Are you planning to purchase a Dell computer? Until you do so, you can read the following advice, as it will help you save a lot of money on your next computer purchase. I'd like to give you some insight on Dell and their marketing/pricing strategy before we get started. Dell Computers is the world's largest computer manufacturer and retailer. They account for around 15% of all computers sold in the United States. Since Dell only builds computers when they are ordered, it is able to maintain very low inventories and, as a result, a very low price. Furthermore, a Dell can only be purchased from Dell. They don't sell anything in supermarkets. There are no middlemen!
Dell uses a range of media platforms to spread the word about their low prices. You've already seen their TV commercials or full-page newspaper advertisements. If you've done business with Dell before, you might have got a catalog. What you probably didn't realize is that the prices of these seemingly similar systems differ significantly depending on where you saw the advertisement. This is the first of many lessons about how to be "Dell smart." Dell's device pricing is not straightforward. This means that the price you pay will be highly influenced by where you heard about the device contract.
So, if Dell does not price computer system advertising consistently, where do you go to get the best deal? The answer is simple: the Internet. I don't mean going straight to Dell.com when I say "web." To become "Dell smart," you must pick a Dell machine that is suitable for you and meets your requirements. Shoppers for computers sometimes overspend on features they would never use. Look for a purchasing guide on your favorite search engine. After you've narrowed your search, return to your search engine (I use Google) and type "model name + analysis" into the search box. Read a few independent articles about the model you've chosen to see what others have to say about it. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the system?
Let the real money saving begin now that you know what you're looking for! Return to your chosen search engine and type in "Dell Coupon Codes." In exchange, you can receive a list of Dell affiliate websites that offer FREE Dell coupons. These coupons aren't marketed because Dell wants to keep them for the most knowledgeable consumers. Dell frequently has a $750 off coupon that can be applied at checkout, allowing you to save a lot of money! These coupons can also be stacked, which means you can use more than one to make a purchase, or they can be combined with rebates or other instant savings. Check a few different coupon sites before you find one that suits your model. Make sure you read the fine print and that the coupon isn't expired before using it. Be sure to do your homework because some coupon sites have step-by-step guidance on how to use coupons.
You're ready to go to Dell to make your order once you've found the appropriate coupons for the device you want to buy. While buying a machine from Dell, you'll have to wade through a lot of options and add-ons. This is where most consumers get bogged down because there are so many choices and improvements to choose from. Use the purchasing guides you found to figure out which features and enhancements are best for you. Also keep in mind that many of the default Dell options can be downgraded. Windows Media Center and Windows XP Pro, for example, are almost identical operating systems. However, Dell sometimes selects XP Pro as an option, which is considerably more expensive than Media Center. So, whenever it makes sense for you and your needs, downgrade. You'll be at the checkout page after you've gone through all of the choice links. This is where you'll enter your coupons, choose the cheapest shipping option, and pay any applicable taxes. If you follow these steps, you should be able to save hundreds of dollars on a computer device that meets your exact requirements.
Let's review:
1. Dell prices are opaque; always conduct an internet search.
2. Determine which model is best suited to YOUR requirements. Make use of a buyer's guide.
3. Use a search engine to look for a review of the model you've chosen. "Model name" + "analysis" is a good combination.
4. Return to your favorite search engine and type "dell coupon codes" into the search box. Find a reputable coupon site with up-to-date coupons and simple instructions.
5. Visit Dell, choose your model, and DOWNGRADE any unwanted features or add-ons.
6. Use your coupon at checkout (if necessary, stack them)!
7. Choose the cheapest shipping choice.
Give yourself a pat on the back because you've just saved a lot of money!
