<p><strong>NOW CLOSED</strong> &#8211; As New Zealanders navigate the cost of living crisis, there&#8217;s a silver lining for gaming enthusiasts.</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://www.pricespy.co.nz">PriceSpy&#8217;s</a> latest research findings, gaming goods may offer some of the best Black Friday discounts going &#8211; providing gamers an ideal opportunity to upgrade their gaming setup, grab an early Christmas gift or buy a game at a more affordable price.</p>
<p>Key Research Findings:</p>
<ul>
<li>Across the shopping category of <a href="https://pricespy.co.nz/category.php?k=626">&#8216;games &amp; consoles&#8217;</a>, PriceSpy’s Price Index* shows a notable -10.24 per cent drop on Black Friday compared to the start of the year (1 January 2022).</li>
<li>Compared to a standard shopping day (1 November 2022), three-fifths (59 per cent) of products &#8216;games &amp; consoles&#8217; experienced price reductions on Black Friday last year.</li>
<li><a href="https://pricespy.co.nz/category.php?k=2128">PlayStation 5 games</a> particularly stood out for good discount offerings, with 65 per cent of items showing price drops on Black Friday 2022.</li>
<li>Items that reduced in price by 10 per cent or more saw an average price change of -44 per cent PlayStation 5 games.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Liisa Matinvesi-Bassett, New Zealand country manager for PriceSpy, says: </strong>“Despite today’s cost of living crisis, our ongoing research highlights that Black Friday still offers promising saving opportunities &#8211; especially for gamers.</p>

<p>“However, it remains extremely important for shoppers looking to take part in this year’s sale season to conduct thorough pricing research before making a purchase, for several reasons, as outlined below.”</p>
<p><strong>Price Points Have Increased This Year</strong></p>
<p>As shared in PriceSpy’s <a href="https://newsroom.pricespy.co.nz/posts/pressreleases/pricespy---black-friday-report-2023-2">2023 Black Friday Report</a>, average standard prices across many popular shopping categories were found to have increased this year:</p>
<ul>
<li>80 per cent of the 25 categories PriceSpy researched had more expensive standard average prices in 2023, compared to in 2022;</li>
<li>Specifically, the average price of game consoles rose by seven per cent**.</li>
</ul>
<p>Liisa continues:  &#8220;While Black Friday traditionally offers enticing discounts, our findings underscore the need as to why consumers need to conduct thorough price research to ensure they&#8217;re getting genuine deals, especially at a time where we&#8217;ve seen overall price increases.”</p>
<p><strong>Reason 2  &#8211; Beware of Fake Sales on Black Friday</strong></p>
<p>The term ‘fake sales’ or ‘rollercoaster pricing’ as it may otherwise be referred to, is whereby a retailer gradually hikes a product’s price, before suddenly dropping the price and advertising a discount based on the highest previous price. For example, claiming a discount of 50% compared to the previous day’s price, but &#8211; if compared to the price 30 days ago &#8211; it may only be a 20% discount.</p>
<ul>
<li>Interestingly, PriceSpy’s research found approximately 10 per cent of all products listed under the shopping category of &#8216;games &amp; consoles&#8217; were subjected to being a &#8216;fake sale&#8217; on Black Friday last year.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Reason 3 &#8211; Not All Black Friday Prices Mean Savings<br />
</strong>PriceSpy further cautions shoppers that Black Friday prices aren’t always synonymous with discounts.</p>
<ul>
<li>Historical data from the price and product comparison site shows found that 12 per cent of products listed under the category of &#8216;games &amp; consoles&#8217; saw price increases on Black Friday last year, compared to a normal shopping day (1 November 2022).</li>
</ul>
<p>Liisa concludes: “Our extensive research confirms that Black Friday is one of the cheapest days of the year to shop in New Zealand. While there are indeed significant discounts to be found, our analysis also uncovers some dubious sales tactics.</p>
<p>“It&#8217;s crucial for consumers to be aware that not all deals are as beneficial as they appear. In some instances, prices for products on Black Friday are actually higher, and on other occasions, prices are being hiked before Black Friday to make a discount appear better than what it is.</p>
<p>“This underlines the vital need for shoppers to be sceptical of face-value prices during Black Friday sales and always carry out important price research. Tools like PriceSpy, which provide detailed pricing histories, are invaluable in helping shoppers understand past price trends and make more informed purchasing decisions.”</p>
<p>No matter what shoppers are looking to buy this Black Friday following PriceSpy’s smart shopping strategies will help shoppers always stay on top of sneaky sales tactics.</p>
<p><strong>PriceSpy’s Smart Shopping Strategies</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Quality over newness</strong> &#8211; Consider older, well-reviewed models, which are likely to offer better value and saving opportunities.</li>
<li><strong>Historical pricing analysis</strong> &#8211; Don’t just look at the current price or discount being offered. Assess the product&#8217;s price history to gauge the real value of the deal.</li>
<li><strong>Price comparisons</strong> &#8211; Utilise PriceSpy to compare prices across retailers and make the most of price matching where available.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>NOW CLOSED</strong> &#8211; Amidst a global cost of living crisis when price points are otherwise more expensive, new pricing research conducted by PriceSpy suggests gamers may be in luck this Black Friday.</p>
