HUGE savings at Tmall’s flash sale
Taobao’s known for its plethora of inexpensive deals. But few know of its cousin, Tmall – an online platform that brings big-name brands like Adidas, Beats and the like straight to consumers. They organised the EPIC 11.11 Global Shopping Festival last year, and they’re back with MORE discounts this June with their Tmall 6.18 Mid-Year Mega Sale.
Get your phones ready – from 18 to 20 June 2017, merchants on Tmall will slash up to a whopping 50% on a massive number of products in a 3-day only sale.
