The longest double 11 will only be shorter.
This year’s double 11 came a little early.
Double 11, the longest, may close early.
With the mobile APP icons of major e-commerce platforms updated with the words "11.11", the "double 11" promotion in 2024 has also started in recent days.
Recently, Tmall, JD.COM and Pinduoduo all announced that this year’s "double 11" will officially start on October 14th, 2024.
In 2024, "Tik Tok Mall double 11 Good Things Festival" was officially launched on October 18th.
Aauto Quicker "double 11" Shopping Festival opened for pre-sale on October 10th.
Xiaohongshu launched the "1-year shopping spree" on October 12.
This year’s "double 11", the activity duration of each major platform can be described as "super long standby", which is ahead of schedule in different degrees compared with last year.
As early as the eve of the National Day holiday, many mainstream e-commerce platforms launched the "double 11" promotion activities and investment concessions.
It is understood that the pre-sale of Tmall’s "double 11" in 2023 will start on October 24th, and this year’s "double 11" activity is 10 days earlier than last year.
Many people have crowned this year’s "double 11" as "the longest double 11".
Along with it, it is the calculation of various increasingly complex platform preferential activities.
As early as 2009, the first "11.11" was recognized by everyone. The activity time began at 0: 00 on November 11 of that year, and the activity was also the simplest promotion of major brands.
Even if the platforms and businesses are full of energy, it is an indisputable fact that many consumers are tired of shopping promotions such as "double 11".
Double 11 is so long, will it really be a protracted war?
Or a lively shouting?
In this regard, national business daily reporter Yang Xinyi and Shu Le had an exchange. The monkey thought:
No matter how long it is, there is no advantage. This time, the Double Eleven is a routine, and it is difficult to have more stimulation.
After all, in the past, double 11 was a special festival and a special day, but now it is the "lowest price of the whole network" every day, and the price war has become numb in the screaming hawking of various anchors.
The key question is: how to be cheap.
Obviously, as a platform, the power to oppress merchants to participate in special offers is weakening.
After all, there was only one e-commerce channel in the past: the platform.
Now, there are not only more and more platforms, but also the daily "double 11" like Pinduoduo.
There are many new channels, especially a large number of uncontrollable anchors, which have become a number of capillary channels.
They are all diluting the oppressive power of single-digit channels on businesses in the past.
In addition, when consumers come out of the impulse of blind consumption in the past, they no longer only look at the cost performance, but also pay more attention to the quality-price ratio, and double 11 has become a joke.
The longest double 11 is actually not the longest, because it will be double 11 for 365 days in the following year, and the real double 11 will be the shortest.
Perhaps the only bright spot of this year’s "double 11" is that the major e-commerce platforms have enhanced consumers’ shopping experience by "removing their own barriers".
