EP059 - Double11 Recap with Andrea Wasserman

Double11 (aka 11.11 or Singles Day) is the largest online shopping day in the world.  A shopping holiday largely invented by Alibaba.  This year Double11 generated $17.8B US GMV in sales (32% YoY growth).  82% of that GMV was via mobile devices.  It took 5 minutes to generate the first $1B in sales, with a peak order volume of 175,000 orders/second.  Cainiao, the largest shipping network in China processed 657 million delivery orders.   For comparison, CyberMonday (the largest online shopping day in the US) generated $2.3b US GMV, and UPS will ship 700m packages for the entire holiday season.

Andrea Wasserman is a retail veteran (Nordstrom, Sole Society, Hudson’s Bay and 9West), who was in a guest of Alibaba’s in Shenzhen, China for this years event.  You can read more from Andrea on her blog, CaptainCustomer.com
