Why January Is a Great Time to Trade Tech
After the excitement of Halloween, the chaos of Black Friday and the non-stop spending of Christmas, January has a way of making our bank accounts look a little empty. With a whole new year ahead, it’s perfectly normal to want a financial reset — and one of the easiest ways to do that is by trading in your old tech.
In this guide, we’ll explain why January is the ideal moment to trade in your devices with Envirofone, whether you’re clearing out clutter or looking to fund your next upgrade.
Is January a Good Time to Sell Tech?
1. Perfect Timing for Samsung Upgrades
January is an especially strong month for Samsung users. Galaxy devices are typically announced in January or February, so selling your old Samsung early gives you a head start on saving for the next model — before trade-in values begin to dip.
2. Lots of People Get New Phones at Christmas
A huge number of people receive new handsets in December. That means the weeks following Christmas are the perfect moment to free up space and earn some extra cash by trading in your old phone. The longer it sits in a drawer, the more its value drops.
3. January Is the Ultimate Clear-Out Month
Between cold weather, dark evenings and the post-holiday lull, January tends to keep us indoors. It’s the ideal time to declutter — and old gadgets are usually the first thing people rediscover at the back of cupboards.
Instead of letting them gather dust, you can turn them into money instantly through Envirofone. From smartphones to tablets, laptops and more, we make the process quick and easy.
