Entrepreneur providing cheaper power sources for when Eskom pulls the plug

Mervyn Naidoo – 6h ago

LOAD shedding gets many South Africans going ÔÇ£eishÔÇØ and cussing at power utility Eskom, which would have happened with greater frequency this week after parts of the country experienced stage six power cuts.

But a former Durban woman, together with her team of ÔÇ£litÔÇØ experts, have produced affordable alternate energy solutions to provide some relief in the dark hours.

Nafisa Fareed is the chief executive and driving force behind Power4Less, a Johannesburg-based company that specialises in providing electric utilities.

Power4Less specialises in custom-made lighting solutions and has also made strides with their other energy-efficient products, including an ÔÇ£always hotÔÇØ geyser that significantly reduces electricity bills, and is due for release later this year.

Fareed said her company, which was started in 2008, entered the alternate energy market because ÔÇ£it needed competitionÔÇØ, and — together with her team — they intend to ÔÇ£disrupt a space that was previously for the elite onlyÔÇØ.

ÔÇ£There are always categories in a market that caters for a specific LSM, but power is a necessity for everyone, including RDP homes and shacks.

ÔÇ£Therefore, it cannot be a market specific to affordability only,ÔÇØ she said.

Like all switched-on entrepreneurs, Fareed said she and her team realised in advance that load shedding was going to become a reality in South Africa.

ÔÇ£Our power stations were old and there was no downtime for repairs.ÔÇØ

Another tell-tale sign for her was that the need for electricity had grown astronomically.

ÔÇ£The LSM barriers in many areas had shifted. Before, only certain groups could afford luxury items like air conditioners. Not any more. The lack of planning resulted in no steps being taken to service the growing need for electricity.ÔÇØ

Fareed said previously stage 4, 5, and 6 of load shedding were foreign; nowadays, blackouts have become a reality.

Bearing in mind the countryÔÇÖs energy needs, Fareed and her crew, comprising electrical engineers, technicians and other specialists, worked towards providing reliable alternative energy solutions.

Their products are currently being sold at some of the countryÔÇÖs leading hardware and supermarket chain stores.

Included in Power4LessÔÇÖs range of creations was their version of the twirly compact fluorescent lamps (CFL), which burns brighter and uses 15 watts of power as opposed to the norm of up to 100 watts.

Power4Less has patented a LSP lightbulb that contains a charger and stores power while connected to the grid, but once load shedding kicks in, they are able to function for up to four hours using stored energy.

ÔÇ£Power in a suitcaseÔÇØ is what their ÔÇ£Mobi VaultÔÇØ product has been dubbed. This compact energy source, which can be carried or rolled in a case, is powered up using either solar energy, AC power points or a car battery charger.

Depending on an individual’s preference, Mobi Vaults can provide between 0.5 to 5 kilowatts of energy.

Fareed said the soon-to-be-launched geysers would consume R1 worth of electricity daily, whereas standard geysers consume about R45 of power a day.

ÔÇ£Elements usually blow out on geysers, but ours functions without one. Insurance companies are going to love them,ÔÇØ Fareed enthused.

Power4LessÔÇÖ products and solutions have also been endorsed by some government departments and leading corporates.

She said the company ÔÇ£changed peopleÔÇÖs lives from being in a state of frustration to relief, and we make a profit from doing thatÔÇØ.

ÔÇ£When I started in the world of self-employment, I didnÔÇÖt have criteria on what people expected an entrepreneur to be,ÔÇØ she said.

Fareed said everything she learnt was done on the ground, making mistakes.

ÔÇ£I built a business making many mistakes, and I flourished having made mistakes.ÔÇØ

Only after six years of self-employment did she feel financially stable enough to study for her MBA qualification, before achieving a masterÔÇÖs degree in finance from the University of Leicester in 2021.

Initially, she completed a diploma in food technology at the Durban University of Technology in 2004, before entering the working world.

About getting drawn to the field of electronics, Fareed said as an entrepreneur she was able to see a niche in the market.

ÔÇ£I have always been drawn to profit in value. As an entrepreneur, I find it inspiring to deliver value and be profitable, while making an impact by changing lives in a quality way.ÔÇØ

Fareed said she noticed a need in the alternative energy market, surrounded herself with leaders in the industry, and had increased her core team over the years.

While she doesnÔÇÖt have an electrical engineering qualification, Fareed has acquired various accreditations in aspects like solar, wiring and alternative energy solutions.

ÔÇ£IÔÇÖve made the effort to take courses that give me a better understanding into how everything works,ÔÇØ she said.

Understanding the Strategy of Leading Ad Platforms

Many leading advertising platforms have shifted their focus towards Digital Advertising (DA) and are offering free listings to gain market share. They understand that once your free listings don’t perform, you’re more likely to stick with their platform when you decide to start a paid ad campaign.

Unbundling the Casino-Like System

The current advertising landscape can be likened to a casino, where the supply side is dominated by a few giants. These companies have invested heavily in DA, essentially creating a monopoly on global advertising. This system forces sellers to bid against each other for visibility.

A Shift in the Ecommerce Business

Ecommerce businesses, especially those without the economies of scale of giants like Amazon and Walmart, need to adapt to survive. The key to their survival lies in finding an alternative to the current go to advertising networks as their medium to long term marketing partners. If you take the strategy of these networks and that is to increase global  advertising costs continually.

When formulating your medium to long-term marketing strategy to choose companies that have intrinsically opposite strategic goals to you is a mistake. Put it like this I would guess the average advertiser does not have as their primary strategy to increase advertising rates globally and continually until advertising costs are the most expensive in the history of our planet.

Need I say more when in my opinion the advertisers primary strategy is the complete opposite of the advertising networks!

I fear in the medium term most of the small ecommerce companies will have to merge if possible or will no longer be in business in the next 2 -10 years! Unless they work together and come up with a novel smart yet simple solution; and that includes owning their own advertising network.

BrowSearch, and Feedonomy are the world’s leading FPC (Free-Per-Click) advertising networks. BrowSearch is pronounced ‘Browse & Search’ We are 100% advertising centric.

We are 100% advertiser centric as all our shareholders are advertisers. Only advertisers can be shareholders.

The only way small and medium size ecommerce companies will survive over the next 10 years is by taking the road less traveled! That incorporates owning their own advertising networks with all strategies and management policies be put to the vote.

Product ads or shopping ads both free- paid ads are both low level presence.  Online sellers never advertise.  FPC (Free-Per-Click) is not advertising. What makes it advertising? When you see: Promoted; Advertisement; you understand and physiologically we find any type of advertising equal if not worse remember advertising is not remembered like we remember things or places. Advertising is experienced just like we feel when we are violated. According to recent trials in the USA. Advertising works like racism we tell ourselves we are above these basic basis but all it takes is a slight emotion to light the fuse and we dont go slowly down the hill but we begin at the bottom and have to justify and trougle to get back to how we want to be seen & believed. The feeling we had can be given a number the number under 10 if we divide it by 2 and we add 3 is our racist maturity.
