May holidays are not a reason to buy gifts. But there is a reason to update the equipment at the end of the school year or at the beginning of the summer cottage season. However, retail is frankly going through hard days, so federal networks selling electronics do not indulge in variety. Brands are also in no rush to offer discounts on their new products. This does not mean that there are no interesting proposals at all, just few of them. And few are new. For example, this issue will not include “M.Video”, because everything that was done in this network – updated the catalogs of shares that started at the beginning of the month. You can find them in the last issue of our Guide. In other stores, the situation is not very different.
“El Dorado”
It is obvious that in the M.Video-Eldorado retail chain the pricing policy is the same in stores with both signs, so everything that will be said about the promotions from brands in Eldorado can be safely broadcast to M.Video stores. The only difference is that in one network they considered it necessary to highlight the shares, while in the other they were simply hidden inside the catalog. So what does Eldorado offer? These are stocks from the dominant brands in the electronics market – Samsung and Apple. So yes, promotions are for those who have money for not the cheapest products. On the Samsung side, we are talking about the flexible Z Fold 2 and Z Flip smartphones. They claim “Double Benefit”. It consists in the fact that, in addition to discounts on smartphones themselves (they fell in price at absolutely all retailers, this is a planned price reduction by the manufacturer), you also get Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro or Galaxy Buds + headphones as a gift, depending on the chosen smartphone model. Looking ahead, I will say that almost all retail chains will offer you this gift, only some already write that the headphones for gifts are over, so check it out. It’s even easier with Apple. Here, too, just a planned cost reduction, but not smartphones, but TWS headsets. Discount from 1 to 000 rubles, depending on the model. Plus additional bonuses, coupons and other enticing offers from the trading network such as fast delivery for free. Of course, they also apply to other products with a similar price tag, such promotions are actually extended throughout the year.
“Messenger”
“Svyaznoy” had a big update of promotional offers in connection with the Cosmonautics Day. Unfortunately, the release schedule of “Guide” did not allow them to be included in a closer release, so I cannot guarantee that everything declared by this retail chain as a promotional product is still in stock, be sure to check it in the store where you will order. In connection with the chosen significant event, the theme of the design turned out to be cosmic, which left a certain imprint. For example, some discounts are announced as “Getting ready to fly to Mars.” As they say, thanks, we will return from Pluto’s orbit (where we got from viewing some of the price tags) closer to home. If it’s no joke, then this is just another section of the catalog of the network with all the goods for which prices have been reduced recently. It is worth watching, but I would not expect much – here the prices are just like everyone else’s. A more interesting offer is an update of the catalog of goods, for which a discount is given when the old devices are returned to trade-in. The promotion is called “Exchange Gadget”. As usual, there is a calculator that allows you to make sure that if your old device even remotely resembles a thing that can still be used, then it is better to sell it on Avito, and hand over inoperable junk to trade-in solely for the purpose of getting a discount on new product.
There is also a couple of promotions, which are designed to buy several products at once in the store. The first is a branded offer from Sber. Yes, this is how you can make sure that Sberbank was not in vain engaged in rebranding – it would be strange to buy Sberbank light bulbs. But the Sber smart home system is already something more adequate sounding. Unless, of course, you have any prejudices against this corporation. If not, here’s the savings: buy smart lamps and sockets at a discount, but in bulk. If you buy 2 pieces, you will get a 30% discount on the second item, and if you buy 3 pieces – 40% off on the third item. Considering that few people need one smart light bulb, the action is quite normal. As far as the price tag is adequate to the quality, I will not say – I have not tried it. You can search for the same offer in other stores. The second combo can be obtained by purchasing a tablet and accessories. Accessories do not have to fit the tablet, but amateurs can choose and even get branded services from “Svyaznoy”. Tablets need to be selected from the promotional list (for some, the size of the discount will be indicated at once, for others the price tag will only change in the basket), and accessories from the corresponding section. Portable speakers, smart watches of Apple and Samsung brands, headphones of Apple, Samsung, Sennheiser brands do not participate in the promotion – they immediately warn us.
