3 Singles' Day shopping tips

Don't let all the flashing sale signs lure you into making impulse purchases that'll burst your budget. Be a savvy shopper and plan ahead. You can create personalised lists on your PriceRunner profile by selecting the heart icon on a product image. And don't keep the good stuff to yourself–share those lists with loved ones. Keep in mind Black Friday is just 2 weeks away and could have even better discounts.

Large discounts and high "before" prices could misguide you. So you might want to check out other stores and compare prices before you purchase an item. Also, check the product's price history on PriceRunner. If the price fluctuates a lot, set a price alert to get notified when the item drops in price. You can find your Price Alerts on your profile.

You can find incredible deals beyond the UK, particularly on China's AliExpress (Alibaba Group). But don't overlook the added extras–customs and tax charges can sneak up on you. Always compare the total price to ensure you're getting the best deal.

What is Singles' Day?

Singles' Day is the world's biggest shopping day. It celebrates self-love and independence, regardless of relationship status.

Guanggun Jie, as it's known in China, was created as a way to break from the lonely and monotonous life of being single. According to reports, 4 single students at Nanjing University in China discussed the idea in 1993 to celebrate the single life with a day filled with fun activities with friends.

Singles' Day spread to other universities and was seen as the anti-Valentine's Day, where Chinese men could celebrate being single. After some time, the day was embraced by single women, and suddenly, everyone had a great excuse to just meet and have fun on November, 11/11.

When is Singles' Day?

Singles' Day is always marked on the 11th day of the 11th month–the 11th of November. The choice of date isn’t accidental, but a clever nod to singleness. The repetition of "1" stands as a metaphor for the individual.

UK shops are embracing the day

Singles' Day is all about pampering oneself with a special treat. The concept took off in 2009 when Alibaba, China's Amazon equivalent, saw an opportunity of a great sale day. Initially targeted at singles, it has since transformed into a shopping global event, much like Black Friday.

Today, Singles' Day has outranked Black Friday, making it the world's largest shopping event. In 2018, Alibaba alone sold products for 30.8 billion dollars. How many billion will be spent this year remains to be seen. Amount spent this year remains to be seen.

The day has grown massively outside of China. In the UK, there has been a massive increase in sales these days, and the numbers go up each year. It's safe to say Singles' Day's here to stay.

FAQs about Singles' Day

The day was supposed to be a sort of anti-Valentine's Day. The 11th of November was dubbed the official Singles' Day and the celebrations quickly spread to other Universities. The phenomenon was then adopted by the founders of the e-commerce giant Alibaba, promoting it as a sale day with focus on self-love.

It's very easy to remember what day Singles' day falls on. This yearly shopping day is always celebrated on the 11th of November, so the 11/11 - a date made up solely of one's.

Four Chinese students began celebrating Singles' Day all the way back in 1993, it was then a celebration of singledom. In 2009 Jack Ma, the founder of the Alibaba group (the Chinese equivalent to Amazon), launched Singles' Day as a massive sale day. Singles' Day has then gone on to becoming the world's biggest shopping day, with a revenue that far exceeds the Black Friday sales.

Although Singles' Day has quickly become the worlds biggest sale day, with revenues of about 30.8 billion dollars in China alone last year, it's not well known in the UK.
