ALONE, AN ESTIMATED 188 MILLION
SHOPPERS MAKING PURCHASES.
SO WHERE ARE THEY SHOPPING?
THE MOST VISITED WEBSITES:
AMAZON, TARGET, WALMART, BEST
BUY, AND KOHL’S.
I WAS RECENTLY INSIDE AMAZON’S
DISTRIBUTION SITE IN SHELBY
TOWNSHIP.
HERE, THE WORK IS DONE 24/7 TO
GET THE ITEMS YOU ORDER ONLINE

AND TOY DEALS ALL OVER THE WEB.
AMAZON SLASHING PRICES ON LEG GO
GO -- LEGO SETS.
AND IT’S A GREAT DAY TO BUY
SMART PHONES AND CLOTHING.
MANY HAVE SPECIAL DEALS ONLINE
AS WE CONTINUE TO DEAL WITH THE
PANDEMIC.
IT’S A GOOD TIME TO REMIND YOU
AND ENCOURAGE YOU TO SHOP SMART
ONLINE.
USE A CREDIT CART BETTER THAN A
DEBIT CARD BECAUSE IT OFFERS
PROTECTION.
AND MAKE SURE THE WEBSITE YOU’RE
ON IS LEGIT AND NOT FAKE.
AND BEWARE OF E-MAILS SET UP
AFTER YOU MAKE A PURCHASE.
SOME ARE WORKING TO GET YOUR
PERSONAL INFORMATION.
IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT A
PURCHASE, CONTACT THE RETAILER
YOURSELF.
>> ALWAYS PAY BY CREDIT CARD.
NEVER BY A DEBIT CARD BECAUSE
THEY CAN GET ACCESS TO YOUR
CHECKING OR SAVINGS ACCOUNT.
AND IF YOU’RE USING A THIRD
PARTY, KNOW HOW YOU CAN VERIFY
WHAT THEY HAVE ACCESS TO.
>> Hank: USE A CREDIT CARD.
IT OFFERS YOU MORE PROTECTION.
YOU’LL LIKELY BE ABLE TO WORK
WITH THE CREDIT CARD COMPANY TO
GET YOUR MONEY BACK.
RETAILERS ARE DEFEND SEPARATE
RIGHT NOW FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND
MONEY, SO EXPECT NEW DAILY DEALS
UNVATD FROM TARGET.COM EVERY DAY
UNTIL CHRISTMAS.
BLACK FRIDAY DEALS WILL BE
OFFERED BY WALMART THROUGHOUT
DECEMBER.
AND IT’S TIME TO MAKE THEIR
MONEY BACK.
>> Rhonda: AND IF YOU’RE NOT
GOING WITH A TRUSTED RETAILER OR
ONE THAT YOU KNOW, CHECK THE
REVIEWS ON THESE OTHER SITES
BECAUSE SOME DEALS SEEM GREAT
AND THEY MAY HAVE HORRIBLE
REVIEWS.
>> Hank: KNOW WHAT YOU’RE BUYING
AND MAKE SURE YOU’RE ON THE REAL
WEBSITE AND PROTECT YOURSELF.
>> Rhonda: THE BETTER BUSINESS
BUREAU IS A GREAT RESOURCE.
CHECK THE NAME OF THE COMPANY
AND MAKE SURE REVIEWS ARE OKAY.
>> Evrod: AND I LOVE CYBER
MONDAY BECAUSE I CAN GET
EVERYTHING DONE IN ONE SITTING.
>> Rhonda: AND NOW IS THE TIME.
