On ‘Singles’ Day’ 11 November 2015, online shopping marketplace 11street threw a Korean-inspired celebration event at Lot 10. Although just eight months old, the website is already the Top 40 Malaysian website in terms of traffic (Alexa, 2015). To celebrate and thank its customers for their support, 11street has announced the biggest giveaway of the year – up to MYR11 million in terms of deals and coupons (up to 90% discounts).
The marketplace also took the opportunity to unveil new strategic plans for its mobile app and signature ‘Shocking Deals.’ 11street has chosen the 11th of each month as its ‘LOVE 11’ Day to bring great deals and giveaways to shoppers.
In Korea, 11 November is an annual event to show affection to loved ones.
