We all know the holidays are expensive, but finding smart ways to save money can make a huge difference in your financial outlook for this season.
Here are 3 sneaky tactics that can help you save money this Holiday Season.
1. Going Directly to eCommerce sites
One of the best ways to save money during the holiday season is to go directly to eCommerce sites. Recently many retailers offer significant discounts if you purchase items through their online store rather than in-person or through another online outlet like Amazon.
Many of these Direct to Consumer eCommerce brands offer anywhere from 10% to 20% discounts on a first time order if a user signs up their email address.
If you find a product that you like on Amazon, Walmart.com, or another retailer. Try seeing if the brand you are buying has their own website. If they do there is a good chance you can get additional savings by buying directly from them.
2. Social Media Influencers
Social Media influencers are as popular as ever right now and many direct to consumer brands are leveraging these influencers to promote their products for the holidays.
If you find a product you like, try going to TikTok or Instagram and typing that product or brand in the explore bar.
You may be able to find an influencer promoting this product/brand and if that’s the case there is a good chance that they will have a promo code that can help you get a discount!
3. Coupon Sites
