Black Friday: Consumers on alert – What they should watch out for

Black Friday: Consumers on alert – What they should watch out for
In Greece for 2024, Black Friday is Friday, November 29.
Black Week in Greece

Black Friday started in 2018 in Greece and has expanded into a whole week of deals, known as “Black Week”. And in 2024, stores start their offers from Monday, November 25, and not just Friday, November 29.

This year, like last year, there will be no mid-November sales, allowing small and large businesses to offer bigger discounts earlier.

Three days later Cyber ​​Monday follows, exclusively for online shopping with big discounts. In 2024, Cyber ​​Monday will take place on Monday, December 2.

Black Friday: What you should pay attention to in your purchases

The Union of Consumer Workers of Greece of GSEE advises consumers to be extremely careful and not to be tempted by seemingly impressive offers.

Especially this year, with punctuality taking its toll on family budgets, prioritizing needs and market research are becoming more necessary than ever.

The Union proposes the observance of five rules which, as it considers, ensure that consumers do not fall victim to “offers”:

To do market research and check not only the price (original and new) but also the quality of the products. They should also search the internet for the price of the product they are going to choose by code or model number, so they can be sure that the price they have found is the best.

To delineate their needs and plan with a list the purchases they are going to make, which will keep in line with their personal or family budget avoiding reckless spending

To be informed of the details and terms of their transaction when purchasing products in installments. Especially for credit card purchases, always be informed of the terms and conditions of the particular purchase. In particular, they should investigate whether and to what extent interest is imposed on this market, since, in this case, the cost of the purchase increases rapidly.

Products must carry the original price and the offer price (not the discount percentage). Attention! Offers often say no changes, so if you regret it, you can’t change

Always ask for the receipt for the products they have purchased. In the event that the product is defective and they wish to return or exchange it, proof is required.

He also notes: It would be good for everyone to know that the consumer frenzy created by marketing techniques (Black Friday, opening of shops on Sundays, white nights, etc.) has the effect of subconsciously exerting psychological pressure on the consumer, who feels he “must” take advantage of the offers by rushing to the shops. In today’s context of explosive precision in essential goods, the consumer must make his purchases with prudence and caution.

### Explanation of Important Sections

– **Ad Handling**: The code handles ⁤removal ⁣and loading⁢ of AdSense ads based on the presence⁤ of identified elements (`.adsense-for-mobile` and `.adsbygoogle`).

– **Push Notifications**: It utilizes OneSignal to manage push notifications.

– **Commenting⁣ System**: It sets up Disqus for user comments‌ on pages.

– **Dynamic Script Loading**: The asynchronous​ script loading is ⁢managed​ through the ⁣`asyncLoadScript` function. You would need to implement this function to handle loading scripts dynamically.

– **Timers**: The use of `setTimeout` indicates that there are delays⁣ before ⁣certain scripts are loaded ‍or actions are taken.

– **Conditional Checks**: These checks ensure scripts are only loaded if ‍certain conditions are met, which helps in optimizing the ​page load time.

This setup is useful for managing ads and other integrations efficiently on a web platform, especially in a dynamic content environment.⁤ Remember to replace placeholder comments and strings with actual values specific to⁢ your⁤ implementation.
