Alibaba Group Holding expects to record double-digit sales growth for its Singles’ Day campaign in Hong Kong, following the launch of a 1 billion yuan (US$142 million) promotion to waive delivery charges for Taobao users in the city.
The Hangzhou-based e-commerce powerhouse on October 1 started a three-month promotion to waive delivery fees for certain Taobao orders that cost more than 99 yuan, covering categories such as fashion accessories, electronics, skincare and cosmetic products. Alibaba owns the South China Morning Post.
