Annihilate Black Friday
We read here in the comments that you do not want posts about “Black Friday”, they say, tired of the countless stories of its appearance and the facts about this day. U.S. too! Moreover, firstly, on Black Friday, Chinese retail barely manages to catch his breath from 11.11, and secondly, we regard Black Friday as a reason to give discounts to those who are yawning and did not have time to order gifts ... for the New Year. Therefore, today we will tell you what is in store for you, and at the same time we will reveal a few tricks of online stores that force you to buy a lot, often and at any time. Inside, discounts and a bit of banality - inside.
You can lure customers in different ways, you can play with him, and you can cheat, you can be friends, and you can lose. But the best way is to just inform. For example, every time we are not lazy to create bright and informative landing pages for the English version of the site and for the Russian version . These pages are the main headquarters and sales, and flash sales, and other activities and gifts.
Speaking of New Year's gifts , we will start with banalities. Whatever we choose and no matter how sophisticated, our children (and parents!) Want to get a smartphone or a tablet as a gift, and better both, and more, without bread. And it’s not at all necessary for a child or mother to watch a video, like baking a pie and plant a tomato, to have something branded when there are proven Chinese manufacturers with cute and affordable options.
For example, a tablet from a popular brand that was once engaged in the manufacture of components for a large market share of tablets - Tclast Master T8 . This tablet runs Android 7.0, has a powerful MTK8176 Hexa Core processor, 8.4-inch display, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB (256 GB card expansion) of internal memory. The device is distinguished by a camera - a front 13 megapixel and the main 8 megapixel with a flash. This is a very reasonable decision - after all, using a tablet, we often talk on Skype than take pictures, which means that the front camera should be more functional. The battery is very good - 5400 mAh. The tablet is protected by a durable aluminum alloy back cover. If it is important to someone, please note that the tablet works in Wi-Fi networks and does not support SIM cards.
But a more convenient option is the 10.1-inch tablet VOYO i8 Plus 4G Phablet . Unlike the previous one, it works with a SIM card in 4G networks, which means it unties you from Wi-Fi and can be a means of communication, a navigator, and a card. But in general, the characteristics are more modest: 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of built-in, 3 megapixel front camera, main 12 megapixel, 5000 mAh battery. But the price is only $ 183.72 - a great option for a first tablet for a teenager, on the road, for a student, etc.
Of interesting smartphones (except Xiaomi, which came under a large assortment), there is an interesting HOMTOM S9 Plus 4G that has already been tested by our customers for $ 179.99. Smartphone with 5.99 'display looks quite nice and "adult" in the hand. The 8-core processor copes with any problems with a bang, the 4050 mAh battery is responsible for the durability of this bright and truly high-quality screen. The front camera of 13 megapixel will please fans of selfies, and the main one, like in the best houses of London, is double: 16 megapixel + 5 megapixel. This means that the pictures will be worthy of such a screen. This smartphone can be addressed to both a teenager, and a business dad, and a working mom (especially beautiful is blue - it stands out among the black and space-gray rectangles).
Well, in our opinion, the most versatile gift from 7 to 107 years old is the rebirth of the legendary unkillable MiBand Xiaomi Amazfit A1603 . He is much more elegant than his grandfather, holds a charge for up to 60 days, is waterproof and still removes and fixes steps, calories, distance, informs about calls and messages. And it's very cool that Xiaomi released virtually the same MiBand, but in a case that you are not ashamed to wear a business suit and that does not look like a bracelet from a nightclub or hotel. Although, I must say, a simple black silicone strap has become a peculiar sign of people who monitor their health (well, or those who even tried).
In one of our old articles, we wrote that we are waiting for a drone from Xiaomi. And then it was just an assumption that quickly transformed into a real gadget - the drone XIAOMI Mi. This quadcopter with 3 axes of stabilization, able to shoot video in 4K. The maximum range of control - 3 km, height - 800 m, can be controlled from a tablet or smartphone. For the drone, you can customize the trajectory and route of flight, he knows how to fly around objects in a circle. Battery 5100 mAh provides 27 minutes of flight. The quadcopter weighs 2.4 kg, is quite compact and transportable. On sale, it will cost you only $ 500.33. The price, in principle, is not high, if you remember, with which device you need to compare it :-) And it’s really closer to the top phantom flyers than to the mass market.
And again, preparing for your review, we used Yandex. Advisor, who says that we are cheaper. Checked - not flattered.
Most headphones of this type are positioned as gaming, but we have already found another use for this EACH G2000 model . This is a rather “deaf”, perfectly fitting headphones with a microphone and noise cancellation. That is why these are ideal headphones for office work in a noisy openspace or among colleagues who are constantly trying to get something for an endless cup of tea. Yes, and they are not bad for music - of course, avid audiophiles will be unhappy, but for omnivorous audiophiles who like to listen to rock at full volume, this is a good option. For $ 15.99 such headphones can be presented for the New Year by both the programmer, who transfers the office life, and the young (or over-age) gamer.
