Floor planning, what’s going in the sale, staffing and everything in between has to be planned in a military fashion. One of the key things for the savvy shopper to know is that smaller stores start sending their stock to the larger stores. Gavin, who has since founded of Flexi-Jobs, said: “My biggest tip if you want to go in person, is don’t waste your time with the small shops for the sale, everything gets sent to superstores.”.
“Head to the largest M&S near you for more choice but be prepared to queue.”. Alternatively, you can shop the sale on the M&S app by adding all the items you want into your basket before the sale goes live. You’ll be able to see what has gone into the sale as you load the items into your basket, you just won’t be able to buy them yet.
Then keep an eye on your phone throughout Christmas Day, right through to the evening, and keep your payment details to hand as the sale might just go live earlier than Boxing Day morning. The father-of-two added: “The sale is meant to go live online on Boxing Day morning but as no one is working, sometimes the sale goes live on Christmas Day.
