Ohlthaver & List (O&L) on Monday officially launched DotDune, an online portal intended to champion local businesses and brands by offering them a reliable platform to conveniently sell their products online, whilst giving consumers an online marketplace that delivers their purchases straight to their doors.

O&L Group Manager for Corporate Communications, Roux-che Locke said the brand’s name and visual identity sets the platform apart from other dot-coms by channelling the unique Namibian landscape in the design of DotDune’s shopping landscape.

“The brand’s visual terrain took inspiration, in part, from the moving masses of particles which shape the shifting contours of our characteristic dunes, but also from the fluidity and momentum of other natural elements and the brand’s technical territory innovation,” she said.

She noted that Namibians can begin their DotDune shopping experience by accessing the website at DotDune.na or signing up on the DotDune app, which can be downloaded for free on Google Play and the Apple App Store.

“After browsing and taking their selected goods to checkout, shoppers can securely pay for their purchases via PayToday, bank transfer or Virtual Card Services (VCS). Shoppers can also enjoy a 5 per cent discount off their first purchase on the site,” she said.

Locke further noted that for registered sellers who do not use their own verified delivery systems, DotDune has partnered with EBikes4Africa to offer consumers a reliable and eco-friendly delivery option in Windhoek, with same-day delivery on orders placed before 13h00. Deliveries outside of Windhoek will be covered by other local delivery suppliers.

“We can take Namibia and O&L to new heights and participate in the global economy by embracing technology. Not only will this innovation create new jobs and business opportunities, but it will also resonate with our people, including our loyal O&L consumers who believe in us and trust us to continuously innovate and meet their expectations.
