Ready for Singles Day?

Tomorrow is November 11.
Traditionally, we commemorate Armistice Day, although online shoppers are more likely to associate this date with Singles Day.
This is the first e-commerce high day which also marks the start of the busiest period of the year.

11 – 11

Singles Day falls on Nov. 11 for a reason.
This day was created as a counterpart to Valentine’s Day and is dedicated to those who are single.
The number one represents the symbol of individual or being alone.
So a logical choice to choose a date with four 1’s.

Online shopping with discounts

So how did “Bachelor’s Day” become so popular as an e-commerce summit day worldwide?
China’s Alibaba turned this day into an online shopping festival in 2009 with 24 hours of temporary discounts.
Of course, even those who are not single enjoy attractive discounts.

As the owner of an online store, it would be a shame not to capitalize on this with special offers and promotions.
After all, a lot of people are willing to make an online purchase on November 11 and wait for the discount before ordering the contents of their shopping cart.
With the right approach, you will succeed in boosting your sales.

E-commerce calendar

For online retailers, the busiest time of the year is dawning when a large portion of annual sales will be booked as customers order packages and gifts en masse. When do the other peak times take place?
See the overview with the main dates in this article. For now, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are still more successful than Singles Day, although the latter is getting bigger year after year.
