World Shopping Day
November 11 · Level 10 · #44 of 2238
World Shopping Day is a major sales occasion, especially online. Retailers compete for attention with discounts, while shoppers hunt for things they need at a better price. A little price checking can be more useful than a very large sale banner.
How it is celebrated: shopping platforms offer coupons, product livestreams and limited-time deals. Customers prepare wish lists and compare offers before buying.
Alibaba helped turn the occasion into a shopping phenomenon in 2009 by launching a sale tied to China's Singles' Day.
