It’s nearing the end of the year, and no doubt there will be a race to snag Christmas gifts for your families, friends and loved ones for the next couple of months leading up to December. And of course, since you’ll most likely be getting gifts for more than just one person, you’ll more than likely want to do your gift shopping as money-smart as possible.
Thankfully, Lazada has got you covered, thanks to their upcoming 11.11 sale. This yearly affair is highly-anticipated among shoppers across sunny Singapore, and for good reason.
The eCommerce giant knows what one likes, and slaps tantalisingly attractive discounts on such items, especially when these sales happen. And we’re here to help sift out some of the best deals you might find here. But before we get down to it, we thought you might want to know about ways in which you can slash those prices even further before the big day itself.
There are a couple of different methods to get some juicy discounts, but the one we feel is most beneficial is Slash It, which is happening right now, leading up to 11.11.
Navigating there might be a little tricky, so we’ll describe it to you. Basically, on the main 11.11 sale page, head over to “Guidebook”, located at the top corner of your screen (we’ve circled it out for you in the image below for your convenience). Once there, you should be able to find the Slash It button, which will then lead you to the deals.
Now that’s out of the way, let us describe how Slash It works.
How it works is that, when certain Slash Deal for a particular item goes live, you’ll clicking the “Slash Now” button located to the side of these items. The total number of slashes for each item varies. Since you can only Slash It yourself for that item once, you then can slash the price further by inviting a friend on the Lazada app over to do so for you. You can conversely help slash prices for your friends (where then you can start your own “Slash It!” campaign). It’s that simple.
This particular promo is a really good way to get discounts to ridiculously low prices, especially if you get more friends to help you.
In fact, here are some geeky Slash It deals you can try out in the coming days leading up to 11.11!
