After Christmas Sales: Better Than Black Friday-Cyber Monday Deals, Mega-Savings On Clothing & Electronics
After Christmas Sales are going strong this holiday season, proving to be stronger than discounts and bargains during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. Across the U.S., after Christmas sales are turning out to be a profitable week until New Year's.
Online retailers like Amazon are the biggest players during the week ending New Year's, offering a number of hefty discounts.
According to the Verge, "TVs, both 4K and 1080p, and even a few surprises like Newegg offering $350 off the full price of a 13" Retina MacBook Pro. Dell is discounting most of its tablets and laptops, and if you still don't own a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, the popular Destiny and Call of Duty bundles" are available. But only for a short time.
Mark LoCastro of DealNews, which traces pricing strategy, "If you thought Black Friday sales were good, after-Christmas sales should break a few records of their own," ABC news reported.
According to DealNews, 45% of after Christmas sales are likely to target clothing sales with retailers like The Gap, Express, Banana Republic, Macy's and New York & Co will tend to have the best after Christmas sales.
