General information about Black Friday plugin deals
If you’re feeling hesitant to open your wallet right now, you might be wondering whether Black Friday sales are all they claim to be.
So let’s answer the biggest questions producers and artists have about Black Friday sales.
Is this the best time to buy plugins?
Truthfully, it is. Nearly every plugin maker on the market will offer some kind of discount at this time of year.
Sure, it may seem like there’s constantly some kind of promotion or sale offer coming from various plugin developers—but the Black Friday sale period is when plugin manufacturer offer their deepest discounts.
It’s not just another marketing gimmick (even it if it seems like some developers constantly have all their plugins on sale), based on our observations and wide consensus in the producer community, Black Friday is the best time to pick up all the new plugins you’ve had your eye on.
When do Black Friday plugin sales start?
This year Black Friday lands on Friday, November 29 the Friday after American Thanksgiving.
Black Friday sales usually continue through Cyber Monday which falls on the following Monday after Black Friday. This year Cyber Monday will fall on December 2nd.
But in the music software market, the whole month of November represents the Black Friday sales period with most sales starting well before Black Friday and often past Cyber Monday.
So, while these deals will be around for limited time only, you do have some time to make a decision.
But watch out for door-crasher deals in the lead-up to Black Friday itself, since many software developers will be looking to build additional hype with extra sales and deeper discounts in the lead-up to Black Friday.
What kind of discounts should I expect?
Software is the kind of product that can be discounted heavily because it doesn’t involve any hardware or physical manufacturing.
So look for significant markdowns ranging from 50%-70%. If you see a price marked down that much, you know the developer can’t go any lower than that.
