With Black Friday around the corner, everyone is looking for a bargain to finish off their renovation or take advantage of the sales to give their home a makeover before Christmas. There are a few key things to consider before the sales arrive, and trust us when we say preparation is key!
Is it just a flashy offering, or a genuine bargain?
Many brands will be advertising sales all month long, so it’s a good idea to understand what their standard prices are before getting bamboozled with crazy discounts. Remember, some places that have higher discount offerings, might not always be the cheapest in the end. But they’ll certainly take advantage of people looking to impulse buy without thinking past the flashy offering, particularly during the madness that is Black Friday.
Where are the true cost savings?
Australian’s are savvy shoppers, and right now we’re all looking for ways to create a stylish home makeover during a tough economic climate. A home renovation isn’t something you want to rush or fail to put proper thought and research into. It’s your home after all, and you want your investment to actually stand the test of time.
When it comes to an element such as window furnishings, did you know that you can save money right off the bat by looking at DIY options? DIY doesn’t mean that you’re sacrificing on style or quality, in fact quite the opposite. When not needing to pay for a specialist trade to come out to measure or install, you save straight away.
You also want to make sure you’re looking at a good quality product that you won’t need to replace or send to landfill, and a brand that will stand by it. Tuiss Blinds Online for example, offer a free, 5-year extended warranty on all of their blinds, shutters and curtains. They also offer a SureSize Measuring Guarantee to give you peace of mind for a stress-free measuring experience, replacing the blind should any of the measurements be incorrect.
look for brands that you can trust
An important step is to look for customer reviewed brands, not just the brand themselves telling you that they’re amazing on social media, but reviews from real life customers who have bought, installed, and experienced the product in their home. ProductReview.com.au is a great place to get this information. Tuiss Blinds Online has nearly 6,300 unbiased reviews, with 97% of those reviews being positive. They’re also a five-times Product Review award winner, backing the business for their excellent customer service, easy to install blinds and perhaps most importantly, great value for money.
be clear on what you want to buy, before getting caught up in the sales
A good idea is to work out exactly what you need before the sales. In terms of window furnishings – are you looking for automation? Energy saving solutions to bring down your power bills? Exclusive designer brands without a hefty price tag? Or even no-drill blinds suitable for a rental property?
You might start by making a checklist of your needs in a particular room, and then work out which products match those needs. Consider all aspects of the functionality, as well as the aesthetics of how a product will make your room look and feel.
The next step is to finalise your fabric choices. This one requires some planning ahead to make the most of Flash Sales. Order your free fabric samples ahead of key sales periods, to give yourself time to choose your favourite and ensure it works with your interior colour palette. You want to be 100% happy with the colour and texture, rather than making a rushed decision during a sale and then regretting, or needing to replace the items because they just don’t work in your interior. Tuiss will let you order up to 10 free fabric samples at a time. Then you might bookmark your favourite product page so you can head straight there when the sales are on!
Get your measurements ready to go
With handy step-by-step guides on measuring, the Tuiss website will ensure that you have checked, and double checked your measurements so that your blinds and curtains will be spot on for your windows. If you’re still hesitant, don’t forget that they offer a SureSize Measuring Guarantee for peace of mind.
Having your measurements confirmed and ready to go means you won’t miss out on the quick Flash Sales or Bonus Offers if you can’t find your tape measure, or need someone to give you a hand. Preparation is key, remember?
So, we’ve worked out which products you need, selected your favourite fabric, confirmed all the measurements and even bookmarked the website. The next thing is to keep an eye on socials or the newsletters to see when these sales go live!
We’ve got something special for you though. Tuiss have shared their secret – they have sales running for the entire month of November! And as their regular prices are already lower than competitors, the sale prices are a proper bargain! There will be various time limited bonus offers throughout the month too, so get ready and make sure you don’t miss out!
