Makro will host an extended Black Friday sale for most of November in response to the coronavirus pandemic and social distancing requirements.
The retailer said it stepped up efforts to minimize the spread of Covid-19, which include proactive deep cleaning of all stores every day, frequent disinfection of high-touch areas, carts and collection points.
“Excited customers can rest easy knowing they are safe when they line up for what will be a four-week event with massive sales.” The group said it will also offer its offers online for customers who do not make it to travel to stores.
The sale runs from November 2 to 29, with new specials only available for the week they are announced.
Makro said these sales will not be offered again, so he encouraged shoppers to take advantage of the deals each week, rather than waiting until the end of November.
Other features that will be offered during the course of the Black Friday sale include:
- 10% cashback in mRewards during opening week (November 2-8) on general non-promotional merchandise in store and online;
- Limited delivery fee of R90 on all orders, excluding extended range items and commercial orders;
- Free locker delivery on qualified orders;
- Same day delivery on grocery and liquor orders through the One Cart app;
- 50 new and exciting offers every week.
One month of offers
“Black Friday traditionally sees high concentrations of shoppers in retail stores across the country, which can create a challenging shopping environment,” said Brian Leroni, corporate affairs executive at Massmart.
“Therefore, we have made the decision to reinvent the way we do Black Friday in 2020.
“In an effort to create a more consumer-friendly Black Friday experience while adhering to all social distancing and Covid-19 protocols, Makro and Game have made the decision to extend the duration of our Black Friday promotion.” He said.
Leroni said the decision to keep a month of deals comes after analyzing information from previous Black Friday shoppers.
He said the extended period will provide customers with more opportunities and time to benefit from Black Friday pricing, as stores launch new deals every week during the month of November.
“These specials will only be posted during the week they are advertised and will not be offered again, so we encourage buyers to take advantage of the deals each week, rather than waiting until late November as they normally would,” he said. Leroni.
He said more information on the deals will be provided in the coming weeks, including some expensive items like large appliances, electronics, household items, televisions and more.
