With the number of unique customers purchasing at Zando growing month on month, and the website seeing 200 000 unique visitors a month, Zando is fast establishing its position as one of the leading ecommerce players in South Africa.

“While retail growth in South Africa is currently around 6%, online retail growth is more in the region of 30%. It is my unwavering belief that the South African market has only begun to scratch the surface of the potential for ecommerce in South Africa,” says Manuel Koser, co-founder and MD of Zando.

Zando’s brand offering is expanding and diversifying, having offered 20 local brands at launch to now offering over 300 local and international brands with 8000 styles.

“The radical increase in our offering is testament to the growth that we are experiencing and has been a direct result of listening to what our customers want. The denim category has consistently been a high performing category for Zando with dresses following closely behind,” says Peter Allerstorfer co-founder and MD of Zando.

In support to the growth of Zando’s business, investing in human capital is a key focus for the business. "Identifying and retaining talent is vital to the success of our business," says Allerstorfer. "We are encouraged by the success we have experienced in the South African market thus far. This growth has exceeded our expectations and we look forward to the same success and more in the next six months."
