🙅‍♂️ Avoid Black Friday Regrets
|
Black Friday is around the corner, and there will be many software deals. These offers might seem great, but be careful. It’s easy to make purchases you might regret later. Why I’m telling this? Few years ago, I bought a Black Friday deal for a software tool that looked promising. Unfortunately, it didn’t meet my expectations. When I asked for a refund, I was told refunds weren’t eligible for Black Friday deals! I know, bummer! But, no one wants to make those same mistakes. 💠Here are Things to Be Careful About: ➡️ Impulse Buys: A survey found that 84% of all shoppers have made impulse purchases and often end up buying things they didn’t plan for. Always ask yourself: Do I really need this? ➡️ No Refunds: Like my case, some deals come with strict no-refund policies, so always check the terms before purchasing. ➡️ Misleading Discounts: Some prices are inflated before discounts to make deals seem better than they are. 💠Tips for Smarter Shopping: 📌 Make a List: Write down the software (or anything) you actually need. Stick to your list, no matter how tempting other offers seem. 📌 Research Policies: Before buying, check the store’s return and refund rules. If refunds aren’t allowed, think twice. 📌 Compare Prices: Look at prices from different retailers and watch out for hidden subscription renewals. So if you’re going to purchase any software deals or tools to improve your workflow or business, or even anything for daily life, shop smart and carefully. You can get good Black Friday deals without feeling bad about your purchases later. If you need help finding the right tools (not just deals) for your business, check out my Small Business Digital Essentials Handbook. This guide lists tools I’ve carefully chosen that can help you save time and money. Some of these might even have good Black Friday deals! Just remember to think before you buy! Happy (and smart) shopping! Minosh. ​ |

Did you know? A survey by McKinsey found that 70% of buying experiences are based on how customers feel about the brand, not just the product itself. That’s powerful. And when you think about brands like Apple, it makes total sense. People don’t just buy an iPhone or a MacBook… They buy the feeling that comes with it. When you walk into an Apple Store or visit their website, everything feels easy, clean, and exciting. And when the product finally arrives at your door, even the box feels...

When Tesla launched the Cybertruck, people expected something bold, but no one expected a truck with no visible logo. There’s no big badge on the front or back, just a tiny logo hidden in the headlight, barely noticeable. And they even posted a picture of Cybertruck on X saying, “Only truck that doesn’t need a logo to know what it is.” So why did they do that? Because the Cybertruck isn’t just another car. It doesn’t look like anything else on the road. By removing obvious branding, Tesla...
