It\u2019s the small stuff, the stuff nobody plans for. The dog food running low when there\u2019s time to get to the shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A kid&#8217;s birthday party invite that creeps up two hours before it starts, no gift in sight. Or that late weeknight when everyone is simply too tired to cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.takealot.com\/takealotmore?utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=takealotmoredays&amp;utm_adgroup=clickthrough&amp;utm_content=businesstecharticle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Enter TakealotMORE<\/strong><\/a> the Takealot Group&#8217;s one-stop membership built around exactly that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>The one thing most people don&#8217;t realise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people already know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.takealot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Takealot<\/strong><\/a> as South Africa\u2019s favourite online store, and <a href=\"https:\/\/mrd.go.link\/MOREDays-Benefits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Mr D<\/strong><\/a> for food, groceries, and delivery in minutes. But TakealotMORE? That\u2019s the answer bringing it all together: free, unlimited nationwide delivery, exclusive deals (think extra value and savings on everything from burgers to nappies) and more on both Takealot and Mr D &#8211; all just for R39 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nope, that\u2019s not a typo. For the price of just one humble takeaway coffee, South Africans can unlock the very best of what South Africa\u2019s leading e-commerce group offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then there\u2019s the Premium option at only R99 p\/m, where TakealotMORE members get a whole range of extra benefits, exclusive MORE deals curated just for members, as well as a free News24 subscription, in itself\u00a0R109 a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s some easy maths when it comes to working out the value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Your life, delivered while you live it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a fairly ordinary week. Monday, you realise the coffee machine is down to its last pod, so a Nespresso order goes in before you&#8217;ve even finished that last cup, and a refill is delivered to you at the office in under 60 minutes &#8211; for free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Wednesday, nobody has the energy to cook, so burgers arrive quickly through Mr D instead &#8211; no dishes required. Thursday, you remember there&#8217;s a kiddies birthday party the very next day (life gets busy, we know) so a gift from Toy Kingdom is on its way by the time you&#8217;ve finished making the excuse for why you forgot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday, the dog food bag is suddenly rather light. A top-up order through Absolute Pets on Mr D covers the next day or two, so nobody&#8217;s pet goes hungry over the weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bulk bag you&#8217;ll actually need for the month can go through Takealot on its own regular, which means you&#8217;re never the person hauling a 15kg bag through a parking lot and into the boot of a car. Awks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>The numbers behind it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Takealot Group&#8217;s own results for the past financial year, active membership on TakealotMORE grew 74% year-on-year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The e-commerce group has said members have collectively saved close to R700 million through discounts and delivery fee savings, and that TakealotMORE member orders now account for roughly a quarter of everything sold on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a>Getting more from what you already buy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>None of this is about buying more. If anything, it&#8217;s the opposite. It&#8217;s the coffee, the dog food, the birthday gift and the Wednesday night dinner all being slightly easier and slightly less annoying to sort out than they were before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a small thing. But it&#8217;s the kind of small thing that, once a household gets used to it, is hard to imagine going back from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not yet a member? There\u2019s an easy answer to that. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.takealot.com\/takealotmore?utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=takealotmoredays&amp;utm_adgroup=clickthrough&amp;utm_content=businesstecharticle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Start a free 1-month trial<\/strong><\/a> wherever you are in South Africa, and get the best of Takealot and Mr D delivered on repeat, for free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bringing together the best of the Takealot Group, South Africa\u2019s favourite membership programme, makes running a household easier, quicker and cheaper than ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":866391,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"posted","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"2077627544921158044","_sma_x_attempts":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10459],"tags":[3314,22833],"class_list":["post-866390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industry-news","tag-takealot","tag-takealotmore"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/866390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/57"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=866390"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/866390\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":866443,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/866390\/revisions\/866443"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/866391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=866390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=866390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=866390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
