11.11 sale

Online shopping platform Lazada took this year’s 11.11 to new heights, pulling off record-setting numbers.

A Filipino electronics seller earned almost ₱70 million in sales during the first two hours of the sale alone.

LazMall – Lazada’s premium brand platform that connects shoppers to international and local brands – also saw over 2,000 brands join this year and recorded 200% year-on-year growth in sales.

Shopee said it sold 1.6 million items were sold in an hour in Metro Manila at the peak of November 11.

Back in 2013, e-commerce firm Lazada made its first “11.11” debut in the Philippines – the inaugural event that gave consumers access to exclusive deals for a month. By 2018, what was previously a month-long event had evolved into the biggest one-day sale of the year that is highly anticipated by consumers.

E-commerce firm Lazada is offering free shipping with no minimum spend as it stages its biggest one-day sale yet this November 11.

For this year's Singles' Day event or "11.11" online sale, card and digital payments volume processed by PayMaya across various online commerce sites jumped 3.5 times from Singles’ Day 2018 — indicating a significant shift in digital payments and online shopping habits of Filipinos.

Kaspersky has reported on a sharp increase in fraudulent activities around the extremely active online shopping period in Asian countries which takes place every Singles’ Day on November 11.

E-commerce platform Shopee will be holding its first-ever televised show this Sunday, Nov. 10, for a countdown to the finale of this year’s Shopee 11.11 Big Christmas Sale.
