Saving Money on Bridal Accessories Online
With so many bridal websites all selling the same bridal tiaras, veils and jewelry, it's fairly easy to compare prices. But there are other money saving tips that will help you the find bridal accessories you want at prices you can afford.
Sales in the months of October through January tend to be the slowest in the bridal industry. This is the time to look online for special discounts, buy-one-get-one-free, and clearance products. Most sites put their returned merchandise on "clearance" and there is nothing wrong with these items, they just didn't meet the needs of the original buyer.
Flat rate shipping is another great way to save by shopping online. If you can purchase a bridal tiara and five brooches for your bridesmaids and only pay one price for shipping, it's much less expensive than per-item shipping costs. Some advertise "free shipping on orders over $100." This won't do you any good if you're looking for two sets of earrings. Always look for flat rate shipping when you have a choice.
Many bridal websites now have their own blogs. This is a great way to find contests and free giveaways. Again, they may be giving away some of their returned merchandise, but you might be lucky enough to win the perfect wedding veil. Blogs are also a good place to find announcements such as "20% off all our earrings for this month only." The age of the blog and the number of posts determines how much traffic it receives. If you enter a contest on a newer blog, you may find very little competition and stand a much better chance of winning free bridal accessories.
Plan ahead and try to shop for discount bridal accessories online during the slower months. Carefully read the shipping instructions and choose flat rate shipping when available. Look for clearance items. Read the website's blog posts to determine whether they sponsor contests or giveaways. All of these will help you save money buying bridal accessories online.(EzineArticles.com)
