SHOPPERS will spend record sums online in the next few weeks—in China for Singles Day on November 11th, in America on Black Friday and around the world in the run-up to Christmas.
It is symbolized by the four number ones in the date of November 11–11.11—and is also called Double Eleven, in reference to the day it was started, said the BBC.
