With constantly evolving technology and new models being released each year, how do you know when is the best time to buy a new TV? With some strategic planning and these handy tips, you can save money on your next TV purchase. Let’s take a look at some of the best times to buy a TV.
1. Black Friday
Black Friday is known for its massive sales and discounts, and TVs are no exception. Many retailers offer huge deals on TVs during this time, making it a great opportunity to upgrade your set. Do your research beforehand and read reviews to ensure you're getting a good deal on a quality TV.
Be a financially smart family!
2. Super Bowl season
Any Super Bowl fan knows that the big game will probably look better on a big TV, and retailers know this, too. Many electronics stores offer TV sales and promotions to attract customers looking for the perfect game day viewing experience. This is also a good time to find discounted prices on last year's models.
Tip: Look out for bundle deals that include sound systems or streaming devices.
3. End-of-year clearance sales
Leading up to the new year, retailers are looking to clear out old inventory and make room for new models. This means you might find great deals on TVs during clearance sales. Keep an eye out for specials or promotions advertised in-store or online.
Tip: Shop at smaller, local electronics stores for potential discounts on specific brands and features.
4. Amazon Prime Day
Amazon Prime Day is another major shopping event where you can find deals on a variety of products, including TVs. Keep an eye out for promotions or discounts on specific brands or models.
5. New model releases
When new TV models are released, retailers may offer discounts on older models to clear them out. Keep track of when new models are expected to be released and look for deals on last year's models.
Tip: Know your budget and desired features beforehand to avoid getting overwhelmed by the options.
6. Slow season sales
Similar to other products, TV sales tend to peak during the holiday season. Consider shopping outside of this busy period, such as in early spring or late summer, when retailers may offer promotions to attract customers.
Tip: Look for deals on open box or floor models for even bigger savings.
Timing your TV purchase strategically can lead to significant savings. By planning around Black Friday, Super Bowl season, end-of-year clearance, Amazon Prime Day, new model releases, and shopping during slow seasons, you’re likely to snag a deal that aligns with both your budget and your desire for crisp, cutting-edge technology.
