Updated 3 November, 2023 - Black Friday and Cyber Monday are commercial traditions ported over from the United States. They've become quite popular events in the United Kingdom. And for good reason: we won’t say no to good deals and discounts during Christmas shopping! However, if you could only shop during one, which should you pick? Is there any difference? Let’s take a look. By the end, we think you’ll discover there is an even better way to access great deals all year round.
Black Friday is always the fourth Friday of the month, the day after Thanksgiving. Cyber Monday is always the following Monday.
More specifically, Black Friday 2023 is taking place on November 24; Cyber Monday 2023 is happening on November 27. 📅
Before you mark your calendars though, you should be aware that the deals usually start a little earlier. So you can expect to see discounts offered even a week early. Of course, it’s worth taking a look at what those deals and discounts actually look like. 👀
During Black Friday 2022 and Cyber Monday 2022, there wasn’t a clear winner in terms of which deals were better. 🤷♂️
Depending on where you looked, you saw similar offers. Bundle deals on new products, free smartphones when you signed up for contracts, maybe a 10% discount on a TV, etc.
These are okay savings, but they’re not really all that appealing. 😕 We expected better deals than what we found.
We have similar predictions for the 2023 sales this year. If you really want to save big on expensive items, you shouldn't just wait around for Apple deals on Black Friday.
As mentioned, you can expect to find similar sales during Cyber Monday and Black Friday.
The main difference between them is simply where they take place. Cyber Monday is an online shopping event, and Black Friday is an in-store shopping event (traditionally anyway).
Whether browsing online retailers or doing some in-store shopping though, it’s always the tech products that get the most attention. 💻 Their discounts are usually the biggest, and they’re also the greatest in demand. So these are smartphones, laptops, game consoles like the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, TV deals, etc.
Of course, tech doesn’t have a monopoly on the event. You can find deals on all kinds of items from clothes to even groceries sometimes. Of course, household appliances from vacuum cleaners to coffee machines to air fryers also get a lot of attention.
Here on Back Market, it doesn't matter if it's Black Friday or Cyber Monday or Yellow Thursday or any other day. Everything is always available between 30% to 50% off compared to their new equivalent. Every day, all year round. 😎
iPhones, Samsung Galaxy phones, tablets, MacBooks, gaming consoles – all tech items are refurbished by certified professionals. They ensure the item is 100% functional, with any worn-out parts having been replaced.
Plus, that work is covered by a 12-month minimum warranty. Plus, you get a 30-day return window if you’re not happy with the purchase. It’s a completely guaranteed sale! 👍
The difference between Black Friday sales and Cyber Monday offers is minimal today. What you need to know is that there will be many promotions. . . but they're mainly promoted deals you can find any day of the year.
It’s uncommon to truly save big these days, and it’s a much better idea to shop refurbished. To us, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are just regular old days since Back Market offers amazing prices all year round! No need to put off shopping for that perfect Christmas gift anymore. 😉
