Many a die-hard online shopper stayed up until 2 am on Sunday, looking through the Internet to buy products being sold at half-price before they could be snapped up by other shoppers. Tens of millions of Internet users were crazy taking advantage of the half-price promotion, started by the e-commerce giant Alibaba Group on Sunday, Nov. 11，which is known as Singles’ Day in China, and is the Chinese answer to Cyber Monday in the United States.
By 7 pm on Sunday, 14.1 billion yuan's worth of sales was made on Tmall and Taobao5 the two online shopping websites of Alibaba. That could make Singles’ Day the biggest e-commerce sales day on record. The research company comScore said US online retailers (零售商)saw $1.25 billion of sales during last year's Cyber Monday, the day after Thanksgiving weekend and the busiest day for online retailers as US shoppers start to prepare for Christmas.
Singles, Day originated with university students, and was later adopted by e-commerce companies as a promotional opportunity. E-commerce companies， including Jingdong Mall and Amazon China, also took part in the promotion. "In the past, people only shopped online occasionally, but now ，online shopping is a lifestyle embraced by many," said Zhang Yong ,Tmall president.
Alibaba began to hold Singles' Day promotions in 2009, and last year, its sales totaled 5.2 billion yuan. "I don't know whether we would lose money, but I don't think we could earn much on this day by selling goods at half price，" said Hao Hongfeng ， chairman of Beijing Jiuxian E-Commerce, a liquor retailer in Beijing who took part in the event. He said it is a good opportunity for online retailers to get their names known.
