How to find the best deals during Amazon Great Indian Festival 2021 sale?

Compare before you buy

The single most effective thing you can do during online festive season sales is compare prices before you decide to pay. Both Amazon and Flipkart are known to match prices for some of the most common deals during these festive season sales. Buying an iPhone during the Amazon Great Indian Festival 2021 sale? Make sure you check prices on other online marketplaces too. Getting a great deal on a big-screen TV on the Great Indian Festival 2020 sale? Make sure you see what others are offering before you buy.

You should factor in all the available bundled offers as well. This means, exchange offers, possible additional discounts on some payment methods, cashback offers, brand-specific exchange incentives, and no-cost EMI offers. At times, you can end up with a better overall deal even if the discounted price on a different platform is more.

Look out for previewed deals, plan early

Amazon Great Indian Festival 2021 sale has already started previewing some of the major upcoming offers. The online marketplace will reveal a lot more deals in the next two days. You can start making a wishlist of items you want to buy to keep an eye on how the prices shift. You're also more likely to receive alerts (if you've set them up on the Amazon mobile app) when the products on your wishlist go on sale during the Great Indian Festival sale. Plan what you really need to buy so that you don't end up with a heavy credit card bill due to a big unplanned session of impulse buying.

Navigate like a pro

Any online festive season sale is big, but Amazon's is probably the biggest. You'll end up missing the best deals if you don't know what to look for and where. Make sure you have the mobile app updated if you're going to be on the move when the sale goes live. Shopping on the desktop website can be much quicker if you've got all your personal, shipping, and payment details saved. Once the sale goes live, it's always better to directly search for products or visit category pages to see specific deals rather than sale pages.

Arrive early during the sale

The best deals on Amazon Great Indian Festival 2021 sale could survive anything from a few minutes to an hour at the most. If you're lucky, it'll be available again the next day, but you don't want to take any chances. To make sure you grab those 'crazy' deals, you'll need to arrive early. If you've already set goals for a particular deal, you should keep that product page open, and refresh it just when the sale goes live.

Sign up for Prime

Amazon Prime subscribers will get early access to the Great Indian Festival 2021 sale, just like they do for all sales. In case you're still not a member, see if you can get a membership from your telecom operator. Some mobile tariff plans include Amazon Prime membership for a limited period.
