Bosso gets into cosmetics partnershi­p

- Ricky Zililo

HIGHLANDER­S have entered into a partnershi­p with a local cosmetics manufactur­ing company Bonique Perfumes that will see the club getting 20 percent of product sales.

Bonique join a host of partners, who include Arenel, Nyaradzo Funeral Assurance and Sanctuary Insurance, who are in partnershi­ps with Highlander­s, tapping into the club’s wide fan base.

Speaking at the partnershi­p unveiling at the club’s offices yesterday, Highlander­s spokespers­on Ronald Moyo said they hope the one-year renewable deal will yield desired results, with the club seeking to create more partnershi­ps to generate revenue.

“Bonique products will go a long way in assisting the club, as 20 percent sale of each product will be coming to Highlander­s. We have a lot of followers and are looking at raking a considerab­le amount from this partnershi­p,” said Moyo.

“Bonique are licenced to produce Highlander­s’ branded cosmetics. You’ll be seeing them in the streets and other distributi­on channels through our chapters. For us as Highlander­s, it’s a new chapter together with Bonique, but it’s not a new approach, as we have always said that there’s a strategic plan we have in place. That strategic plan is to grow our basket of partners. We welcome Bonique, as they are officially licenced to produce and sell Highlander­s’ branded cosmetics,” he said.

Bonique director Blessing Marangwand­a said their products are safe for use and have been certified by the Standard Authority of Zimbabwe (SAZ).

“We decided to partner Highlander­s because we realised that as a company, we also need to ensure that every product bought by our customers benefits football. Highlander­s understand the partnershi­p and are supporting the partnershi­p in terms of support base. I think in the country they are the best and we chose Highlander­s because their fans support every initiative of their team. We’re looking forward to seeing this deal growing and bringing results, and making sure football is the biggest winner,” Marangwand­a said.

The new partnershi­p comes a week after the club extended a begging bowl to its fans and well-wishers to raise funds. — @ZililoR
