Here are all the Discounts, Deals, and Events for this year’s Alibaba 11.11 Global Shopping Festival

Taobao Marketplace (“Taobao”) and Tmall, Alibaba Group’s popular e-commerce platforms, launches the annual 11.11 Global Shopping Festival for shoppers in Singapore. With the growing global popularity of the e-commerce giant, are there alternatives to Alibaba?

Mirroring Alibaba’s growing commitment to Singapore, as demonstrated by the recent launch of Southeast Asia’s first Taobao Store at Funan, this year’s 11.11 in Singapore will include even more facets of Alibaba’s vision of seamless digital integration of online and offline commerce.

11.11 Countdown Gala

For the very first time, Singapore shoppers will be able to participate in the annual 11.11 Countdown Gala, which runs in the hours leading up to the 11.11 Global Shopping Festival. This year, the show is co-produced by Alibaba’s video-streaming platform Youku and Zhejiang Television and will exclusively broadcast in Singapore on Hub E City (Starhub TV Channel 111/825) starting at 7:30 pm on 10 November.

The star-studded live event will take place at Shanghai’s Mercedes-Benz Arena with a line-up of international and Chinese celebrities including Taylor Swift, G.E.M., Kana Hanazawa, among others. Using the Taobao app, viewers will be able to engage in the activities on stage and grab deals as low as RMB1 throughout the show.

Egg Hunt at Taobao Store

The offline celebrations at the Taobao Store by Virmall will include an egg hunt between 1 and 11 November, with mysterious eggs hidden around the store. Visitors simply have to scan the QR code embedded in the eggs with the Taobao app for a surprise, while also enjoying up to 70% discounts on selected products in-store, following an extensive refresh for 11.11.
