This celebration has its origin in China and is used by some stores to reduce their prices
This Thursday, November 11, Singles Day is celebrated, a holiday that is commemorated every year to enhance the pride of singles. A great opportunity to get bargains during this date prior to Blak Friday, since there are many shops that offer discounts on this day.
This holiday has its origin in China and the reason why the celebration is carried out on this day is that the number one symbolizes a single person and during this day we can find this number repeated four times (11/11). The origin is in Nakin University in 1993, becoming a popular event in Chinese universities in the 90’s. And it is that in Chinese society there is a large number of singles, since the birth control of the Asian country causes many men to go without a partner. Although, as happened with many of these celebrations, they became a great opportunity for large retail chains to publish offers with which to increase their sales. This date has become one of the most important in the Asian continent in terms of product sales.
Some of the establishments that offer discounts are AliExpress, Ebay MediaMarkt or Worten, although they are not the only shops, but it is expected that other textile chains such as Zalando and H&M will also have discounts. The ‘online’ store, AliExpress, is the one that will have a greater number of offers, with up to an 80% discount on the original price of the products.
During these offers as in the Black Friday sales, it is important to compare the prices between different businesses to verify that it is a real price reduction and not a false offer, in which the price is not being reduced compared to the normal value of the product on the market.
