7 Types of Online Black Friday Shoppers

The Upgrader  

This shopper uses Black Friday as a time to upgrade the items they’ve been wanting to replace, mostly gadgets like phones, game consoles, and other electronics. They’re usually stalking all the electronics stores because they know prices plummet in November. If this is you, consider looking for deals outside the company’s website and on other stores that stock the gadgets you want to upgrade.

The Newbie 

The newbie shopper is... well... new to Black Friday. Yes, they know about Black Friday and that it’s the time when prices are super low. But they haven’t really participated in any Black Friday shopping. Every time another Black Friday rolls around, they tell themselves: this will be the time they get in on the action. But somehow, they never quite get around to it. Maybe this year will be the year. Who knows? Just a heads up, Black Friday is on November 29th, and retailers have already started announcing deals.

The Deal Hunter

The Deal Hunter lives for Black Friday. Known for their skill in tracking down the absolute best prices, this shopper knows exactly where to find the hidden gems. Friends and family often come to them for advice on finding deals, and they’re always ready to help. The Deal Hunter compares prices like a pro. They also know which stores inflate their prices just before Black Friday and they’d call them out on it if they had to.

The Indulger  

Black Friday can be a good time to indulge and finally buy items you’ve been waiting to see drop in price. That’s the motto the Indulger lives by. The Indulger doesn’t joke around with Black Friday. They have a wishlist they’ve built throughout the year, and they open it up on Black Friday to start ticking things off. They might even take the day off from work to get their hands on as many things as they can. It’s like their cheat day.

The Early Bird 

Years of shopping on Black Friday have taught this shopper that deals don’t start on Black Friday, they start way ahead, sometimes in October. This shopper is always on the lookout to find early bird offers. They know that their favourite ecommerce stores like Amazon, AliExpress, and eBay, will usually project their deals on their websites and social media pages. So there’s no need to wait until Black Friday to shop. Sure, the lowest deals might come on Black Friday, but many stores and retailers start offering discounts early. And it’s a great time to take advantage of the slower traffic.

The Scroller  

If you’re the shopper who just finds yourself in the middle of Black Friday without prior plans to shop, this might be you. But because of all the hype, you decide to just scroll through, and if you see a good deal that feels worth it, you’ll go for it. If nothing catches your eye, you’re good too. No harm, no foul.

The Committed Shopper  

It’s easy to get carried away on Black Friday, but not for the Committed Shopper. From day one, they’ve had their eye on specific items and those items only. This shopper already has Black Friday planned, and nothing can distract them. They know their stores, the items they want to buy, and even the prices they won’t go above, all before the deals start coming in. Once they get their items, they’re out. Nothing else catches their eye if it wasn’t already planned.

No matter what type of online Black Friday shopper you are, you're bound to find deals that suit your style. With a world of discounts at your fingertips, you can choose to buy just a few items or go all out and shop until you drop. The Geegpay virtual dollar card’s got you covered.
