Unless you’ve been living under a rock with no secure internet connection, you’re probably aware that November 11 aka 11.11 is the day to beat when it comes to the biggest sale of the year. Singles’ Day, as it’s fondly known, is the perfect time to begin that exciting Christmas shopping because of all the amazing deals.

Fortunately, ZALORA is holding a massive sale to celebrate Singles’ Day, and you are sure to expect massive discounts on your favorite brands at up to 90% off, plus crazy flash sales and daily bargains happening throughout the day!

Don’t know where to begin? Here are tried-and-tested tips to make shopping this sale season a breeze.

1. Just in case you haven’t yet, download the ZALORA app and turn on those push notifications.

It’s very easy to get overwhelmed with everyday life, and it’s nice to be reminded of a good deal you’ve been waiting for all week. Make sure you don’t miss out on ZALORA’s limited time offers and price slashes by letting your phone’s notifications remind you as soon as they go live.

You can also subscribe to ZALORA’s newsletter, and sign up for alerts on Instagram and Facebook so you catch those exciting promos!

2. Unsure about the fit? Find your size with our sizing recommendation tool.

Shopping is already a task when you can try on items, but even more so when you’re picking them off of a website. Different brands follow all sorts of sizing guidelines, and your size in one brand might not be applicable to another.

Enter ZALORA’s sizing recommendation tool — for selected pieces, you can find it on the desktop version as “Find My Size”. Just input your basic measurements, the size of your favorite piece from a brand sold on the site, and the fit you want your new item to be. ZALORA will then do data magic and recommend a more accurate size for you!

If the sizing recommendation tool isn’t applicable on the item you wish to purchase, you can follow ZALORA’s size guide for more information.

3. Pre-load your bags with your fashion picks and get ready to checkout on November 11.

Get a head start on your shopping and start looking at items today. You may decide to pick up your favorite items now (some of them may already be on sale!) so you can get first dibs, but you can also save them for the day of the Mega Sale in hopes of scoring them at a bigger deal— that is if you’re confident enough to risk it going out of stock!

Save yourself the hassle of figuring out if the items are still available in your size by adding them to your wishlist and just checking your picks from there.

That way, when the clock strikes 12 on November 11, you can speed right ahead to checkout. Your well-rested self can thank me later.

4. Join ZALORA NOW for express shipping and other exclusive promos!
