Pick n Pay eases back-to-school pressures
The retailer will refund up to R600 000 worth of stationery purchased at QualiSave stores onto customers' loyalty cards.
Pick n Pay will help ease the financial burden on struggling families by contributing R1.1-million towards school fees and Back to School stationery items.
The retailer is stepping forward to support families, recognising many parents’ financial strains, particularly after a tough year and the traditionally challenging month of ‘JanuWorry.’
“We are committed to making a meaningful impact on the lives of our customers in 2024, acknowledging the many challenges the past year has presented.
“Through this initiative, we are providing customers with relief on the obligatory Back to School costs many are faced with this month,” said Pick n Pay’s chief marketing officer, Andrew Mills. .
Through its Smart Shopper programme, the retailer will refund up to R600 000 worth of stationery purchased at QualiSave stores onto customers’ loyalty cards and reward up to 10 customers with R50 000 each towards school fees.
The Pick n Pay School Club will also ensure about two million learners are given access to additional physical education materials through its annual delivery of CAPS-aligned, grade-specific educational content to more than 2 600 schools. This content is also made available online (https://schoolclub.co.za/resources/) for free download.
The club will further donate 34 000 pencil bags to Grade 4 learners and do stationery giveaways with partners.
“By investing in education, Pick n Pay is investing in the future of the beautiful people of South Africa,” said Mills.
To qualify to win, Pick n Pay QualiSave customers must buy five or more advertised Back to School stationery items, and Pick n Pay customers must spend more than R250 on Back to School items advertised in the respective leaflets before January 28. Customers will also be rewarded with spot prizes, including Ster Kinekor tickets, Spur vouchers and Lego sets during January.
In addition, orders placed on Mr D and Pick n Pay asap! with a linked Smart Shopper card will qualify for the Pick n Pay school fee competition.
