Consumers are Hungry for Deals Earlier in the Season
A new U.S. Consumer Insights Report by AliExpress and Censuswide found that almost 4 in 5 (79%) U.S. consumers surveyed said discounts and promotions are important to them when doing their holiday shopping. Over half (55%) of U.S. consumers would be interested in a major shopping holiday taking place earlier in the year, before Black Friday or Cyber Monday, with 27% stating it would help spread out their spending over a longer period.
"With our report indicating that 28% of consumers treat themselves only once a year or less, and 29% are not treating themselves more due to budget constraints, major promotional events that are earlier in the holiday season like Singles' Day are perhaps more significant than ever," said Chris Carl, Head of Marketing, AliExpress U.S. "We strive for Singles' Day to be a moment where everyone can feel good about treating themselves because they know they're getting a great deal. Beyond that, we also aim to make online shopping a fun and engaging experience. This Singles' Day, that means offering incredible prizes through our '$1 Challenge' and encouraging consumers to show us their moves with our 'Shake that App' social media challenge."
