Taobao merchants can notify and set up suspension during the Spring Festival in a variety of ways:

1. **Store Announcement**: Taobao merchants can publish suspension notices on the store homepage or product details page to inform consumers of the operation arrangements during the Spring Festival. This can be achieved through the store decoration function, so that customers can see this notice as soon as they enter the store.

2. **Qianniu automatic reply**: Using the Qianniu software provided by Taobao, merchants can set up automatic reply messages. When consumers consult through customer service during the Spring Festival, the system will automatically reply with relevant information about the suspension, reducing consumers' waiting time.

3. **Logistics service settings**: Merchants can set up logistics services during the Spring Festival in the backend management system. For example, merchants can set a specific delivery date or turn off the automatic delivery function.

4. **Order processing**: For orders that have already been generated, merchants should communicate with consumers to determine the delivery time based on Taobao's regulations and their own actual situation. If the goods in the order cannot be shipped normally during the Spring Festival, the merchant should take the initiative to contact the buyer and explain the situation.

5. **Special Note**: Taobao has special regulations for certain large items or special categories of goods. When selling such goods, merchants should give special instructions on the product page or in the order details.

When setting up suspension of operations during the Spring Festival, Taobao merchants should also pay attention to the following points:

- **Prepare in Advance**: Merchants should make suspension notices in advance to avoid inconvenience to consumers during the Spring Festival.

- **Resource Scheduling**: During the Spring Festival, even if the express company does not stop operations, merchants may be affected by insufficient inventory or staff holidays. Therefore, it is very important to allocate resources and estimate the order volume reasonably.

- **After-sales Service**: Although the Spring Festival is a holiday, merchants still need to consider after-sales service to ensure that the rights and interests of consumers are not affected.

- **New Product Promotion**: After the Spring Festival is a period when consumers browse and purchase goods in large quantities. Merchants can use this opportunity to promote new products and obtain better sales results.

In summary, Taobao merchants should make full use of the various tools and functions provided by Taobao, plan and set up relevant matters related to the Spring Festival shutdown in advance, so as to ensure smooth store operations during the holiday and maintain good relationships with consumers.
