Hack #1: Make Use of Major Sale Periods<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nThe foolproof way to save a ton of money when shoe shopping is to find out when sneakers go on sale<\/a>. Usually, the best deals come during Black Friday <\/strong>and Cyber Monday<\/strong> in late November annually. This is the biggest shopping event of the year, and virtually any sneaker brand and digital marketplace always participates with massive discounts on a wide range of styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLet’s take our online marketplace, the SNKRDUNK App, for instance. We’ve got some tantalizing sneaker deals coming soon for Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2024. Did someone say up to US$300 off?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, there are also other major sale periods to look out for, like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- \u2022 Boxing Day (Late December)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- \u2022 Chinese New Year (Late January\/Early February)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- \u2022 Memorial Day (Late May)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- \u2022 Labor Day (Early September)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- \u2022 Brand Days (Nike’s SNKRS Day, adidas’ \u201cCONFIRMED\u201d drops, New Balance’s \u201cGrey Day\u201d etc.)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Capitalizing on all these major sale periods will ensure you get great discounts, all year round. By doing so, you’ll be one of the smartest sneaker shoppers in the game. The caveat is to get in early and keep your finger on the pulse of your favorite marketplace or brand so that the silhouette of your choice doesn’t slip away when the barrier of entry is lowered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nHack #2: Capitalize on Ongoing Deals and Promotions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nThe difference between this and the first hack is that these happen either consistently or more regularly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think of things like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- \u2022 Retailer and marketplace sales and clearance sections:<\/strong> Many retailers and digital marketplaces have dedicated sale sections on their websites, apps, and in-store, offering discounted sneakers throughout the year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n- \u2022 Membership programs:<\/strong> Joining retailer, brand, or digital marketplace membership programs can provide exclusive discounts, early access to sales, and other perks. Looking at the SNKRUDNK App<\/strong> once again, we can see things like our November Free Shipping Program<\/strong>, Welcome Coupon Code<\/strong>, and Refer a Friend Program<\/strong>. If you’re interested in learning more, this article<\/strong><\/a> explains the nuts and bolts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n- \u2022 Brand outlets:<\/strong> Outlet stores often have lower prices on past-season models and clearance items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n- \u2022 Flash sales and limited-time offers:<\/strong> Keep an eye on retailer and marketplace websites and social media for flash sales and limited-time promotions on sneakers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What you can do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
