Welcome to our April newsletter. Find out how last month’s CRM campaigns performed and how Rebecca our new Admin Assistant is settling into our team.
If you’re currently generating South African revenues, we have an important update on the VAT changes we told you about in March. Please read on for more info…
MARCH COMMS CAMPAIGNS
After a busy February, our Mother’s Day offer saw some fantastic results last month, bringing in a similar level of revenue to our successful Valentine’s Day campaigns.
We also jumped on the ‘selfie’ bandwagon, asking members to upload selfies to your sites. The tongue-in-cheek campaign significantly boosted photo uploads and site engagement.
REBECCA’S FIRST IMPRESSIONS
For those of you who may not have spoken to Rebecca yet, she joined the Partner team just over three months ago as anAdmin Assistant. Rebecca said of her time in the team so far:
“The Partner team have been so welcoming; I’ve never worked with a team that has such a healthy blend of personality and focus. Every day is different; it really keeps me on my toes!”

CHANGES TO SOUTH AFRICAN VAT
On the 21st March, we sent you information about a Bill due to be passed by the South African government, called the “Electronic Services Regulation”.
You may remember that this Bill will see a new requirement for VAT to be charged on the majority of online services from businesses operating outside of South Africa.
Previously, VAT was not chargeable on these services for countries operating overseas.
The Bill has now been passed. As a result, we will begin to charge 14% VAT on all ZAR sales from 1st June.That means that you can expect South African revenue to reduce by 14% from 1st June onwards.
