H&M celebrates its very first tmall super brand day
On September 12, H&M held for the first time a Tmall Super Brand Day on Tmall, one of the world’s largest e-commerce platforms. To celebrate the day, H&M China held a star-studded event, including a see now-buy now H&M Studio A/W 2018 fashion show, in Shanghai in the evening of September 12. On H&M Tmall Super Brand Day, campaign garments wore by celebrities were sold out within minutes.
Tmall’s unique and strong position in Mainland China with half a billion consumers is an important complement to H&M China’s over 400 physical stores and online store. H&M launched its Tmall store in March this year and hosting H&M Super Brand Day on Tmall is the next step. During the day Chinese fashion lovers were offered special promotions in the H&M Tmall store with a campaign called #Your Day Your Way.
“Accelerating from the successful launch of the H&M Tmall flagship store in March, we are super thrilled to collaborate with Tmall and have our very first Super Brand Day within a quick six months. Ahead of the Super Brand Day we had over 4 million followers on Tmall, as we have gained on average 25,000 fans every day since the launch. China is a very important market for us and we are happy to show fashion fans our amazing collections at our first-ever fashion show in China”,
says Fredrik Olsson, Managing Director H&M.

I hope we can further cooperate with H&M to explore new retail in the future and create a unique and premium platform for our consumers who love fashion”.
