NEW YORK, Oct. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Alongside the recent release of Apple's iPhone 5, many consumers are eager to get their hands on the latest products in the electronics market. However, a recent article from Fox Business reveals that for those looking for a deal, October may not prove the best time to shop for electronics. According to the article, "While [October] is the time to get brand-new technology, [it is] not the month to get a discount on the latest in personal electronics." However, Simply Electronics, trusted online retailer, explains that while traditional holiday sales are a great time to buy electronics, consumers should stay wary of where to purchase low-priced items all year round.
Simply Electronics prides itself on being a leading online retailer that sells products from trusted electronics brands at less-than-retail prices. In response to recent observations regarding seasonal sales, Simply Electronics comments in a recent press statement, "While many electronics are typically available at great prices during holiday sales, the truth of the matter is that any consumer can find affordable deals anytime of the year they want." The company also adds that constricting shopping to holiday sales can result in disappointment, as many popular items can run out, leaving the hopeful consumer empty-handed when it comes to gift exchanging.
On the subject of new devices, Simply Electronics reminds consumers, that many times newly-introduced products will have a variety of technical kinks to work out. For this reason it is important for consumers to make sure that they get a reliable warranty with any electronic device. For instance, Simply Electronics offers "Full Apple Warranties" on Apple products, such as the latest iPad 3.
For consumers who are not as concerned with fresh models, Fox Business reveals that October is actually a great time to purchase older versions of electronics. In the article, Jim Barry, spokesman for the Consumer Electronics Association states, "When it comes to older models of personal electronics, manufacturers and retailers tend to drop prices on earlier models when the new stuff hits the stores. So if you [do not] have to have the latest version, you could save up to 15 percent to 20 percent on the gadget of your dreams."
In response to this retail trend, Simply Electronics adds in its press statement, "Many consumers focus on new models without realizing that very dependable, older models can be attained for a fraction of the price. Simply Electronics carries a wide variety of electronics, new and old, to meet the needs of consumers. In addition, our company is dedicated to providing low prices, quality service and free shipping even before the holiday season nears."