<p>According to PriceSpy’s Price Index data, the shopping category of games and consoles appeared to deliver the biggest overall Price Index drop on Black Friday last year &#8211; at -10.04%.</p>
<p>What’s more, 34 per cent of <a href="https://pricespy.co.nz/category.php?k=1707">PlayStation 4 games </a>were found to have dropped in price by 10% or more on Black Friday last year, and the average price change offered to shoppers was an impressive -34%.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-54106" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/god-of-war-review-2022_6.jpg?x59030" alt="" width="1600" height="900" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/god-of-war-review-2022_6.jpg 1600w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/god-of-war-review-2022_6-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/god-of-war-review-2022_6-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/god-of-war-review-2022_6-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/god-of-war-review-2022_6-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /></p>
<p>Liisa Matinvesi-Bassett, New Zealand country manager for <a href="http://www.pricespy.co.nz/">PriceSpy</a>, says:  “Based on our research, we’re expecting lots of discounts this Black Friday, which is great news for anyone looking to save some money.&#8221;</p>
<p>Overall, PriceSpy’s research revealed on Black Friday last year (2021):</p>
<ul>
<li>Almost two-fifths (38 per cent) of all products listed on PriceSpy dropped in price &#8211; and of these items, a fifth (19%) received a discount of 10% or more.</li>
<li>And across the products that dropped in price by 10% or more, the average price change on Black Friday was -21%.</li>
</ul>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-57453" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Top-five-games-November-2022.jpg?x59030" alt="Pricespy November 22 Giveaway" width="1748" height="1240" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Top-five-games-November-2022.jpg 1748w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Top-five-games-November-2022-300x213.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Top-five-games-November-2022-1280x908.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Top-five-games-November-2022-768x545.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Top-five-games-November-2022-1536x1090.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1748px) 100vw, 1748px" /></p>
<p>But popular doesn’t always deliver the biggest discount.</p>
<p>“It’s really important that shoppers do not fall into the trap of thinking popular equals big discounts, as even though our research found that ‘<a href="https://pricespy.co.nz/category.php?k=103">mobile phones</a>’ generated the biggest level of consumer purchase interest on PriceSpy last Black Friday, the Price Index change was much lower compared to <a href="https://pricespy.co.nz/category.php?k=626">games &amp; consoles</a>.” says Liisa.</p>
<p>According to PriceSpy’s price index data, on Black Friday last year, the indexed price change across the most-popular mobile phones was -4.32%.</p>
<p>In comparison to games &amp; consoles, it was more significant, at -10.04%.</p>
<p>“With so many discounts happening over the next few weeks, for anyone looking to make a purchase, whether it be a new console, a new game or an older one, the key to finding the best deal is to plan ahead and conduct essential price research – look at price points from different stores and be sure to check a product’s price history,” says Liisa.</p>
<p>To help shoppers find the best deals over Black Friday, PriceSpy is sharing its top tips to help people win at sale shopping.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-57454" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Pokemon-Scarlet-and-Violet.jpg?x59030" alt="Pokemon Scarlet and Violet" width="1280" height="720" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Pokemon-Scarlet-and-Violet.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Pokemon-Scarlet-and-Violet-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Pokemon-Scarlet-and-Violet-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>PriceSpy’s top three shopping tips on how to win at sale shopping</strong></p>
<p><strong>Preparation is key</strong></p>
<p>The best chance of finding a good bargain comes from preparation. If shoppers know in advance what they are interested in, they’re less likely to get carried away by the hustle and bustle of a sale. And don’t forget to set up a price alert on PriceSpy &#8211; as this feature automatically updates shoppers if a price suddenly drops.</p>
<p><strong>Check out the competition</strong></p>
<p>Before you buy, take time to check if an offer is as good as it sounds by sussing out the competition. Is the same TV set available at an even better price elsewhere?</p>
<p>Price points can vary massively depending on where you buy – by checking out prices from shop to shop, you can potentially save thousands!</p>
<p><strong>Check the price history</strong></p>
<p>As well as looking for the best price from competitor shops, be sure to look at a product’s price history.</p>
<p>This vital piece of research is key in helping shoppers make informed purchase decisions, as they can see if the price being offered is genuine.</p>

