Always be innovating

I was running with a gent this weekend who had a top jeans agency for Africa. 100% of the their business was sold through stores. In less than two years, the majority of their merchandise is now sold online, and the stores are simply pick-up points for the jeans. Online is where everyone purchases now.

Luckily, our guests can’t sleep online, but this is just another reminder for us all: life, behaviour and indeed business is changing so radically – it is actually quite terrifying. But, it can be exciting. So embrace the challenge and keep thinking innovatively. From using your kitchen to cook and bake dishes that you can sell commercially, to offering your property for more than what it was used for in years gone by, to getting others to possibly rent the space for a complimentary service – think, think and think some more!

Best wishes for this great month.

Richard Lendrum & the GHASA team

Recharger’s Brands Store on Takealot expands consumer options

Recharger, a leading supplier of prepaid electricity sub-meters, tokens and token vending solutions, is proud to present its Recharger Brands Store on Takealot, South Africa’s premier e-commerce site.

“This gives our offering even greater credibility on Takealot, as a trusted brand,” explains Shaun Clarke, Senior Marketing Strategist. “Recharger had to undergo a vetting process by Takealot before being able to set up a Brands Store, which involved checking the company’s credentials and products before being allowed to set up the Brands Store on the site.

“Being able to offer Recharger products on Takealot offers great advantages for purchasers, including the fact that the site is a familiar and widely-used platform that offers ease of process as well as quick delivery or collection of purchases nationwide. Other benefits of Recharger include our unmatched after-sales service, as well as the fact that we are the only local prepaid electricity sub-meter company to offer a life-time warranty on selected sub-meters.”

The prepaid sub-meters offered in Recharger’s range are all of international standard, as well as STS (Standard Transfer Specification) certified. The STS standard provides compatibility between certified STS-compliant electricity dispensers and vending systems in the electricity dispensing industry to the benefit of the customer, distributor and agent.

All Recharger sub-meters must be installed independently by registered electricians. Recharger prepaid sub-meters are used in homes, cottages, apartment blocks, retail stores and holiday rentals across the country to easily monitor and manage electricity consumption.

“Recharger supplies a comprehensive range of three-phase and single-phase electricity sub-meters, which is reflected in our selection on our Takealot Brands Store. We are highly experienced in assisting our clients to select the correct sub-meter for their needs,” says Clarke. Residential homes are usually served by a single-phase power supply, while commercial and industrial facilities typically use a three-phase supply.

“When users are able to pay upfront for their energy needs, this assists in eliminating large and unexpected monthly bills, and so, by installing a prepaid electricity sub-meter, anyone can work smarter in measuring and monitoring their electricity consumption.”

Currently, Recharger is the only prepaid electricity sub-meter company with a brand store on Takealot.
