The 11.11 Shopping Festival, as the event is now called, occurs on the day known in China as Single’s Day, a holiday on which young people cry about or celebrate being single. Five years ago the shopping website Alibaba began promoting the day as a shopping festival, and it has now turned to be the country’s busiest day for online sellers, millions of shopping lovers and thousands of delivery companies.
Every Nov. 11, millions of Chinese shoppers go to the e-commerce websites operated by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., which is the world’s largest e-commerce platform: The total value of goods sold last year by Taobao and Tmall, the company’s two main shopping sites, topped one trillion yuan ($160 billion), larger than last year’s totals for Amazon.com and eBay combined.
But not everyone likes shopping on that day. Chen Jing, a lawyer in Beijing, says, “Nobody knows what anything is really worth. Online shoppers are guided by shallow tips (“this is cheaper than that”) and vague emotions (“it just feels like a good deal”) rather than knowledge and deliberate thinking.” Critics like Chen complain that people believe the most popular day of the year to shop is the best day of the year to buy anything. But the fact is that the prices of many items on that day are not the lowest of the year and usually shoppers buy lots of things they don’t need.
