LekkeSlaap.co.za, South Africa’s first and only Afrikaans online accommodation booking site, has passed the 50, 000 LIKE mark on Facebook in less than six months since its launch in March.
The eCommerce website has quickly proved to be a game changer in the South African online accommodation booking arena currently processing thousands of booking requests every month. “œWe are so proud, not only to have received so many likes from our Afrikaans following, but also to be able to show conclusively that Afrikaans should claim a proud place on the internet“, says LekkeSlaap’s Marketing Manager Denise Neethling.
Neethling continues by saying “œwe knew we were onto something special when our first booking came in just hours after launch, but our growth since then has astounded even ourselves. As our growth on Facebook demonstrates, the Afrikaans community is desperate to do business in their own language.“
LekkeSlaap’s success does not only come from the fact that it services the under-catered Afrikaans community online, but also because of an emphasis on friendly, fast, and convenient service, inherited from its sister website TravelGround.com, winner of Best Design, Standards and Ease of Use at the 2012 eCommerce Awards.
With 50, 000 likes now in the rear view mirror, the staff at LekkeSlaap.co.za look forward to a bumper 2013 Summer-holiday season.
