Power up your summer party with great deals on electronics

Summer is definitely the season for parties. As the warm weather begins to cool, it’s time to plan those last few gatherings to enjoy the remainder of the season. You probably already know all of the tips and tricks for putting together inexpensive party food and drinks, but what about the equipment to turn your get-together into a rocking party? An investment now will pay off, as you can put electronics to use this summer and for many more years to come.

Electronics for your summer party

Every party is different and you don’t necessarily need to have all of the bells and whistles at your next gathering. However, it’s important to set the mood when guests arrive. Electronics can also keep the party going by giving your guests ways to interact while they’re hanging out. Here are some of the top items to consider:

• A stereo and great set of wireless speakers make it easy for you to play tunes from lots of different devices. The mobile speakers mean you’ll be able to move them to wherever the party is happening.

• A karaoke machine will get all of your guests out of their shells. Look for a machine that will let you access not only songs that are popular today, but also decades-old hits that everyone knows and loves.

• A bubble machine is a great bet, especially if you have kids or will be inviting over guests with kids. Bubbles provide entertainment for little ones and adults/parents and make for some great photos.

• A laser light projector is great, inexpensive way to set the mood for a nighttime party and will be much more appropriate than adding to summer heat with a bonfire. Plus, you can use the projector indoors year-round.

• A jukebox is a retro option your guests are certain to enjoy, whether they grew up with them are not. Modern models have the classic look but play tunes from your MP3 player, not just the discs loaded in the box.

Tips for finding deals on electronics

• Be flexible about what you’re willing to buy. You may find a great deal on something that’s not exactly what you envisioned, but if it will work and is a quarter of the price, then jump on it.
• Shop on holiday weekends. Prices tend to be lower on these days to entice consumers. As long as you’re careful and shop with a discriminating eye, you’ll find some great deals.
• Check for free shipping codes to enter at checkout, which will keep your overall costs low. The retailer you use might also have an option to buy online and pick up at the store.
• If you shop in-store, check to see if there’s a better deal online. There are now smartphone apps that allow you to scan barcodes to hunt down the best deal.

You don’t have to blow your budget and get a whole bunch of new electronics all at once. Instead, consider what you want to add to your collection and start keeping an eye out for deals on those items. The more often you look, the more likely it is you’ll find what you’re looking for in time for an end-of-summer bash.
