Game
and Makro will be running Black Friday deals throughout the month of November,
as opposed to only releasing deals for a restricted 3 to 5-day period from 27
November.
This arrangement will involve spreading deals over the month of
November rather than concentrating deals into just one week or day.
“Black
Friday traditionally sees high concentrations of shoppers in retail stores
across the country, which can create a challenging shopping environment.
Therefore, we have taken the decision to reimagine the way we do Black Friday
in 2020. In an effort to create a more consumer-friendly Black Friday
experience while adhering to all Covid-19 and social distancing protocols,
Makro and Game have taken the decision to extend the duration of our Black
Friday promotion,” says Brian Leroni, Massmart Corporate Affairs Executive.
At Game and
Makro, Black Friday deals will run from 2 to 29 November.
“Our
research has shown that Game and Makro are South Africa’s most popular Black
Friday shopping destinations. To further improve the shopping experience during
this period, Game and Makro have, after analysing the Black Friday shopper
information available to us, taken the decision to provide our customers with
more opportunity and time to benefit from the Black Friday prices by rather
releasing new Black Friday deals each week during the month of November. These
unbeatable specials will only run for the week in which they are announced, and
will not be offered again – so we encourage shoppers to take advantage of the deals
each week, rather than waiting until the end of November as they normally
would,” says Leroni.
More
information about the incredible deals including some big ticket items such as
large appliances, electronics, home living items, televisions and more will be
provided in the coming weeks. As always, sneak previews of some of the deals
will be available on the Game and Makro social media feeds and email
newsletters. Customers can subscribe to Game and Makro newsletters on each of
the brand’s websites for sneak previews.
