As inflation drives up prices, consumers are more than ever on the lookout for good deals. The concept of private sales is a good way to save money, just like sales and cashback. If you haven't yet dared to take the plunge, here are 5 tips to know to make good deals thanks to private sales.
1- Sign up for alerts
A private sale refers to a sale reserved for a limited number of privileged customers (invited to the store or registered on the website). Initially confidential, this type of sale has become much more democratic in recent years thanks to specialized websites.
Moreover, while this concept originally concerned the clothing sector, it has since been extended to many other fields. Today, private sales allow consumers to enjoy good deals in various sectors that go well beyond the destocking of ready-to-wear: beauty, high-tech, decoration but also travel...

To take advantage of these great deals, all you have to do is create an account on a specialized site by giving your email address and then sign up for alerts and notifications.
2- Beware of impulse buying
The way private sales sites work is that they send you emails or notifications to inform you of when the next sales of a particular product will take place.
The prices displayed are so interesting (with discounts ranging from -20% to -70%) that it is easy to be tempted by just about anything and everything! That's why our second tip for getting good deals is to resist impulse buying.
Just like during sales periods in stores or online, it's best to take stock of what you really need or want before visiting the private sale site and filling your cart.
3- Be reactive
Nevertheless, once you are sure of the items you need, you need to be quick and responsive to take advantage of the great deals on private sales sites.
As this concept is currently booming but the stocks offered are limited, you should not waste time to validate your cart on the day.
As a general rule, once you have put an item in your cart, that product is reserved for you during a fairly short period of time of about fifteen minutes.
4- Be persistent
If you're too late and miss a great deal on your favorite private sales site, don't get discouraged too quickly!
It's quite common for other customers to give up on an item, return the pieces they ordered, or for a new shipment to come online.
Checking the site again a little later, within an hour or a few days, you may be pleasantly surprised to find the product you wanted.
5- Take advantage of the right of withdrawal
The private sales system tends to amplify impulse buying because no one likes to miss out on a good deal offered for a very limited time. It sometimes happens to get carried away by the effect of flash sales that encourage buying in a hurry...
So, if your crush of the moment turns out to be disappointing in the end, be aware that you have a 14-day withdrawal period, as with any other online purchase.
To conclude, the private sale system allows you to take advantage of particularly advantageous prices if you use it wisely, by defining your needs beforehand and setting a budget.
