Thanks to this still little-known tip, you will save time and money during your shopping trips to the Swedish giant.
IKEA is the decoration and interior design brand that many French people love. Between the inexpensive decorative items, the clever objects and the space-saving furniture, it's a real Ali Baba's cave. But sometimes, shopping there can be a real nightmare! Between the products that are not available, or the crowds in the aisles, many dread this moment.
And yet, by preparing your visit well, it is easy to avoid the crowds, save time in the aisles, and above all, get good deals! The first piece of advice, as you already suspect, is to avoid going there on the weekend. Schedule your visit in the morning, but not at opening, rather 30 minutes to 1 hour later. You will have peace of mind when doing your shopping.
But that's not all: Ikea shared with us a tip that few customers know. However, it could considerably change your shopping sessions into smoother, more economical and much less stressful experiences. This involves using the Ikea mobile application.
The Ikea app, available on Apple and Android devices, can be your best asset to prepare for your visit. It lists all the useful information, such as store attendance, opening hours, current offers and promotions in your store, but also the activities offered. And this, whatever store you want to visit in France. On your store page, you can even find the best time to go there.
From your sofa, you can already organize your visit. A little advice, why not prepare your shopping list to be ready on the big day and save time? You can even check the availability of items in the store of your choice before going there. No more frustrations of finding an out of stock product after going through the entire store!
The application also allows you to spend less time at the checkout. You can therefore directly scan all your items throughout your visit and go through the checkout faster with the scan available directly on your phone. Each store now has dedicated checkouts for this function.
The Ikea app isn't just about organization: it can finally help you save money. Ikea regularly offers exclusive offers reserved for Ikea Family members, its free loyalty program. By linking your Ikea Family account to the app, you receive notifications about current promotions, price drops or special offers related to your favorite items. Also remember to visit the second life space in store or online. This is the place to get good deals. You will find end of series items, second-hand furniture, exhibition models, or even slightly damaged items, all up to 40% off, enough to reduce the bill!
