Takealot to pay R4 million back to SA shoppers after Boks win!

346 shoppers to be refunded their share of R4 million for “back the bucks” by Takealot and Samsung.

 

Johannesburg, South Africa – You should have bought that TV!!! A pretty cool campaign, and a win for you if you did!

This weekend, South Africa held its breath as our Boks went head-to-head with England’s Lions in an epic World Cup final.

Roars erupted across the country as the 80 minute mark ticked past and the Springboks triumphed, taking home that coveted trophy for the third time. Captain Siya Kolisi led the team to glory with grace and good sportsmanship, and everywhere, South African flags flew high. The win means lots of things to many people… including a fully refunded Samsung TV for qualifying takealot.com shoppers!

Throughout the tournament, South Africa’s leading e-commerce company, takealot.com, partnered with Samsung to #backthebucks, rallying fans across the country to support the boys in green and gold.

Says Julie-Anne Walsh, Chief Marketing Officer at takealot.com, “The Boks triumphed over the English at the Rugby World Cup, and we are celebrating along with the country. Even more so for 346 of our shoppers who bought Samsung TVs as part of the #backthebucks promotion and will be getting all their money back – about R4 million in total. As a proudly South African company, we’re delighted with the result for the Boks and our winners!”

As part of this promotion, all shoppers who bought selected Samsung TVs within the designated period, will be refunded the full value of their purchasing price. Takealot will automatically credit the accounts of all 346 eligible participants within ten days. Just under 400 units across three different Samsung TV sets were made available, and collectively, amounted to R4 million, which will all be refunded to Bok fans.

This is in keeping with Takealot’s proudly South African, client-centric stance.
