With the worst of the pandemic largely in our rear-view mirror, marketers have done their very best to marry how experience will shape holiday shopping habits with previous years’ data to develop a strategy that incents purchase. And despite all the negative effects of the pandemic, Singles’ Day 2021 still saw record-breaking sales records across China’s most popular ecommerce platforms. However, 2022 poses some new challenges including a sharp increase in competition via an overload of live-streamed shopping events and online retail festivals. Combined with potentially weakened consumer confidence—a pandemic hangover—and macro-economic uncertainty across the globe, we can’t wait to see what Singles’ Day 2022 has in store.
