The Blue Dot Sale will take place over four days from the 25th to the 28th November with fresh new deals being added onto the site each day. Shoppers should look out for the blue dots across the site to find the deals they are after – a process known as “Shop the Dots”. Prices are being kept under wraps until midnight on the 24th of November.
Previews of special deals are being released this week (from 22 November) exclusively to those with the free Takealot mobile shopping app, giving app shoppers the opportunity to shop the exclusive deals first.
New to their offering this year is the launch of a VIP Facebook Events Page which is already featuring teasers of their biggest brands and best deals on offer every day leading up to Black Friday – but only for those who RSVP ‘Going’ or ‘Interested’ on the event page.
Customers who make purchases via the app between the 15th and 23rd November will also automatically be entered into a draw to win R5,000 in store credit, which they can then use to shop during the Blue Dot Sale or until their limit has been reached. The winner will be announced on Takealot’s Facebook and Twitter pages on the 24th November.
