Online shopping hacks every Flexxer needs to know

We know for sure that nobody likes to be pushed, shoved, grabbed and at the end of the day, slave under the scorching sun because of a piece of clothing. So, why would you shell out loads of cash wasting time and wandering about the market when there are smarter ways to go about it?

Shopping online affords you the luxury of being in the comfort of your space and have the items you love delivered right to your doorstep. This is how to shop smart.

1. Look out for discount and sales. A lot of retailers offer discounts and sales on new items, restocks from time to time; sometimes as much as 50% so be nimble because most of these items sell out real fast.
2. Use your student discounts. If you’re a student, it might interest you to know that a number of brands give back-to-school price slashes to students which usually range between 15-20%. So whenever its back to school season, be sure to search for these deals online!
3. Sign up for brands and online store newsletters. Quite a number of online stores and brands give a certain amount off on your first purchase when you subscribe to their newsletters. Create a folder for them in your email so when you want to shop, you can easily sift through the deals.
4. Follow on social media. Keep in touch with your favourite brands and online stores via social media; watch their stories, set post notification and be the first to know of price slashes, special promos, etc.
5. Follow the Flexxzone for flexxclusive deals.
