6 Insider Tips for Scoring the Best Deal This Black Friday
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are just around the corner, and it's the perfect time to snag a deal on a smart bird feeder. But with so many options, how do you know you're getting the best value?
Here are 6 hidden discount entrances that brand's official website won't tell you about:
1.Sign Up Before You Shop
Before you add anything to your cart, look for:
- A “Enter your email for free gifts ” text
- A first-time customer pop-up
- A “Get 10% off your first order” banner
Many brands offer 10–20% off your first purchase, free shipping, or an exclusive code just for subscribing. Some of them don’t even require a subscription — you just need to provide an email address.
Pro tip: Do this a few days before Black Friday if you can. Some brands send early access links or “VIP-only” discount codes to email subscribers before the sale goes public.
2.Add to the Car, then Walk Away (Cart Abandonment Hack)
This sounds weird, but it works more often than you’d think.
- Log in or create an account on the brand’s site.
- Add the product(s) you want to your cart
- Close the tab and don’t check out right away.
Some brands track abandoned carts and will send you:
- A reminder email
-
Plus an extra incentive like “Here’s an additional 10% off” or “Complete your order for free shipping”
It doesn’t always happen—but when it does, it’s easy extra savings for doing basically nothing.
3.Stack Your Savings: Sale Price + Promotion Code
Don’t stop at the big Black Friday discount on the homepage. In many cases, you can get the Promo code from:
- The E-mail
- A “welcome” popup
-
The Product Details Page
Not every brand allows stacking — but when they do, you can turn a good deal into a crazy good deal.
Pro tip: Before you check out, quickly search your E-mail or the brand's website to see if that brand is offering a promotion code on top of the sale.
Best Deal Tip:
Buy 2 or more Kiwibit Beako™ smart bird feeders — just add them to your cart, and the extra discount will be applied automatically at checkout. 👉 No code needed. This is the best way to save!
4.Use Free Shipping & Threshold Discounts to Your Advantage
On brand websites in the US, you’ll often see things like:
- “Free shipping on orders over $50”
- “Spend $100, get an extra 10% off”
- “Tiered deals” (e.g. Extra $30 off over $300, Extra $50 off over $500, etc.)
Instead of paying $7.99 for shipping on a $45 order, it can be smarter to:
- Add a small accessory, refill, or add-on product
- Cross that free-shipping or extra-discount threshold
- Save more overall while getting something useful
Especially for devices (like smart bird feeders, smart home gear), it’s a great moment to grab accessories you’ll probably need later anyway.
5.Don’t Click Away Too Fast—Watch for Exit Pop-Ups
Some brands run “exit intent” pop-ups during Black Friday/Cyber Monday.
What that looks like:
- You move your mouse toward the back button or close tab
- Or you leave the page idle for a bit
- Suddenly: “Wait! Here’s an extra 10–15% off if you stay with us”
Not every site uses this, but for the ones that do, you might unlock a better price just by taking your time and not rushing through checkout.
6.Join the brand’s Facebook group or follow their accounts on other platforms
Some new brands are often eager to grow their fan base in the early stages of promotion, and the earlier you join, the more likely you are to enjoy some extra perks, such as:
- Additional brand discounts
- Opportunities to become a tester for new products
- Anniversary gifts from the brand
- Exclusive thank-you gifts for returning customers
One Last Tip: Prepare Before the Big Deal Starts
A little planning goes a long way:
- Make a list of your "want to buy" brands and products
- Create accounts and sign up for emails before Black Friday
- Bookmark the product pages you care about
That way, when the deals go live, you’re not just clicking “Buy Now” — you’re stacking discounts, grabbing gifts, and walking away knowing you paid way less than the average shopper.
