What are Some of the Best Days to Be a Techie?
The most wonderful time of the year isn’t just for kids anymore. And it certainly comes more than once a year! Here are some of the best days for techies.
As businesses approach the fourth quarter of 2016, it is indeed the most wonderful time of the year for tech lovers. Some of the best deals on computers, TVs, phones, and many other technical devices can be found throughout Q4 of any business year. With that said, let’s take a look at some of the best days of the year for techies!
Black Friday
Of course Black Friday is the first date that comes to mind when dealing with sales of any kind! Retailers are making their big push into the holiday season so their end of the year sales numbers look as strong as possible. For consumers, there are both apps and websites dedicated just to the sales that are available on this date. If they’re willing to get to a store at 5AM (or sometimes even earlier), techies can snag themselves some great buys.

Cyber Monday
For those who prefer not to camp out to get one of the three available Xbox One’s on sale for $99, Cyber Monday offers an excellent alternative. Supplies are not nearly as limited, and the stores to choose from are greater. Between Amazon, eBay, NewEgg, TigerDirect, and Woot alone, techies can compare and contrast both performance specs and prices of the items on their wish list.
Prime Day
Speaking of online retailers, Prime Day on Amazon is another day to grab fantastic deals on technology. From Amazon exclusive devices to PCs and TVs, Amazon drops the prices on much of their inventory for their exclusive 24-hour sale. This year’s Prime Day, July 12th, was the biggest day in the history of Amazon, so expect it to be back and bigger than ever next year.
Saturday Before Father’s Day
Retailers seem to discount techie goodies before father’s day, assuming that many dads out there are techies. Here’s the thing; even if a dad in your life isn’t a techie, but you are, you can still score some great deals. If you’ve been looking longingly at a 4K TV to watch Netflix content on, I’m sure “dad” could use one of those!
First Day of E3
E3 is the mecca of technology, and going through E3 is like waking up on Christmas morning for adults who love technology. Video games, mobile devices, and advances in AI (artificial intelligence) or AR (augmented reality) are all revealed at E3 throughout the course of the event. That first day, when techies get to see what vendors have been planning for over a year, isn’t like much else.