Well, if someone from home or friends poses as a video blogger, then give him (her) a studio microphone . It easily connects to a computer, produces a clear sound with good noise reduction, and is also suitable for recording video clips (including business), and for communication, and for voice acting amateur video.
New Year is always a special light. Residents of all countries of the world especially try to illuminate houses, courtyards and streets, turn on millions of garlands, light bulbs, candles and even authentic oil lamps, giving an incomparable warm and soft light. Of course, we will not sell you an oil lamp, but please, please use the Xiaomi Yeelight 220V E27 light bulb. This is a 4000K, 600 Lm smart lamp, which is screwed into a conventional cartridge, controlled from any smartphone and lives for 11 years. That is, IoT in 2028 is already being transformed into some other technology, and the lamp will continue to shine in your home. Even scary to imagine this future. By the way, the lamp is friendly with the IoT protocols and is easily integrated into the smart home system. But this light bulb is generally our favorite, it gives out light and color that can be customized to your mood. With Russian short daylight hours - just a must have and almost an antidepressant.
Continuing the theme of holiday lighting, we found a reason to please the little leaders of the Redskins, who are waiting for the New Year many times stronger than you and I put together. For them, you can decorate the house with luminous techno-figures, like this one . The device absolutely does not beat in the eyes, it shines softly and pleasantly. The figure is small, only 20 cm, so you can pick up several options. There is a bear , an owl , Master Yoda , a dolphin , etc. Even Cthulhu was seen.
Instead of the usual garland with light bulbs, you can use Xiaomi LED garland - it shines brighter, it has more colors and is controlled from the phone. And most importantly, it consumes less energy and is not heated.
But this product definitely has nothing to do with geeks or the New Year, but we could not pass by (like hundreds of customers) - it’s just, forgive me, mimi some. This panda participating in the flashsail will be a good talisman for the child at school, for the student, and for the adult in the office. And on an ordinary date, such a surprise will only improve the atmosphere. The toy runs on a battery, made of eco-friendly and very durable PVC, and it can be given to children who have already ceased to pull everything into the mouth (this happened to us at about 4 years). The animal can kiss, react to your actions and, of course, sleep.
By the way, do you know how much effort China put in to restore the panda population? The Chinese do not even sell young pandas, but rent them to zoos of the world, and at a certain age they take them back to provide them with the right care for a long healthy life. However, some pandas even need translators - they need to master the commands and words in a new language.
A little more than a month is left before the New Year and it's time to gather a list of desires, take the letters to Santa Claus from the younger ones and take on the duties of wizards. It's time to make family and friends happy, drink mulled wine and eat Olivier, go ice-skating and watch “The Magicians” on the sofa with a bowl of tangerines just around the corner. Who if not us?

Tricks of online stores
- Sites hide coupons. These virtual codes give a chance to buy really cheaper, but finding them is not so easy. By the way, we don’t sin with this - all coupons can always be found in our blog, on promotional pages (sometimes in game form) and in VKontakte groups.
- The most civilized and technically cool trick is a one-click purchase. It is implemented, for example, in Amazon. The speed of completion of the process makes it more likely any spontaneous purchase. Therefore, it is better to use the old-fashioned basket in order to review the chosen one, specify the discounts, and then place an order. By the way, one-click purchase becomes possible because you save your data and link a card to the store. You can refuse this practice.
- Innocent newsletters, letters and newsletters no, no, yes, and encourage to purchase. By the way, there is nothing bad in it - for example, before the holiday you can find out about discounts on potential gifts to loved ones. At Gearbest, we always try to match the title of “technological Chinese store” and, besides the usual channels, we talk about discounts in our Telegram , on Facebook and VKontakte .
- Some stores leave unchanged the counter, which allegedly indicates the end of the sale or the depletion of goods in stock. We love counters so that no one is late and is left with nothing, they are real and move. You can check on any landing of our sales.
- Of course, any store sets up targeted advertising - on banners on the Internet, you see the products you need, the ones you have watched, as well as complementary to them or similar. By the way, setting up such an advertisement is an exciting analytical story.
- But what we don’t accept is huge banner banners, animations and other things that prevent you from reading or watching what you’ve visited on another site. The measure in advertising - a pledge of loyalty to the store.
- By the way, another technically difficult and not entirely honest trick is to change prices depending on a person’s location. This sin airline, ticket aggregators and some luxury goods. It's easy to protect yourself - browse the sites in incognito mode.
- The best reviews are placed upside down the block reviews. Be sure to read all the reviews - and not even to give up on the product, but to get information. So, for example, often for one asterisk is not a claim to the product, but a claim to delivery or a claim to the fact that the bonus was not placed in the package. And the product itself is described as excellent.
- The despicable trick is to put as a gift what is included in the kit. Well, this is how to sell MiBand and write that strap inside as a gift. This, as a rule, is not disdained by little-known stores, since such behavior severely harms the reputation.
You can lure customers in different ways, you can play with him, and you can cheat, you can be friends, and you can lose. But the best way is to just inform. For example, every time we are not lazy to create bright and informative landing pages for the English version of the site and for the Russian version . These pages are the main headquarters and sales, and flash sales, and other activities and gifts.
