What is Single’s Day?
Single’s Day is a one-day, 24 hours, once-a-year event when single people celebrate their single status.
For many, it has become a shopping holiday. At the same time, it is an opportunity to enjoy significant discounts and promotions across many luxury items.

When is Single’s Day?
Single’s Day is celebrated across the World on November 11th each year. The confusion caused by launching an alternative day in the UK means that some organisations direct shoppers to March 11th. However, since November 11th has received Worldwide attention, many regard this day as the official date to mark the event.

In the UK, Armistice Day falls on November 11th. For this reason, some retailers choose March 11th as an alternative to the November date.
Owing to our global client base we run promotions to serve both days.
Origin and significance
The day originated in China as an unofficial holiday. It began in 1993 when four male students at the Nanjing University decided to honour their singledom with a day of celebration. Since then, the occasion spread, aided by the rise of social media and now receives a Worldwide stage.
The significance of the date centres around the symbolism of the number 1, and this single digit represents a single person.
The Chinese word Pinyin relates to a bare stick—an unmarried, unattached man, yet to add branches to the family tree. The day was originally named Bachelor’s Day, but the name changed due to widespread popularity across both sexes. In fact,
The eleventh month of November represented by 11 represents two individuals finding each other. For this reason, Single’s Day celebrates single status and the discovery of love and the fulfilment of a relationship.

The symbol 11-11 has become a recognised symbol for the event. The number indicates the day and month when singles and couples celebrate the day.
This occasion has helped reduce the stigma of being single. However, many couples have adopted the day to get engaged and married.

Fact: Did you know sales on this day account for more than four times the sales volume made on Black Friday and Cyber Monday? This year the day will gross more than Worldwide sales of Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined. Far more than the previous year. It has become the largest shopping day in the World.
