Few more days to 11.11. the important day for the mega sales! If you do not know what is 11.11, it is actually Chinese Singles' Day, to celebrate the fact that they are proud of being single. The date, November 11th (11/11), is chosen because the number "1" resembles an individual that is alone. This festival has become the largest online shopping day in the world, with sales in Alibaba's sites Tmall and Taobao over US$17.8 billion in 2016. If you are a frequent shopper for Taobao/ Tmall, please take note! Alibaba Group is going to offer great promotion of its 24-hours global shopping festival on that day!

What a surprise on the event day is all the items in the cube were given away to all the guests!
All these could be found in Taoobao/ Tmall too!

Well, I managed to grab this dress on that day. I queued up second time just for this as the first item I wanted being redeemed! 
The mechanic works as simple as ABC, take a picture in the cube which we want to have and upload to Instagram with hashtags.
First comes first serves.

This year’s Festival will also be the first time that the world will witness how Alibaba aims to transform traditional retail through technology and consumer insights in all aspects of the Festival. For example, in China, consumers can visit pop-up cosmetics stores to experience an augmented reality (AR) lipstick trial. Selected partnering stores will feature facial recognition payment and scan-and-deliver Online to Offline (O2O) shopping.

During the event, Cici Chai,Tmall World Southeast Asia Marketing Manager demonstrated the new feature in Taobao app 
which enables users to scan an item QR code and find from the shopping site.

In addition, another exciting feature is camera function in the search tab. Take a picture of something you want to buy 
and upload to the app. Instead of typing the keywords/name of the item which you may not know specifically, this helps 
you to find it immediately with less hassle.

The Malaysian launch saw radio announcer and YouTuber, Jinnyboy, social fashion icon and influencer, Jane Chuck as well as Miss Astro Chinese International Pageant 2016 & Miss Chinese International 2017’s 1st Runner Up, Serene Lim, in attendance who shared their excitement for the upcoming festivities. They were joined by other distinguished Malaysian social media figures and members of the media.
