From compression shorts to kettlebells, Dick’s Sporting Goods is the place to go for all things sports and fitness. The Black Friday sale is the perfect time for their loyal shoppers to pick up the most wanted items at the season’s lowest prices.
If it’s anything like last year’s event, Dick’s Sporting Goods will turn Black Friday into a multi-day sales event that sees deep discounts on top products from brands like Adidas, Under Armour and NordicTrack. While it’s still too early to tell, shoppers are already scoping out products that may be part of the sale that sees hot holiday deals up to 50%.
For the past several years, Black Friday at Dick’s Sporting Goods has been dominated by athletic apparel. Leading brands like Nike and Columbia are likely to go on sale and the retailer’s house brands and private labels, such as DSG and CALIA by Carrie Underwood.
Other categories that may have deep discounts include sports equipment, exercise machines, outdoor gear and travel accessories. Because the retailer has grown its fitness tech category in the last couple of years, shoppers may see more sales on devices like percussive massagers and fitness trackers.
Like many retailers, Dick’s Sporting Goods has started holiday sales to get ahead of anticipated supply chain interruptions and low product availability. Although some shoppers may want to hold out until Black Friday, it’s worth shopping early to pick up popular gift items while they’re still in stock. The early deals are currently featured in Dick’s Holiday Gift Guide and This Week’s Deals.
To increase the chances of scooping up the top products during the Black Friday sale, shoppers should stay informed about upcoming deals. Here are a few ways to do that:
Instead of getting wrapped up in the deals blitz on Black Friday, shoppers should pick out products long before the event. Not only will they have more time to research specs and compare products, but they may also discover new products at Dick’s Sporting Goods that are gift-worthy, either for themselves or someone on their wishlist.
Even if items aren’t marked down yet, it’s much easier to check out when they’re already in the shopping basket. Many shoppers buying athletic apparel also add backup colors just in case their preferred ones sell out, which is particularly common for in-season colors. Similarly, those expecting to buy home gym equipment may benefit from having back products in their carts, such as more than one elliptical or indoor bike.
In the world of athletic apparel and footwear, colors (and colorways) go in and out of fashion. Dick’s Sporting Goods is keenly aware of this, and they discount off-season colors for mainstay products, like some Nike Air Max styles. As a result, shoppers may come across even deeper discounts on certain colors on Black Friday.
