HiFi Corp is a brand of JD Consumer Electronics and Appliances trading under the registration number 1963/002315/07. After 22 years as the leading budget-beater in audio and visual products in South Africa, Hi-Fi Corporation has been rebranded and strategically repositioned as HiFi Corp, SA’s one-stop shop for electronic and electrical products.

The company was founded in 1993 on the premise of bringing the lowest possible prices to consumers. Almost two decades down the line, and with the title of biggest audio and visual warehouse in Africa and the Southern Hemisphere to its credit, HiFi Corp has cemented its position as the market leader in its field, offering the widest product range and highly competitive prices. It’s off the back of this that the company has strategically positioned itself offering best prices, thereby saving the consumer money.

It aims to be SA’s one-stop shop for electronic and electrical goods with the widest range of products available at everyday low prices, complemented by knowledgeable staff that can help customers make informed purchasing decisions. Simply, it is tech shopping made easy.

The company has updated its identity in line with this new positioning. This has included a new store design, that makes shopping at HiFi Corp a great experience and also shortening the name HiFi Corporation to HiFi Corp, evolving the existing logo to mirror the new focus, and adopting a new brand promise.

Hi-Fi Corporation was most commonly referred to by customers and staff as Hi-Fi Corp, so it made sense to shorten the name, which also more accurately reflects the down-to-earth and approachable brand that it is. This sentiment is also carried through to the new logo, which is progressive yet approachable at the same time. The logo simply evolved the identity to ensure it could live in a high-street brand environment.

HiFi Corp developed a new brand promise – “Why shop anywhere else” – which demonstrates our commitment to talk to customers in a language they understand, remain relevant and up-to-date, and instill a sense of confidence in customers. “Why shop anywhere else” means we truly understand our customers’ needs and truly understand our products, value for money and offer an excellent service; with this in mind, we ask the question “Why shop anywhere else?”

All HiFi Corp stores will eventually reflect the rebrand, with a new instore look and feel supporting the new positioning. To this end stores will offer an easily navigable, uncluttered experience, with informative point of sale material and knowledgeable staff contributing towards empowering customers.  The first new-look store was unveiled, Centurion HiFi Corp, which opened its doors on 26 August 2011.