<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-40919" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Untitled-1.png?x59030" alt="Competition is now closed" width="994" height="98" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Untitled-1.png 994w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Untitled-1-300x30.png 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Untitled-1-768x76.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 994px) 100vw, 994px" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>NOW CLOSED</strong> </span>&#8211; With Black Week upon us, <a href="http://www.pricespy.co.nz/">PriceSpy</a>, the fully impartial price and product comparison site, is revealing its top game predictions ahead of the biggest of the sale days, Black Friday.</p>
<p>Before gamers rush to the malls to snap up the deals being offered by retailers, the pricing watchdog is encouraging shoppers to carry out pricing research ahead of people buying and to look out for products that increase in price across the big sale days.</p>
<p>According to new pricing insights released within PriceSpy’s new Black Friday Report, almost a fifth (18 per cent) of all products listed on PriceSpy reduced in price by at least 10 per cent or more on Black Friday last year. But, 12 per cent of products also received a price hike on the sales day (Black Friday vs to 1 November 2020).</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-53568" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Call_of_Duty_Vanguard_35.jpg?x59030" alt="Call of Duty: Vanguard" width="1920" height="1080" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Call_of_Duty_Vanguard_35.jpg 1920w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Call_of_Duty_Vanguard_35-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Call_of_Duty_Vanguard_35-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Call_of_Duty_Vanguard_35-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Call_of_Duty_Vanguard_35-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></p>
<p>And if you’re tempted to shop early this year, especially with shipping delays affecting product availability and customer demand skyrocketing for items like graphic cards, consumers should be wary that not everything is necessarily cheaper.</p>
<p>Liisa Matinvesi-Bassett, New Zealand country manager for PriceSpy, says: “Our pricing data found almost one in ten (eight per cent) of products listed on our website increased in price before Black Week last year, to then get discounted on Black Friday, making the sale appear better than what it was.”</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-53592" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Pokemon-Brilliant-Diamond-screen.jpg?x59030" alt="Pokémon Brilliant Diamond" width="2000" height="1125" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Pokemon-Brilliant-Diamond-screen.jpg 2000w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Pokemon-Brilliant-Diamond-screen-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Pokemon-Brilliant-Diamond-screen-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Pokemon-Brilliant-Diamond-screen-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Pokemon-Brilliant-Diamond-screen-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px" /></p>
<p>So, how can shoppers seek out the best deals around? Here’s PriceSpy’s top sale shopping tips:</p>
<p><strong style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">Check out the competition</strong></p>
<p>First things first – take time to check if an offer really is as good as it sounds by sussing out the competition. Is the same game, console or controller available at an even better price elsewhere?</p>
<p>Using the <a href="http://www.pricespy.co.nz/">PriceSpy</a> app will help you do this, as it provides access to thousands of prices and products instantly.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t get confused by the big discounts</strong></p>
<p>Even if the product you are looking to buy is being advertised with a price drop, don’t take the retailers word for it. Use a price comparison site or app, like PriceSpy to check out the product’s price history.</p>
<p>On PriceSpy, we let shoppers see just how much price points fluctuate every day with the price history feature.</p>
<ul>
<li>It provides full transparency to consumers, so they can see if a store has raised the price of the product ahead of the sale day to make the discount offered on Black Friday appear better than it is.</li>
<li>It also allow shoppers to see if the product they are looking to purchase can be bought for less out of season or at a different time of year.</li>
</ul>
<p>And if the deal isn’t as good as what it should be, we encourage people to be prepared to walk away.</p>
<p><strong>Preparation is key</strong></p>
<p>The best chance of finding a good bargain comes from preparation. If shoppers know in advance what they are interested in and have a rough idea of the price, they’re less likely to get carried away and buy the wrong thing during the sales event. Create a wish-list of products and keep it updated with different prices.</p>
<p>We also suggest people set up a price alert for the items they are looking to buy.  The PriceSpy app or website will then automatically notify shoppers as soon as the prices drop, so they don’t miss the boat.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p>Liisa concludes: “When it comes to making the most of Black Friday, preparation is key. Whether shopping in-store, or bargain hunting online, shoppers should research items they want to buy well in advance rather than splashing out on a whim.</p>
