1. The Double 11 Shopping Carnival refers to the online promotion day on November 11 every year, which originated from the online promotion activities held on November 11, 2009 in Taobao Mall (Tmall). At that time, the number of merchants involved and the promotion efforts were limited, but the turnover was far beyond the expected effect, so November 11 became a fixed date for Tmall to hold large-scale promotion activities.
2. The Double Eleven has become an annual event in China's e-commerce industry, and has gradually affected the international e-commerce industry.
