Black Friday<\/a> has firmly cemented itself in the South African retail calendar as a day to look forward to. Originally a celebrated by Americans a day after Thanksgiving, this \u2018shopping festival\u2019 has taken the
\nonline world by storm and brought all the brick and mortars stores along with it.<\/p>\n

Q: Just how big is it really?
\nA: Big. Really big.<\/p>\n

As one of South Africa\u2019s largest fashion retailers, Zando saw an increase of orders by the factor of 16
\ncompared to an average day in 2017 on Black Friday, 24 November. This was a record for Zando
\nBlack Friday sales, which tumble year on year. To provide some context on the scale, Zando claims
\nto have sold 80 items a minute during Black Friday, with 5 times more people visiting the website and
\napp combined \u2500 reaching over 22 million South Africans with marketing material of some form.
\nLogistically, an order was dispatched every 4 seconds, staggeringly. As a visual representation, if
\nthey were to stack up all of the parcels and boxes that were sent out on that day alone, it would scale
\nto be 25 times higher than Table Mountain.<\/p>\n

What can be expected this Black Friday<\/a> on Zando?<\/p>\n

Zando is going all out and offering up to 90% off on Black Friday. With over 200,000 items onsite,
\nincluding fashion, shoes, sportswear, beauty and homeware, Zando is selling everything! Look out for

\ndiscounted at up to 60% off. With so many more great deals expected, Zando\u2019s Head of Mobile,
\nGraham du Plessis, has some tips on the best strategy to avoid missing out:<\/p>\n

\u201cMake sure you download the app<\/a> and keep your device close on-hand. We have some great deals
\nplanned and we really enjoy mixing it up every day. Plus, we have some exciting offers that are
\naccessible only via the app, so, once the deal goes live, it\u2019s almost a case of quickest finger wins!\u201d
\nGraham goes on to add that \u201cEnsuring you have a profile with Zando is key to saving time. Make sure
\nthat all of your payment and delivery details are correctly entered and another hot tip is stay logged
\nin\u2500 trust me, you\u2019d hate to lose that awesome pair of adidas sneakers by wasting time on having to
\nlogin first.\u201d He also suggests that getting your Wishlist primed for action by adding your favourite items
\nearlier on allows you to have quick access to add to cart when the sale goes live.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, wake up early. Zando claims to have surpassed their daily average orders for the
\nyear of 2017 by 2am on the morning of Black Friday, and by 7am they had achieved more orders than
\nthe next highest day that year.<\/p>\n
