Singles Day On Dealmoon.com Attracts 600% Increase in U.S. Retailer Participants Since Debuting in America

DALLAS, Nov. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- After Alibaba made Singles Day into an online shopping phenomenon, Dealmoon.com was credited with bringing it the U.S., and this year brought 180 U.S. retailers to the site with exclusive Singles Day offers; a 600% increase compared to only 30 in 2013. For those retailers, who include a pantheon of the most storied U.S. department stores and coveted luxury brands, the "Kayak of Luxury Brands" captured a record breaking 4.8 million unique visits and a total of 46 million page views when the shopping frenzy began on November 10 and ended on November 11. After building a powerful reputation among Chinese-American consumers, Dealmoon.com's 2015 push into mainstream America seemed to have an impact as 80% of their Singles Day traffic this year came the U.S.

"We expected 3 million visitors," said Co-Founder, Jennifer Wang, "but surpassed our prediction by 60%. Though we are waiting for a final reporting from our vendors, we estimate that our merchant sales were 5 times more than last year. Many of our high-end luxury beauty and skincare merchants even exceeded sales expectation for Black Friday and others sold out entire inventories on their site. Aside from our robust new U.S. shoppers, the heaviest traffic we generated came from China, Canada, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia, Singapore, Japan, the United Kingdom and New Zealand."

Singles Day sales surpassed Cyber Monday by four times in 2014 ($9 billion vs. $2.65 billion) to become the biggest online shopping day. Black Friday still tops both at sales of $50.9 billion (2014), but the numbers of ^[1]people who are shopping in brick and mortar retail environments has halved down to 26.5 million in 2014 from 45 million in 2013. 

"When the dust settles post Black Friday and Cyber Monday and we get a final accounting," added Wang, "it will be interesting to see which phenomenon wins out."
