Full story
With more reasons to avoid holiday crowds this year, Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL) is preparing for an increase in online shopping during its biggest annual savings event. Dell will start Black Friday deals earlier than ever and offer new ways to shop directly on Dell.com for the lowest prices of the year on technology for the whole family.

“Our focus for this year’s holiday season is simple: provide technology at a great value while focusing on customer convenience,” said Michael Collins, president of Consumer and Small Business, Dell Technologies. “This year our direct-to-consumer business model is serving our customers well. Whether for work, play or learning, we’re making it easier and less stressful for people to shop our most award-winning products on Dell.com.”

Did you know that approximately $200+ billion was spent online with U.S. retailers in Q2, up 44% from last year1? For Dell.com it was even higher – Dell’s consumer direct online business was up 79% based on orders in that same timeframe².

Retail analysts predict record-setting online holiday shopping³. Dell is leveraging its longstanding expertise in e-commerce and making investments in Dell.com to deliver a more intuitive, convenient shopping experience for its customers.

Here’s what you can expect from Dell this holiday shopping season: 

Save big and enjoy extended offers. With Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals running over seven weeks from Oct. 15 – Dec. 7, customers have more freedom to shop online earlier and at their convenience. Dell is offering up to $400 off a wide variety of award-winning Dell and Alienware PCs, monitors, electronics and accessories; Small Business customers can save up to 50% off select technology for business professionals.

Shoppers can find steep discounts on Dell’s premium XPS laptops, Alienware gaming PCs, monitors and more. Deals include up to $200 off select XPS 13 and XPS 15 laptops, up to $650 off select Alienware m15 R3 gaming laptops, and up to $260 off select Alienware gaming monitors.

New interactive shopping experience. Dell.com has been a top destination for online shoppers for nearly 25 years. This year customers can effortlessly navigate deals from the convenience of home with a redesigned online experience that offers interactive 360-degree 3D demos, augmented reality shopping widgets accessible on Android/iOS smartphones, faster page refresh times and additional authentication sign-in tools.

Many ways to save on technology.  Shoppers can join Dell Rewards for free and get up to 6% back in rewards to use on thousands of top-brand electronics, plus free expedited delivery⁴. Select American Express Business Card Members can also access additional savings opportunities. Starting in late October, U.S. American Express Business Card Members can get 10% back on eligible purchases (up to $1500) online at Dell.com/amex⁵. Consumers and small businesses can also turn to Dell Financial Services for innovative payment solutions.

Dell recycling services make it easy to trade-in, donate or recycle used electronics. Customers can trade in used Dell devices for a Dell gift card or donate electronics of any brand to a participating Goodwill. Dell Reconnect also provides free pre-paid shipping for customers to mail back their used electronics and printer supplies – any brand, in any condition – to be responsibly recycled for free. These takeback programs are key to helping Dell Technologies divert e-waste from landfills and achieve our 2030 goals:

• For every product a customer buys, we will reuse or recycle an equivalent product
• 100% of our packaging will be made from recycled or renewable material
