Market Research has highlighted that 29 branches of the largest retail brands in Zimbabwe closed down in 2024. These branches were either OK, TM, Choppies,FoodWorld or NRichards franchises. Industry specialists concluded that these brands have been left vulnerable and exposed to direct competition from tuckshops, mobile shops and street vendors.

OK Holdings as the Chairperson of the Retailers Association of Zimbabwe wrote a letter to the Reserve bank of Zimbabwe and the Ministry of Economic Development and Finance to present a consensus among retailers that the currency volatility and the lack of protection from roadside retailers and Downtown Tuckshop is forcing them to close down business.
The interesting fact is that these roadside retailers and tuckshops are increasing their dominance and presence especially in and around CBDs!

One may say these large retailers enjoyed monopoly for long and were ripping of consumers so that opened room for roadside retailers with convenient and affordable goods.
However, one need to appreciate how these retailers operate. Are they fully compliant to municipalities bylaws? Do they comply with registrations and Consumer Safety laws?

So the broad question becomes, are roadside and tuckshop retailers the future of Zimbabwe’s retail’s industry? Is this model scalable and sustainable for the growth of the industry. Can they be regularized so that they contribute meaningfully to the national fiscas?

- **Currency Fluctuations**: Rapid changes in currency value can impact pricing strategies. 💱. A dollar value has lost value by at least 36% in the Zimbabwean market
- **Supply Chain Issues**: Disruptions often lead to product shortages. 🚚. Too many roadblocks, corruption, poor road networks, all these directly increase the cost of managing the supply and distribution chain
- **High Inflation Rates**: Rising costs affect consumer purchasing power. 💸
- **Limited Market Access**: Barriers restrict opportunities for growth. 🚪.
- **Import Restrictions**: Regulations can hinder availability of essential goods. 📦. Its very expensive to buy local and quality and consistent issues become an area of concern when it comes to local suppliers and producers

Take a close look at this picture!
Do you notice how crowded the dashboard elements are? That's exactly how the social media space is right now. This illustrates why it is like taking a walk in the jungle if a business owner tries to navigate the online or social media marketing space without a social media audit.

The space is crowded that you can easily waste resources, running useless ads and doing all sorts of influencer marketing but the result will not justify the cost associated with the campaign. What you need is a strategy to standout in such a crowded space. That's where we come in. Focus on what you do best, that is running your business and let us navigate the social media jungle for you.

Salesand Marketing Campaigns are investments, before dedicating your time and resources, ask your marketing team thesequestions! ♥️
1. Is this campaign or ad optimized for conversion or awareness?
2. Is our target market "warm enough" to purchase or use our product
3. What value proposition have we packaged in the ad?
4. What is the cost per click or the cost-per-purchase?

Dear business owners, never dedicate resources to running ads when one of these questions is unclear and unanswered.
