Not too long ago many people in Spain and many other countries around the world did not know what Black Friday or Black Friday was. This celebration originally from the United States, and where virtual stores and for not long also physical stores, offer us succulent discounts and offers to benefit from just before Christmas.
Another of these celebrations is the Singles Day, which is celebrated on November 11 and that this time it is celebrated in China. At the moment it is not as well known as Black Friday, but its expansion is already unstoppable around the world, especially thanks to the many Chinese stores that sell their products through the network of networks. One of them is Gearbest, of which today we are going to review the best offers for this celebration.
If you have never heard of Singles Day, don't worry because first of all we are going to tell you a lot of information so that you understand and understand this increasingly widespread celebration.
What is Singles Day that is celebrated each year on November 11?
Singles Day is a holiday that It is celebrated on November 11 of each year in China and other Asian countries such as Taiwan or South Korea and that it is spreading with greater speed throughout many other countries around the world.
This day was created in the mid-90s by a group of university students from Nanjing, a major Chinese city, who were of course single. The purpose of all of them was to defend their singleness, taking pride in it, despite living in a culture where marriage is highly valued.
The chosen date was not a mere coincidence and is that It is composed of four ones, a figure that in Chinese writing is interpreted as leafless trees and that is used on many occasions as a metaphor for unmarried people.
Its commercial dyes arose in 2009 from the hand of Alibabá, one of the giants of global electronic commerce and through two of its best known portals such as TaoBao and Tmall. The passage of the years has served for this celebration to be considered the most important, surpassing Black Friday, Cyber Monday or Boxing Day. Of course, at least for the moment its fame is not worldwide and much of its success resides only in Asian countries.
How do GearBest offers work on the occasion of Singles Day?
The offers that we will find in the popular Chinese store will be separated into two distinct phases. In the first one, any user can see Red bubbles that appear on the website when we are browsing it and that will be discounts on specific brands or products. This phase will begin today, November 7, and during it we will be able to accumulate coupons.
These coupons that we accumulate can be used from the moment they are obtained or wait for the second phase. As a tip from what has happened in other years, the best time to use coupons is November 11, the date on which we can find the most interesting offers.
This second phase is the phase baptized as the sales, and that will start on November 9 until November 15. These days will be the most suitable to use the coupons obtained and is that the discounts and rebates will be much greater in most articles.
These are some of the most prominent GearBest offers
Next we are going to show you some of the best featured deals on GearBest, although to benefit from them remember that you must have the coupons that you can "hunt" by browsing the website of the Chinese store.
As we have already told you, these are just some of the offers that we can find these days in GearBest and in another part of the website of the Chinese store we will find interesting offers almost continuously, although in very limited units, with which It will be difficult for us to get hold of them unless we are very attentive.
Our recommendation
We have already experienced many of these celebrations, from different Chinese stores, and as a recommendation we could tell you to take it easy and without haste. And is that the best offers and discounts on many items will arrive on the specific day of the holiday, in this case on November 11. Today we do find interesting offers that surely will not change with the passage of time, but perhaps you can talk about the products you want to buy and stay tuned in case they lower their price even more.
Also be careful with your bank card, that in this type of celebrations you end up buying things that are not needed and only because they have a very low price. Days later, when they get home, one regrets having celebrated Singles Day in style, and the sometimes complicated process of having to return everything that we do not want and that we have bought to buy begins.
What offers have you found interesting of the many that at this time we can find on GearBest?.
