How to Find Secret Sales

How to Find Secret Sales



Secret sales are opportunities for consumers to get big discounts on different types of products from their favorite retailers. Secret sales are not usually publicly advertised and may only last for a couple of days. You can use different methods to find secret sales.









Step
1



Contact the store to inquire about any upcoming sales events. During peak sale seasons, call your favorite store to see if they have any unpublicized sales events coming up in the next few weeks.




Step
2



Sign up on a retailer's website to receive notifications. If you opt to receive sales updates from a store, then they'll probably notify you of any secret sales that are occurring.




Step
3



Get a store credit card. Store cardholders are often told of secret sale events that the retailer is sponsoring.




Step
4



Join a listserv. Secret Sales is one website that gives shoppers a heads-up on secret sale events that are taking place online and in stores.




Step
5



Browse online shopping forums to see if you can find out if any stores in your area plan to have a secret sale. Look on any forum website that focuses on shopping to see if you can swap information on secret sale events. Deal of Day has a shopping forum section on their website.







Tips & Warnings









Certain stores are known to hold secret sales often. Wal-Mart is one store in particular that has numerous secret sales all year round.








Although a sale may be advertised to you as "secret," it is better to get to the retailer early to make sure you get your hands on the sale items you want.
