Singles’ Day Fever: Lazada, Zalora and Qoo10 vouchers, promo codes

Started by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, the first Singles’ Day Sale in 2009 started with a modest participation of only 27 merchants. In no time, the mega sale event caught the attention of the world with 11/11 sales growing exponentially each year. During a 24-hour period last year, Alibaba racked up sales of USD 25.3 billion.

Singles’ Day is back this year, and celebrating its 10th anniversary. Whether you’re actually single or not is moot: this mammoth sale has something for EVERYONE, with every online retailer jumping on the bandwagon.

You can actually pre-order goods on Tmall since 20 Oct. With a whopping 500,000 items to choose from (and that’s just one online mall), you will be spoilt for choice.

What’s more, Alibaba-owned Lazada is also hosting its first 11.11 Shopping Festival across Southeast Asia with Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam all taking part. Not to be outdone, e-commerce giants Zalora and Qoo10 are also holding their own 11.11 Singles Day deals.

Let the countdown begin, and get your credit cards ready.
