Christmas Shopping Doesn’t Need to be Hard if it’s With Huge
We all look forward to the end of the year, where we can laze around our swimming pools with an icy cocktail and some music in the background. However, we also know that in order to earn this hard-earned reward, we still have to pay our dues by braving the malls in search of the “perfect gift” to complete our Christmas shopping list.
Slightly less relaxing, we’re sure you’ll agree.
Taking the Stress out of Christmas Shopping
Hopefully, we’ve caught you early enough for you to benefit from a few practical ideas on how to enjoy a restful and stress-free holiday season.
Start Last Year
Black Friday and Cyber Monday see brilliant cost savings on everything from perfume to drum kits. A little forward planning allows you to source gifts for your loved ones at super-low prices and just squirrel them away for a little while. Perhaps grab some gift wrap on Boxing Day or during that awkward time between Valentine’s Day and Easter when not much is going on – you know you’ll need it the following December.
Plan Ahead
Don’t leave everything until the last minute. Yes, you tell yourself this every year, but there is absolutely no feasible reason to shop at the busiest and most expensive time of year if you don’t have to. Perhaps write your list of who you are shopping for and ideas on what they would like during the year and look out for specials as they arise.
Timing
If you must go to the malls, then go super-early: early in the month, the week and the day. Most retail stores will have extended shopping hours to make life easier for you but getting in early when everyone else is still enjoying their bacon and eggs will pay dividends in time (and your mental health.)
How Huge Eases Your Shopping Experience
Huge Connect is all about connectivity – we are pretty sure you know that by now. But what does that have to do with your Christmas shopping?
Our connectivity systems form the silent backbone of many retail stores.
When you need these shoes in black and your friendly shop assistant does a quick check online and requests a pair from their nearest store that’s testimony to a stable and reliable wide-area network (WAN) which is part of what we do.
When you call your favourite shop for some information and they answer your call clearly and promptly without placing you in a queue, that’s very likely an example of a robust and fast IP telephony system which keeps customers and retailers connected.
Perhaps you’ve watched with pleasure how the queue that you were facing with dread is moving quickly, as the shoppers ahead of you have their cards processed in record time and leave with a smile and a bargain. Yes, you guessed it. This is no doubt due to a fast and reliable Huge Connect connection supporting their POS devices with a failover system guaranteeing that they will always have a connection.
What If you’re doing your Christmas shopping online? Once you find what you want, you click to check out and are thrilled to enjoy a fast, secure shopping experience. That may well be a business who has a dependable, always-on internet connection with a Cloud storage system for speed and security.
We at Huge Connect have worked hard to ensure a stress-free Christmas shopping experience by developing lightning fast, reliable connectivity solutions for retailers – at Boxing Day prices. You may not see us while you shop, but our silent systems are busy in the background making your day just that little bit easier.
