The Checkers Sixty60 delivery your little one always wanted
Inspired by its many young customers that emulate Sixty60 delivery drivers, Checkers has just launched a brand new Sixty60 ride-on bike complete with the familiar teal delivery box that opens and closes. Locally made in Cape Town, the bikes, that are suitable for children aged 3-10 years, feature customisable number plates and retail for only R399 in selected Checkers supermarkets. “Customers have shared so many heartwarming photos of their kids using plastic ride-on scooters as Sixty60 delivery bikes,” said Neil Schreuder, Chief Strategy Officer for the Shoprite Group. “This appreciation for our Sixty60 delivery drivers who work tirelessly to make sure orders are delivered safely and on time, inspired the rollout of what is sure to become a classic toy.” Checkers has also re-released its Sixty60 1:12 scale-model toy motorbike, and this year there is an accompanying toy delivery driver for the first time. These are available on the Sixty60 app and in selected Checkers supermarkets, retailing for only R99 and R49, respectively, while stock lasts.

Inspired by its little customers, Checkers launches limited edition Sixty60 toy bikes
Limited edition Sixty60 toy delivery motorbikes will soon be for sale on the app and in selected Checkers supermarkets across South Africa. The 1:12 scale-model motorbike features Sixty60’s well-known delivery box, which opens and closes, a kickstand and a miniature of the iconic grocery bag used in deliveries. Designed for children to play with, the toy motorbike will certainly also look the part alongside other collectables on customers’ bookshelves or in home offices. The initial idea for the model bike came during South Africa's Covid-19 lockdowns when the arrival of a Sixty60 driver was a rare treat and glimpse into the outside world for many families in isolation around the country.? “Customers have shared wonderful photos of their kids using plastic ride-on scooters as Sixty60 delivery bikes, often with the addition of a homemade branded delivery box on the back. It is this appreciation for Sixty60 which inspired the collectible toy,” explains Andy Ridge, Head of Digital Commerce at ShopriteX. The initial limited run of model Sixty60 motorbikes will be available on the Sixty60 app and in selected Checkers supermarkets in coming weeks, and will retail for only R100, while stock lasts.

Computicket ‘Box Office’ self-service platform democratises SA ticketing services
South Africa's leading ticketing platform Computicket has launched an innovative new offering called ‘Box Office’ to make its service more accessible and affordable to organisers of smaller events. Ticketing services have traditionally been limited to large event organisers who can afford a comprehensive offering. To solve this challenge, Computicket created Box Office: a new self-service platform that offers organisers the full benefit of its distribution platform, which includes selling tickets online and/or at the Money Market counters in Shoprite, Checkers and Usave supermarkets nationally – an option not commonly available for smaller events. Since its soft launch earlier in 2022, Computicket Box Office has sold more than 130 000 tickets, of which the majority has been sold in stores. This new service democratises event organisation and ticket sales in South Africa, explains Kurt Drennan, GM of Computicket. “The volume of tickets sold in Shoprite, Checkers and Usave stores demonstrates the demand for greater accessibility, which we offer via our extensive store footprint. With the ability to choose between online-only or online alongside offline sales and doing so in a self-service manner, we’re enabling organisers of smaller events to tap into the ticketing technology that sets Computicket apart.” “The turnaround time to load events is key. If I need to load my event within the next ten minutes, then I’m able to do that myself. This is especially useful for event companies just starting out and that don’t have existing relationships with ticketing systems - it’s marvelous to be able to load events so quickly and easily,” says Sindi Mnguni, a comedy show organiser. The feature-rich Computicket Box Office platform also enables organisers to issue complimentary tickets and discount codes, and organisers of free events can make use of its services at no cost.
