Should you buy Black Friday hair straighteners?
Escalating prices can put a lot of pressure on consumers and can make Black Friday seem like the ideal time to shop. However, shopping on Black Friday has several drawbacks. The first and most obvious is how busy the shops get on Black Friday. You could find yourself fending off crowds trying to find your favourite hair straightener brand. With so many like-minded shoppers out in force, there’s also a high likelihood that products will sell out quickly, meaning you could miss out on deals.
Black Friday weekend can also put customers in the position where they feel that they have to make a purchase decision quickly. Deliberate for just one day, and the deals will be gone. This can lead to impulse purchases and encourage you to buy things that you don’t really need in the heat of the moment.
Black Friday also has another notable problem: overconsumption. When people buy things that they don’t need, it encourages them to throw out perfectly good products, leading to a massive build-up of tech and homeware waste. This is bad for the environment, as tech products can be difficult to recycle, and creates more rubbish for landfill.
At Back Market, we love to see serviceable products fully refurbished and reused at highly competitive and affordable prices. This means you can shop for great deals on hair straighteners, appliances and other tech goods whenever you need, rather than waiting until Black Friday. It also means less stress on the planet and on your bank balance.
