Day After Thanksgiving Shopping Tips

This year, as Bradley Square Mall prepares to open its doors to holiday shoppers at 6:00 a.m. on November 27 for the ultimate jump-start on Black Friday bargains, the popular holiday shopping destination wants their guests to be armed and ready to take advantage of every precious shopping minute.

“Preparation is the key to holiday shopping on Black Friday,” said Stacia Crye-Shahan, marketing manager for Bradley Square Mall. “It’s simple. The more organized and prepared you are, the more opportunity for getting the best deals.”
Bradley Square Mall, a shopping haven that houses a collection of brand name retailers including, Aéropostale, American Eagle, Bath & Body Works, Finish Line, Hibbett Sports, and Maurices, offers the following must-have advice for guests to gobble up the extraordinary savings on the first official holiday shopping day of the season.

1)Revitalize- Enjoy a hearty Thanksgiving meal and have someone else do the dishes so you’ll be energized and ready for a good dose of holiday shopping at 6:00 a.m. the day after Thanksgiving.

2)Be Savvy, Study!- To ensure a successful shopping experience, the day must be well researched and planned. Do your homework on big-ticket items ahead of time and create a master list of gifts you would like to purchase, so your day will go more smoothly.

3)Map it Out- After your list is complete, create a plan of attack. Be sure to consider the location of each store you want to visit, the items you’ll need from them and the times that coupons expire. Lucky for you, there are over 30 stores at Bradley Square Mall so you won’t waste any valuable shopping time.

4)Power Up!- The key to capturing all the great deals is to stay well nourished and hydrated. Pack some almonds and cashews and a water bottle along with tissues, hand sanitizer and anything else you may need throughout the day.

5)Be an Early Bird: Be among the first at the stores that matter to those on your list. Early openings were made for serious shoppers like you, so grab your coffee and get going!

6)Foot Fetish- Fashionable high heels and sexy stilettos may be on your master list of gifts, but they should not be on your feet while shopping! Wear comfortable shoes with cushioning at the ball and heel, or buy specially made gel inserts so you can travel comfortably from store to store.

7)Walk it Out- While the spot near the entrance may be calling your name as you circle through the parking lot over and over again, save yourself the time and energy and choose the spot farther away. Not only will the fresh air keep you awake and on your toes, but you’ll also avoid the traffic of the parking lot the closer you are to the exit!

8)Get in the Spirit- Mood has a lot to do with your success- stay positive and you’re sure to find the best holiday gifts!
