Black Friday is a day I look forward to throughout the holiday shopping period. I’m one of those people who gets super excited and makes sure I have a full plan and a list as to all the items that I want to score during the deals on Black Friday.

I recently was asked what would I do if there was a Blackout on Black Friday and I wasn’t connected? As in… WHAT IF I DIDN’T HAVE WIFI!?

(Insert take a deep breath.)

Being connected on Black Friday is something that me and my family needs. We’re connected all the time. It’s truly part of our lifestyle.

My husband loves to look up recipes, the weather and football stats on Black Friday.

My sons love to play games, post photos on Instagram and FaceTime their grandparents.

My daughter loves to watch Baby Mozart on Baby Einstein, which I stream through YouTube for her.

And me?

What do I like to do to be connected on Black Friday!? The sales. The deals. The coupons. The store hours. The discount codes. That’s Black Friday to me.

I thought it would be fun to “joke” around with my sons to see what they would be upset about if they weren’t connected on Black Friday because of a BLACKOUT.

As you can see, to prevent ANY Black Friday Blackout mishaps for you and your family, it’s important to make sure you have an APC Back-­UPS Connect. We live in a day and age where we have amazing technology like this at our fingertips, so it’s wonderful to be able to take advantage of it all.

The APC Back-­UPS Connect will help you stay connected to the Internet during power outages by backing up networking equipment and charging mobile devices with the Back-UPS Connect. The incredible ultra efficient design maximizes run-time for low-power devices, even outperforming larger UPSes on equivalent low-power loads. You will get up to 3-5 hours of backup power which will help maintain your network connection during power outages and emergencies. It gives a fast recharge of the internal battery that will ensure you’re ready for the next outage.

For me and my life as a digital mom, it’s essential for me to be connected. It’s how I run my business and how I make a living. It’s also the way I communicate with my family and friends. I feel safe being connected.

So if there’s a Blackout on Black Friday, I’m ready.

Hey… I’m ready for a Blackout at anytime.

If you’re looking for a fabulous gift for that someone in your life who loves to be connected, this is it! They will love and appreciate this.

And for all of you who will be out there with me on Black Friday scooping up some deals, HAPPY SHOPPING!
