Nashua Mobile<\/a>, a wholly-owned subsidiary of JSE-listed Reunert<\/a>,\u00a0has launched a new e-commerce website which will enable customers to handpick the latest mobile devices, gadgets and accessories and have them\u00a0delivered anywhere in South Africa free of charge.<\/p>\n

According to Nashua Mobile, the\u00a0online shop offers the newest smartphones, tablets, and notebooks, as well as a full selection of accessories to enhance, personalise and protect them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith online retail in South Africa growing 43% to R3.3-billion in 2012 (World Wide Worx<\/a>), now is the perfect time for us to launch an e-commerce site,\u201d said Nashua Mobile CEO Mark Taylor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have invested in the logistics and customer support systems that ensure that consumers will have a great experience when they order online from us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nashua Mobile\u2019s Online Shop is powered by Digital Planet, a player in end-to-end e-commerce solutions including e-commerce website and management, fulfillment and call centre services.<\/p>\n

The store adds to Nashua Mobile’s compliment of 150 retail stores countrywide.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview with BusinessTech, Taylor said: \u201cWe have aggressive plans to roll out much more retail distribution. Just in the last year, our retail sales are up 40% year on year. That\u2019s been our focus, to get the stores and the service right.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve gone bold, ultra-modern look and feel to our stores. It\u2019s paying dividends,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have 150 (retail stores) at the moment, we approved another five last week. We will probably be in another 50 malls in the next two years, and then we are also looking at partners in the retail space,\u201d the chief executive said.<\/p>\n
