BEIJING, June 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The "618" Grand Promotion of 2024 has drawn to a close, a landmark event that has ushered in a new era of simplified shopping. This year's event has eschewed the traditional pre-sales format in favor of an elongated promotional period designed to improve the consumer experience. E-commerce titans—Alibaba, JD, Pinduoduo, Douyin, and Kuaishou—have harmonized their event schedules to facilitate a more convenient and efficient shopping journey for consumers.
The platforms have recalibrated their operational focus, moving from a growth-driven to a user-centric approach. This strategic realignment is evident in the comprehensive support provided to SMEs and new merchants, which includes the deployment of AI and other state-of-the-art productivity tools to bolster their business capabilities.
The livestreaming platforms have become a highlight of this year's promotion, but despite its rapid development, the scale and service are still no match for traditional e-commerce.