<p>“The PriceSpy app and website is designed to help consumers conduct research quickly and easily.  They can even check out delivery costs, delivery times, whether products are in stock and for online shopping, whether click and collect is available. It couldn’t be easier.</p>
<p>“Otherwise, shoppers can head to the PriceSpy website as we have collated <a href="https://pricespy.co.nz/theme/black-friday">the best Black Friday deals and offers</a> in one easy place.  People can the sort by best offer, popularity, price drop and more.”</p>

<p>At the top of the list is FIFA 21 (PS4), which launched late last month and has already witnessed an early Black Friday price drop, currently selling for $59*.Other popular Black Friday predictions,include: Nintendo Ring Fit Adventure (Switch); Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales (PS5), and Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4), which is due for release next month.</p>
<p>Liisa Matinvesi-Bassett, New Zealand country manager for PriceSpy, says:“After a crazy year where new game purchases were put on hold due to Covid-19 restrictions and lockdowns, we’re expecting Black Friday to be big this year, as gamers will want to make up for lost time.</p>
<p>“In fact, according to a recent PriceSpy survey, 50% of Kiwis intend to purchase something this Black Friday, spending on average $464.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48675" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screenshot_4.jpg?x59030" alt="Pricespy Video Gaming Data" width="1799" height="1013" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screenshot_4.jpg 1799w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screenshot_4-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screenshot_4-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screenshot_4-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screenshot_4-1536x865.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1799px) 100vw, 1799px" /></p>

<p>Liisa continues:  “As well as games dropping in price on Black Friday, with two sparkly. new consoles released earlier this month, Black Friday may also offer a good time for gamers to pick up great deals on older consoles.  But before shoppers splurge the cash, we strongly recommend they conduct important price research.</p>
<p>“On Black Friday last year, the shopping category of <a href="https://pricespy.co.nz/category.php?k=401">game consoles</a> was third most-popular on PriceSpy and the most-popular product overall was the <a href="https://pricespy.co.nz/product.php?p=3154603">Nintendo Switch</a>.</p>
<p>“But, shoppers need to remember – not everything is discounted on Black Friday, as even though the Nintendo Switch was most popular, our pricing data revealed the console increased in price (up 8%).</p>
<p>“There are however some great deals to be found on Black Friday, but shoppers need to do their research.  For example, the shopping category of games and consoles offered the biggest overall average discount on Black Friday, at -11% across all items.  Compared to other shopping categories, the discounts were less significant &#8211; mobile phones for instance, only offered an average discount of -2%.”</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48677" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screenshot_7.jpg?x59030" alt="Pricespy Black Friday 2020 Data" width="1799" height="1010" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screenshot_7.jpg 1799w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screenshot_7-300x168.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screenshot_7-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screenshot_7-768x431.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screenshot_7-1536x862.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1799px) 100vw, 1799px" /></p>
<p>Source: PriceSpy</p>
<p>To help gamers ensure they’re getting the best Black Friday deals, follow PriceSpy’s thee simple shopping steps:</p>
<p><strong>Step one – Be prepared and stay focused</strong><br />
Firstly, make a list of the items you are consciously looking to buy, similar to what you might do with a supermarket shop. You can do this quickly and easily using PriceSpy’s list feature, so that your ultimate wish-list is in the one place.</p>
<p>When out shopping in-store or online, be on guard – as retailers are experts at grabbing our attention, distracting us with tempting offers and discounts to encourage us to buy more. Don’t fall into this trap. Instead, stick to the list you’ve pre-prepared.</p>
<p><strong>Step two &#8211; Conduct price research</strong><br />
Once you’ve compiled your sale shopping list, we strongly suggest you carry out important historical price research.</p>
<p>You can do this quickly and easily using a price comparison website, like PriceSpy. Not only will this save you time, but it will help alleviate some of the pressures people feel when sale shopping.</p>
<p>Simply search for the product you want to buy and click on the historical pricing feature. The website will then bring up the cheapest price the product has been sold for by day, so you can get a clear perspective on how much a product &#8216;really&#8217; costs.</p>
<p>So, even if an item is being discounted by 20% for example on Black Friday, shoppers can see if it is cheaper to buy at different times of the year.</p>
<p>If the product appears to be cheapest on PriceSpy, then great, you may have found yourself a bargain – move on to step three!</p>
<p>If the product appears to cost less at another time of the year, then this should be a red flag! At this point, ask the retailer if they’re prepared to drop their price to match what the product is being sold for at a different time of year.</p>
