While some people eagerly anticipate Macy’s Black Friday, seasoned holiday shoppers have their sights on the retailer’s other mega sales event, Cyber Monday. Besides deeper discounts on fine jewelry and premium brands like Calvin Klein and Michael Kors, the event may feature major sales throughout the retailer’s brand-new toy department. Best of all, Macy’s Cyber Monday sale is still early enough to guarantee shipping in time for the holidays.
Thousands of products go on sale across all departments during Macy’s Cyber Monday event. Clothing and kitchen products typically see the most sales, followed by gift-worthy items like beauty, fragrances, fine jewelry, handbags and bedding. For shoppers looking for big-ticket items this year, they’ll likely find deep discounts on mattresses and furniture.
It’s no secret that this year’s holiday shopping season will be much different than previous ones. As far as how Macy’s handles Cyber Monday, the retailer provides shoppers with a few new tools to optimize and enhance their shopping experience.
Looking at Macy’s current deals may give shoppers some idea of which products may go on sale for Cyber Monday. It’s wise to brush up on new products and holiday releases that have been recently added to the site, including Geoffrey’s Hot Toy List and beauty gift sets. While they’re not on sale now, there’s a good chance many of them will be marked down.
Signing up for emails is an easy way to stay on top of Macy’s Cyber Monday deals. Macy’s shoppers and cardholders can opt-in to the retailer’s emails that feature upcoming sales, including the coveted Cyber Monday circular. The BestReviews email newsletter also shares helpful tips for navigating the Cyber Monday sale at Macy’s.
Macy’s shoppers can maximize savings on Cyber Monday by joining the retailer’s loyalty program, Macy’s Star Rewards. Besides earning points with purchases that turn into Star Money coupons, the program gives members exclusive access to sales, personalized perks and offers. The program is currently available to both non-cardholders as cardholders.
Many shoppers add Black Friday sale items to their Macy’s cart with no intention of actually buying them on Black Friday. Instead, they hold out to see whether they’re cheaper come Cyber Monday. While it’s somewhat of a gamble, many shoppers feel it’s a risk worth taking since some products may be an additional 10%-40% off.
Other shoppers use Macy’s Black Friday circular as somewhat of a filter for predicting Cyber Monday sales. When products aren’t part of the Black Friday sale at all, it could be because Macy’s is reserving them for Cyber Monday. There’s also a chance that products only marginally marked down for Black Friday, namely 25% or less, may have the sharpest price drops during the Monday event.
Macy’s Cyber Monday deals are yet to be announced, but in the meantime, these are the top products expected to be on sale during the event.