There are also discounts on Huawei FreeBuds 4i headphones when pre-ordering and discounts on MSI laptops. This is not a Svyaznoy promotion, but a broadcast of offers from brands, respectively, you will find similar price tags from other official sellers. And in “Svyaznoy” you will also find an offer from Samsung with Galaxy Buds headsets as a gift for bending smartphones. The price tag for them is also reduced within the framework of some promotion, but if I did not miss anything, then Svyaznoy did not even come up with which framework, because in fact this is a decrease in the price of these devices on the market in principle.
Citylink
Citylink, as usual, is among the champions in terms of the number of announced promotional offers. In which I, frankly, drowned. If you find good discounts on their website, which are not mentioned in this edition of the Guide, then you should know that I am simply lost in how much this network offers to buy with the condition that you will be given super profitable (in fact, like all) credit or will accrue additional bonuses (which you will not find what to spend on if you do not go to an electronics store like a grocery store). Now about what you can buy here at discounted prices. First of all, as in many previous issues, we will again talk about computer technology. Reduced prices for Acer, MSI and Honor laptops. You can get a gift with Gigabyte laptops. But this is no longer in Citylink, but when registering on the Gigabyte website itself, although the promotion applies only to laptops purchased from Citylink. You will need to “join the AORUS club”. After registration, the brand through the Russian Post will send you a “gamer kit” consisting of an AORUS M3 gaming mouse, a branded hoodie, a thermos with a temperature indicator and wireless charging. The deadline is until June 30 or the end of gifts at the Gigabyte warehouse. You can also note discounts on network equipment (in particular, here is an offer from TP-Link, but there are others, the order of discount is about the same for everyone), discounts on games (here Electronic Arts is purely for understanding what they give) and Acer monitors (this no longer for example, there are no other discount promotions, only bonuses and installments).
From a non-computer, if I may say so, a good offer is on Irbis TVs. It is relatively short-term, by April 26, the action should already be completed, unless, of course, it is extended. Plus kits from Sber when buying smart home devices and from Samsung when buying flexible smartphones. They are exactly the same as in other retail chains.
MTS
In MTS, most of the discounts should be looked for in the catalogs of previously announced shares, since this network, as a rule, announces them for a maximum period (until the end of the year, sometimes next year), and then only adds new products. From the point of view of the buyer, this approach is not the most convenient, but the catalog contains different sorting settings, including the size of the discount. So it’s more convenient to check the price if you know at least roughly what you need. In the announcements of new promotions, from the interesting – only pre-orders for new items from Huawei and Honor. It has already been said about Huawei Freebuds 4i, the preorder is offered a discount of 1 rubles. Honor is debuting the Honor Band 500 fitness tracker, which is given a discount of 6 rubles by pre-order. The start of sales and the end of accepting pre-orders is April 1 and May 000, respectively.
DNS
If there are many promotions in Citylink, then there are even more of them in the DNS. There are exceptions to this rule, but they are rare. And there are absolutely no exceptions to the rule that a good half of the promotional offers from DNS should be combined into one, since neither the nature of the goods, nor the timing, nor other conditions of the promotion differ from the neighboring one. But that is what it is. Therefore, I will simply present to you everything more or less interesting in the form of a list:
“Megaphone”
But the salons of “MegaFon” usually do not indulge in a variety of offers. But for the second time in a row, this trading network is distinguished by just a good selection of stocks. However, if you look closely, the diversity is not the change in MegaFon’s policy in the field of promotional offers, but the expansion of the list of broadcasted brand shares. Judge for yourself. There is a discount on Apple Watch smartwatches, a discount for pre-ordering Honor bracelets and Huawei headphones, Samsung headphones as a gift when purchasing flexible Samsung smartphones. All these promotions were mentioned above, they are exactly the same as those of other networks. There is also a promotion broadcast from the brand to Huawei tablets (only the MatePad 10.4 model remains). From the conditionally “own” “MegaFon” offers a discount on the smartphone realme C21, subject to putting something in the trade-in (the discount will be 1 rubles). Certainly its own – this is a discount on Apple smartphones with a promotional code. The action involves the iPhone 000 and iPhone 12 mini models, which can be bought cheaper by 12 and 3 thousand rubles, respectively, if you specify a promotional code. The promotion is long-term and is calculated until June 6.
Traditionally, I propose in the comments not only to discuss how much the retail chains have gotten drunk, which do not give good discounts, but also to share useful information about the promotions that remained outside the scope of this discount review.