<p>If they are unable to do this, be prepared to walk away and think of the money you have saved yourself.</p>
<p><strong>Step three &#8211; Compare prices across multiple shops</strong><br />
Once you’re confident the price being offered by the retailer on the sale day is a good deal, the next step to take to ensure you are getting the cheapest price possible is to conduct a quick price comparison check against other retailers.</p>
<p>Again, using the PriceSpy app or website can help shoppers do this research quickly and easily, rather than wasting hours trawl across multiple stores.</p>
<p>Even though products have an RRP (recommended retail price), more often than not, comparing prices between retailers can change massively. Carrying out this research can potentially save you a couple of hundreds of dollars, if not more in some instances.</p>
<p>Finally, if you’re shopping online, don’t forget to double-check shipping fees, as this could bump up the overall price you end up paying. And, if you’re buying from overseas, you may also want to consider delivery times.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48394" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/spiderman-miles-morales-ps5-playstation-5.jpg?x59030" alt="Spider-Man Miles Morales PS5" width="1600" height="900" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/spiderman-miles-morales-ps5-playstation-5.jpg 1600w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/spiderman-miles-morales-ps5-playstation-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/spiderman-miles-morales-ps5-playstation-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/spiderman-miles-morales-ps5-playstation-5-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/spiderman-miles-morales-ps5-playstation-5-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /></p>
<p>Liisa concludes: “Prices changes every day – multiple times a day. One way to make sure you’re never paying over the odds is to use a price comparison site, like PriceSpy. Simply have a look at the historical pricing of the product you are looking to buy, to make sure it is fair and reasonable.</p>
<p>“For those looking to buy a brand new game release, if the Black Friday price isn’t as big as what you expected it to be, another great buying tip is to wait three months after the game is first launched – as our historical pricing data suggest this is when prices start to reduce.</p>

<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #4c4c4c;"><span lang="en-US">New data released from the fully impartial price and product comparison service, </span></span><em><a href="https://pricespy.co.nz/"><span lang="en-US">PriceSpy</span></a></em><span style="color: #4c4c4c;"><span lang="en-US">, reveals the number of Kiwis searching out Black Friday discounts is growing exponentially, increasing for a second year running.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">Liisa Matinvesi-Bassett, New Zealand country manager for </span><em><a href="https://pricespy.co.nz/">PriceSpy</a></em><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">, says</span><span style="color: #4c4c4c;"><span lang="en-US">: “Black Friday is fast becoming a serious sales shopping day for Kiwis who are looking to buy products at a more affordable price ahead of Christmas. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #4c4c4c;"><span lang="en-US">In 2016, </span></span><em><a href="https://pricespy.co.nz/"><span lang="en-US">PriceSpy</span></a></em><span style="color: #4c4c4c;"><span lang="en-US"> witnessed a 61% per cent year on year increase in visitor numbers on Black Friday and last year this number grew a further 14 per cent.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #4c4c4c;"><span lang="en-US">Liisa continues: “According to our historical data, Black Friday is now three times larger than any other Friday during November, demonstrating just how popular it has become amongst price-savvy shoppers.”</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #4c4c4c;"><span lang="en-US">Liisa adds: “Our insights reveal Kiwis are also strategic about when they shop, as online traffic starts to peak around midnight the night before Black Friday, with many offers starting then.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">“<span lang="en-US">These numbers then tail off during the early hours of Black Friday morning before picking up again and peaking between 06.00 and 08.00.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">“<span lang="en-US">Whilst Black Friday is traditionally a day for deals, for the last two years our figures show 10 per cent of all products listed on </span></span><em><a href="https://pricespy.co.nz/"><span lang="en-US">PriceSpy</span></a></em><span style="color: #4c4c4c;"><span lang="en-US"> actually received a price hike on Black Friday. Similarly, 17 per cent of the top 100 products listed on our site last Black Friday, also increased in price by an average nine per cent.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">“<span lang="en-US">We therefore couldn’t recommend strongly enough that consumers need to do their research ahead of time, as there’s nothing worse than making a purchase to later find you could have bought it cheaper on another day.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #4c4c4c;">“<span lang="en-US">We suggest consumers start using a price comparison site early, to help them get a feel for what kind of products will carry the biggest discounts, as this will help to save time searching on the day.”</span></span></span></p>
