South Africans were ecstatic this past weekend, after many hard months of economic uncertainty, with the announcement from the president and the easing of lockdown restrictions to level 2.
One of the key areas, apart from the sale of alcohol and tobacco was the ability for interprovincial movement and travel.
This is massively impactful for both businesses who were unable to transport certain goods and family members who were unable to travel across the country for many months.
So how did this announcement effect ecommerce?
In the days preceding Saturday’s address there was a significant spike in sales across many online items, including a noticeable 65% increase in automotive products sold online, including spare parts, breakdown & safety products as well as DIY cleaning items.
This is a clear indicator that many people are ready to get back on the roads, weather it be for business , to travel to another province and finally see a loved one or just to jump in our vehicles and get away for a weekend and into a new and fresh setting.
Whatever the reason may be, online purchasing this week has clearly shown many households and businesses are getting their vehicles ready to travel longer distances and in turn safely prepare their motor vehicles for is what sure to be more treacherous and dangerous roads.
