ROSSLYN, SOUTH AFRICA (August 27, 2018) “Flowers always make people better, happier and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul,” said American horticulturalist, Luther Burbank. Most of us agree with this statement because at some point, we’ve all used flower power to cheer someone up, or to make amends, or to make a declaration of some sort.

Datsun has been helping NetFlorist spread smiles for hundreds of kilometres every day since 2016 with a fleet of 60 vehicles transporting love, happiness and good cheer to thousands of people across the country.

As South Africa’s leading online florist and flower delivery site, NetFlorist sends flowers, floral arrangements and gifts all over the country. “Partnering with Datsun has been a godsend. Fuel efficient, practical, spacious and affordable, the Datsun GO makes for the perfect, reliable, budget-friendly vehicle,” said Ryan Bacher, NetFlorist managing director.

Datsun’s vehicles have proven to be quite popular with business owners looking for economical cars they can count on as the servicing costs are exceptional. In 2017, the annual Kinsey Report found for the third year in a row that the Datsun GO was South Africa’s most affordable car. The Kinsey Report is regarded as the most comprehensive survey of motoring costs and covers vehicles available locally.

Under the category of City Cars — entry level cars for first time buyers — the Datsun GO was named the best overall in the service, repair and crash parts sections respectively. The affordability of parts together with class-leading fuel consumption makes the total cost of ownership of the GO one of the best in South Africa. The Datsun GO is also a great option for entrepreneurs as it comes with 1-year insurance and an optional service plan.

“I love that my Datsun GO delivery vehicle is a zippy, little car, said NetFlorist delivery agent, Ed Gordon. “I can fit into any parking space and when I’m on the open road, it feels very energetic. People are always so happy to receive flowers and gifts. It’s nice to brighten up their day and it’s also nice to drive the Datsun GO because it brightens up my day too.”

“Datsun is happy to support all types of businesses, from entrepreneurs who weren’t able to afford a car previously to more established businesses such as NetFlorist, which require hard-working fleets they can rely on. Whatever the requirement, Datsun is up to the task,” said Kabelo Rabotho, Nissan South Africa Marketing Director.
