When is the cheapest time to buy things on Double Eleven? What is the hottest selling thing on Double Eleven?

The annual Double Eleven shopping carnival is here again, and everyone is gearing up for a good shopping spree. The discounts on Double Eleven are huge. In order to make it easier for everyone to shop, everyone needs to figure out which ones are most worth buying.

The discounts for goods purchased on Double Eleven Day are the biggest, but when it comes to different goods, it depends on the regulations of different merchants! It is recommended to pay attention to the details page of the required product in time! From the perspective of the investment policy of the Double Eleven Global Carnival in 2020, the 50% off carnival is still a highlight. The merchants will settle the goods with consumers at half the counter price for all the goods in the Double Eleven Global Carnival. Double Eleven is not a day, the real Double Eleven is only two hours, or even one hour. 90% of the good things will basically be sold out within one or two hours after 0 o'clock. If you think about buying it after waking up the next day, you often find that it is a lot of soldout. Of course, many stores will restock during the day, but don’t you feel tired waiting there? It’s better to buy all at once at the beginning. Therefore, it is most important to allocate your energy reasonably and buy what you want most in the first hour, which is also the hour when the network is the slowest.

1. Flash sale type.

The prices of this kind of things are really very attractive, but the water is really deep, and it is full of various fancy routines. I don't know if you have ever grabbed a flash sale. Anyway, I tried 1 or 2 times a long time ago, and then gave up. Are you afraid that the limited edition 400 flash sale items will be sold out in 1 second?! I don't have that kind of god-level hand speed, so I don't covet such a bargain. And the limited edition 1 or 2 items, you can't even think about it. Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people are waiting there to pick up the bargain. It's all tears to say more. You will understand it if you try it yourself. Some roads in life need to be walked by yourself to know. (Black question mark) There are generally no routines in the official direct-operated stores of brands, because the management is formal, and the flash sales released are real benefits, which are all for the fast hands to grab. For example, razors, such as Philips official store released 100 electric razors for 1 yuan, then this is definitely real, it depends on whether you are willing or not or whether there is a way to grab it. There are many software scripts for grabbing flash sales now. Normally, the probability of grabbing them manually is very, very low, so low that you can pick up 100 yuan when you go out. You can try the flash sales that are limited to hundreds of pieces, but don't waste your time on the ones that are limited to 1 or 2 pieces. Many flash sales in non-brand direct stores are fake, such as releasing a GUCCI big bag for one yuan, waiting for seconds, and the item is taken off the shelves before the flash sale, and then it is suddenly put on the shelves when you don't know when it is, and it is bought by someone. In fact, everything is operated by internal personnel. Some are decided by the company, and some are personal behaviors of employees (abusing power to take advantage). I have personally encountered this situation more than once. Anyway, the purpose of flash sales is to attract traffic. If the purpose is achieved, they will not lose money. You want to complain? Question? Sorry, these are all spontaneous activities of the store. The store has the final right of interpretation. To put it bluntly, they don't have to explain if they don't want to. They have no obligation to explain to you. I want to hold an event, so I will do it. If I don't want to hold it, I won't hold it. It's none of your business. I am so willful. Therefore, flash sales are poisonous! I make a tearful appeal, stay away from flash sales, and don’t waste your emotions and energy on such illusory bargains.

2. Best-selling products.

This kind of thing is the biggest seller on Double Eleven, and it is also the main force. Simply put, it is the product that the merchant has sufficient stock and is the main push. For example, the Converse classic canvas shoes priced at 180 have thousands of stocks in stock. Another example is a beer box package that a tobacco and alcohol merchant mainly pushes, with tens of thousands of stocks in stock. Can you buy the hot items? Of course you can buy them. Since they are the main force, they are naturally the main area for everyone to sweep the goods, but you have to be picky. Let me solemnly say here that I personally strongly recommend that you do not buy hot items in the wear category. The reason is very simple. Because of the huge shipment volume, the collision rate is very high. Maybe in the past week of Double Eleven, you will see someone on the street wearing the same style and color new shoes as you. The two of you smiled at each other and communicated with your eyes, "Hey, brother, you also bought them in xx Tmall store on Double Eleven", "Hey, yes, it's fate." My imagination may be a bit far-fetched, but I believe that most people don't like to see the same style. The probability of seeing the same style in the central areas of first- and second-tier cities with thousands or even tens of thousands of goods in stock is much higher than you think. Anyway, I once encountered a pair of shoes that I didn't buy, and then I saw it more than once on the street. I was so embarrassed that I thought it was a good thing I didn't buy it. Of course, if you really don't care about the same style, you can ignore this and buy it willfully.

