The Result

Techsys Digital designed a shoppable Black Friday TikTok filter which reveals Takealot's best Blue Dot sale items, wrapped in blue and white wrapping. When the user holds up their hand, the flicking stops to unwrap an item and reveal an awesome Black Friday deal. Ten to fifteen deals will be showcased each day, allowing customers to unwrap their deal and then click through to shop them!
