Let's find out how the Singles' Day anniversary was born and how it became one of the most awaited dates for its unmissable offers!

Singles' Day or "day of singles" is a holiday of Chinese origin that is celebrated on 11 November or 11/11 . The anniversary seems to have been born in China in 1993 from the idea of ​​a group of students from Nanjing. The party was originally born to celebrate singles, but since 2009 it has taken on a much more marketing-oriented characteristic, becoming an opportunity for offers both for online shopping and in physical stores.

Origins and evolution of Singles' Day

The Singles' Day festival was born in the 90s and originally the anniversary is dedicated to singles . The choice of the date for the anniversary is by no means causal because it is composed only of numbers "1" to symbolize the state of single people.
