Early Black Friday sales have already started in Ho Chi Minh City. Many people shop before the official date, so they can see how to get good deals and avoid common mistakes.

At a retail venue, buying at least five items gave a 10 % discount and buying ten or more gave a 15 % discount. Shoppers often invited friends or relatives to join their orders so they could reach these numbers and save more.

Some clothing items were shown with 80‑95 % off. However, the lower price was based on the listed price, which does not always match the real market price, so the product may not be cheaper than usual.

A YouNet ECI report said 68 % of online shoppers think price is the most important factor, and 53 % say promotions matter. The report also advises shoppers to compare prices and think about what they really need before buying extra items just to get a volume discount.

Early promotions can give real savings, but only if shoppers check the real price and buy what they truly need. Comparing prices and avoiding unnecessary extra items is the safest way to benefit from early Black Friday sales.
