop” and add things to your cart, but when you go to check out, you realize you haven’t established an account with the site, and you’ll have to do so before you can make purchases.

Tip #4

Shop Early! Many promotions sell out in a matter of hours and some of the hottest selling items can disappear in minutes! Most online sales start at midnight – so if there is something you really want, set your alarm to ensure you’ll get it!

Tip #5

Shop Fast! Although shopping online is a more relaxing experience, products do sell out quickly. On many sites, putting an item in your cart doesn’t reserve it for you! If you put items in your cart, then save the order to finish later, when you go back to finalize, your cart may be empty. If someone else is shopping and put it in their cart and goes to purchase it, sites pull it from available inventory, and when you go back to purchase; it may be out of stock! As the saying goes “you snooze you lose!”

Tip #6

New Tabs make Browsing Easy! Many browsers now offer “Tabs.” To utilize tabs, find a category you are interested in, right-click that category, and select the option to open that link in a new tab. You will then have the ability to continue to browse the main results page, and when you’re ready to make your final selections, you can just click on all the open tabs and finalize your order.

Back To School Shoe Savings With 6PM

August 4, 2010 by Momstart 8 Comments

This is kind of silly but I’ve been posting great deals for 6PM.com for about eight months now and I never took advantage of the savings. One of my friends that reads my blog saw some of the deals a while back and even she took advantage of the savings. So, I’m the one that’s been missing out on the great savings here.

6PM gets all of the shoes that Zappos is done with and they want to sell them as quickly as possible so they mark them down at the best possible rate. So for mother’s like me that like to save money and need new shoes for school or Pre-school if you want to get right down to it; 6PM is where to find the best deals on the best brands.

6pm.com is where “brandaholics”go to get their daily fix on the brands they love in apparel, footwear, and accessories, all at 75% off MSRP – every single day!

When looking at the shoes I saw great brands like Converse, Nike and New Balance. I spent a lot of time looking at the girls shoes because Zoe will be going to Pre-school in the fall. She is so ready to go to school and she’s learning her letters. I picked out a pair of New Balance that were marked down to 15.00. That’s hard to find a name brand pair of shoes at such a low price. You find shoes at Target that are Target brand for that price you know what I mean?

I’m also very pleased with how quickly they came. There are three categories that are all are under $25. Boy’s Athletic Shoes, Girl’s “Sugar” Shoes, and Girl’s Athletic Shoes. The athletic shoes are perfect for kids that play and wear out shoes like my son does. Man, he’s just like his father the way he wears out his shoes. Love ya honey but you know it’s true! The “sugar” shoes are quite cute and I wished they had more toddler sizes in the boots. My daughter needs a new pair of boots for next year. I’m sure they’ll get more in as we get closer to the season.

I received a pair of shoes to facilitate this review.
