Black Friday deals have started. Every year, shoppers struggle to get the things they want on the day due to numerous supply chain issues. That’s why we recommend jumping on the holiday deals that are available now rather than waiting for Black Friday. Many retailers choose to start their holiday sales early, so already at this point you will find plenty of tech gadgets and devices that are getting significant discounts. If you’re looking for a popular smart speaker like the Amazon Echo Dot, you should probably pick it up now.
While you’ll likely find bigger discounts for Amazon Echo devices on the day, you should definitely consider buying one now. Not only can you still save money, but you don’t have to wait weeks to get your Amazon Echo Dot. While everyone is frantically trying to settle for Black Friday, you’re listening to music on your new smart speaker.
If you’re waiting for Black Friday Echo deals, there’s a chance you won’t be able to get the product in time for the holidays. If you get it as a Christmas present for your friends and family, you may not be able to give it until January. We often see these extremely popular smart speakers going on backorder before Black Friday even starts. You don’t want to get stuck in a situation where you have a bunch of smart devices around the house but don’t have a speaker to control them.
Due to the popularity of Amazon Alexa-enabled speakers, the Amazon Echo and Echo Dot are almost always sold out on Black Friday. There’s nothing more daunting than checking your cart on Black Friday and realizing that nothing you’ve added is in stock. Last year’s supply chain issues are likely to continue into this year, so make sure to get your Echo Dot as soon as possible.
If you’re still on the fence, think about it this way. If you wait until Black Friday, you might be able to save a few bucks. However, if you don’t get it on time – let’s say there are shipping delays or you have to wait for it to be back in stock – then all that waiting seems a bit pointless. Get it now for a great discount and enjoy using your new Echo Dot right away.
