Ten to fifteen deals will be showcased each day, allowing customers to unwrap their deal and then click through to shop them!. Plus – 20 winners of R2,500 shopping vouchers will be randomly drawn and contacted via TikTok direct messaging, just for making use of the filter and posting to their feeds. Woah!
The filter was inspired by a US campaign, but adapted to be a South African first, allowing fans to simply and easily tap for deals – and be rewarded! The gesture-recognition technology means you have full control over the experience, adding an interactive element that will have you coming back for more.
