It’s the end of the year, which means Christmas is just right around the corner! If you’re looking to get ahead with your holiday shopping, you’ll be glad to know that several local and international brands will be offering exclusive 11.11 deals in Malaysia for November, perfect for the gift-giving season. So start browsing before you lose out on some truly great savings!
Believe it or not, the reason why the date November 11th has become so closely synonymous with online shopping has everything to do with the Chinese online shopping platform Alibaba. Initially kickstarted by Mainland Chinese bachelors as a cynical counterinitiative against a deluge of couple-centric festivities and celebrations, it would eventually be popularised in the mainstream when Alibaba CEO Daniel Zhang decided to introduce a blowout shopping campaign to commemorate the day, typified by massive flash discounts and other online entertainment offerings.
The popularity of 11.11 Singles Day was cemented, and an increasing number of other retail companies took note of the sheer consumer interest in the festival across Asia. Similar campaigns were mounted in light of Alibaba’s success, and 11.11 deals have become synonymous with the tail end of every year since then. As for why the date 11.11 was chosen specifically to represent single men and women, it was meant to allude to how the number 1 resembles a ‘bare stick’, a slang phrase used among Mainland Chinese communities to refer to single men who do not add more ‘branches’ to their family tree.
Of course, connotations of singlehood no longer have to be a prerequisite to enjoy fantastic savings on your favourite products. Whether it be a great deal on flight tickets for an upcoming vacation you have in mind, or a brand-new hair dryer courtesy of Dyson, you’ll find your pick of the best 11.11 deals and promotions available in Malaysia for this year’s 11.11 festival right here.
