Black Friday Wishlist Playbook: Turn Browsing into Buying

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the highest-stakes shopping days of the year. This playbook shows how to turn a chaotic browsing session into a calm, fast checkout using Wishr.

Step 1: Build Your Pre-Event Wishlist (Now)

• Create a dedicated list named “Black Friday 2025.”

• Add key details: target price, size, color, alternatives.
• Prioritize items so you can move fastest when deals drop.

Step 2: Set Smart Targets and Backups

• Note your “buy price” for each item so you don’t overpay under pressure.
• Add 1–2 alternatives per item (different brands or retailers) to hedge against stock-outs.
• Capture essential specs to avoid returns later (materials, model numbers, sizing).

Step 4: Track Price Drops and Stock Volatility

• If the price dips below your target, act—doorbusters can be limited.
• Keep backup links in each item to pivot instantly if a retailer goes OOS.

Pro Tips for Maximum Savings

• Watch for “open-box” variants that meet your spec for less.
• Don’t chase every price—stick to your target to avoid regret buys.

After Black Friday: Clean-Up and Optimize

• Mark delivered items, remove duplicates, and move remaining wishes to a “Holiday” or “2026” list.
• Note what worked and what didn’t—future you will thank you next year.