3. Other common commodities or hard goods with small discounts.

What is a hard product? It means something that is basically never discounted and has a very stable price, such as Apple products and game consoles such as Xbox. Many of these things will also take advantage of the popularity during Double Eleven, and come with a wave of discounts, usually in the form of a small price reduction + coupons. Although the discount is small, the price you get will still be significantly lower than usual. For people who need it, it is still cost-effective to buy it. Although the discount is not much, the value of this discount is very high. Then there are some other ordinary goods. Take clothing as an example. I personally recommend this type of goods to buy. Compared with the main popular items, the inventory of this type of goods will not be very sufficient, generally from a few dozen to one or two hundred pieces. Because the quantity is limited, buying it back will not cause serious collisions. In terms of price, the discount may not be as strong as the main popular items, but you have to know that spending a little more money to buy a personalized one, I personally think it is still cost-effective. In addition, there are many routines in this aspect of price. It is not that the discount of the popular items you see is large, and its strength is really the greatest. This is explained in detail below. Everyone knows that the focus of Double Eleven is discounts. The slogan is up to 50% off. Of course, the slogan is just a slogan. Just take a look and don't take it too seriously. The slogan of Double Eleven, like other commercial promotion slogans, has deep routines. The premise of identifying all routines is that you must have an understanding of the market conditions of the item including the normal price range before Double Eleven. This is very simple but very important. Repeat it three times, repeat it three times, repeat it three times, repeat it three times, repeat it three times, and it seems to be repeated more than three times. Anyway, this point is very important. No matter what you want to buy on Double Eleven, you must understand the price of the item in advance, so that you can make an objective comparison.

Most of the stores on Tmall, especially those of well-known brands, are 90% directly operated by the brand, and a small part is operated by officially authorized regular agents. A big feature of official stores is that they are expensive. Simply put, the price is not much different from that of offline stores. The advantage of online shopping, besides convenience, is it not cheap? The officially authorized agent Tmall stores are sometimes a little cheaper, but also limited. The advantages of official stores and agent stores are that they are definitely genuine, and you don’t need to worry about this. In addition, you can issue invoices, and the warranty is also complete and reassuring. Although most ordinary stores also have certain guarantees, there are still risks in general. Although it is not big, official stores don’t have to worry about authenticity and after-sales service. Just buy and receive the goods without thinking. Discounts themselves are also divided into gold content. Some things are still not cost-effective after discounts. This is related to the brand’s pricing strategy in China. For example, Hong Kong is a shopping paradise. Everyone knows that most things are priced the same as the local brands. However, the body shop in Hong Kong is much more expensive than in the UK. When the UK is doing promotions, you can buy things for 30 or 40 RMB, but you need more than 100 in Hong Kong. This is not a tax issue, but a pure pricing difference. Whether a thing is cheap or not is not determined by how much it has been reduced, but by how it compares with the normal market price! There are also quite a few shops with deep routines who will falsely report the price before the discount. Even Taobao’s own Tmall supermarket is like this. You often see promotions of 50 off for purchases over 99, but the original price is very touching, much higher than the supermarket price near my home. In the end, it is no different from buying in the supermarket, and you have to collect a lot of things to make a group order, which is not worth the loss.

Unlike previous Double 11s, the 2020 Double 11 Global Carnival will launch "11.11" shopping vouchers. This is a product developed specifically for Tmall consumers. During the Double 11 Global Carnival, consumers can enjoy consumption discounts through shopping vouchers. All products in stores participating in the 2015 "Tmall Double 11 Global Carnival" must support the use of Tmall shopping vouchers. On Double 11, after enjoying a 50% discount on shopping at a certain Tmall store, consumers can also use shopping vouchers to enjoy discounts again.
