Chinese Singles Day
November 11 is a festival built around ‘1111' — four numeral ones. Named ‘Bachelor's Day," young people hold bachelor parties to have fun or form couples. Often young Chinese end their bachelor days by proposing marriage.
As of 2012, over 10,000 e-commerce sites rocked the buying festival as participants made plans to celebrate.
Often clothes manufacturers hoard products from August in preparation, supply chains are polished, and staffing levels scrutinized.
Better Than Christmas
Bachelor's Day Promotions are essential to Chinese businesses' bottom line. Some companies exceed sales of 20 billion yuan during the final quarter compared to sales of 9.5 billion yuan the first three-quarters.
DHgate enjoys the highest average order size in the Chinese cross-border e-commerce industry and is strictly B2B focused.
With the digital economy contributing more than 30% of China's GDP, statistics show China boasting over 16 trillion yuan in digital turnover. Of that, online consumer shopping alone accounts for just under 4 trillion annually.
