Ma's mamas can't keep 11-11 going on forever

By Meng Jing (China Daily) Updated: 2014-11-13 14:05

My 56-year-old mother likes her beauty sleep. But she stayed up late on Monday, to make sure she could snatch an early bargain on Tuesday, during China's annual online shopping extravaganza.

Ma's mamas can't keep 11-11 going on forever

 Meng Jing

Those like my mother have now been given a name: "Jack Ma's women" - female shopaholics who cannot resist a bargain - and many believe it was this group especially who were the driving force behind this year's record-breaking sales during Singles' Day, of 57.1 billion yuan ($9.3 billion).

As a reporter covering China's booming e-commerce sector, however, I was certainly not one of the typical target customers for Ma. 

I was asked several times by colleagues and friends on Tuesday what kinds of things I had bought. I was a little bit embarrassed to admit that I had bought nothing.

But I had a very decent excuse. Along with around 400 other journalists from China and abroad, I had endured sleepless 24 hours, reporting from the scene, so to speak, at Alibaba's corporate headquarters in Hangzhou.

We all had to sleep and eat in a crowded auditorium, while at the same time staring at a rapidly rising number, a real-time sales figure clicking ever higher on a giant screen.

Even if I had wanted to, I did not have the time to shop amid a hectic schedule of updating my editors back in Beijing, doing interviews, writing stories, and checking and replying to e-mails.

But the main reason I did not spend anything was the simple fact that I did not find anything in the sales that I genuinely needed. When I shop, I always buy things that I really want to own. I never buy anything just because the price is irresistibly cheap.

As Chinese consumers get wealthier and more sophisticated, we can only expect more sales events such as Singles' Day because more often than not companies see them as great opportunities to shift cheap goods at huge discounts, rather than the chance to offer a selection of new or quality goods.

Headline discounts and high sales are really what these kinds of shopping events are about.

Few online merchants actually make a profit because of the growing level of fierce competition, because often they are having to cut their prices to the bone, just to make a sale.
