During the 126-year history of Bata, there have been many challenges and our experience in the face of adversity will guide us through the uncertainties that have been brought about by the, Cornavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
It is now evident that COVID-19 will dramatically impact the way we live our lives over the coming months and most brick and mortar retailers are likely to see a drop in sales as shoppers choose to stay at home.
Bata is able to offer South Africans an opportunity to shop from the comfort of their homes without worrying about crowded malls and shops. In a bid to “flatten the curve” Bata South Africa have a selection of much-loved brands available to shop via various online platforms. According to the website Tech Financials, global online giants such as Amazon and local company Takealot are seeing increased online shopping due to COVID-19.
