Some Sunday background reading as the clock ticks down to Singles Day on Nov 11 - the biggest shopping frenzy in the world, which last year raked in $18 billion in sales in 24 hours!
This year OBJ have the magnetic booster and magnemask competing for those dollars. Some big orders surely must have been placed by P&G in preparation.
Interesting to note that Alibaba, owner of Taobao and Tmall, is focusing on high-end luxury this year, while JD.com is due to launch a new online marketplace, TOPLIFE, dedicated to luxury on Nov 11.  Sounds promising for SK II.
