To be the Engine of Commerce and Trade in Africa (Konga.com Vision statement)
Today marks a turning
point for Nigerian businesses- roadside, small, medium and Large, as Konga.com,
Nigeria’s Largest Online Mall announces the opening up of its trading platform
for all Nigerians to sell online.
Konga which only last
year announced the launch of Konga Mall, a revolutionary offering which gave
select Nigerian businesses the opportunity to put their products online is
finally opening up this opportunity for all classes of businesses in Nigeria.
To be a part of this
revolution and receive valuable information, everyone can simply visit
http://konga.com/sell to pre-register. Regular information on how to maximise
the opportunity, processing and validation will be done on the Konga platform
in the weeks leading up to the big launch.
This new offering
which will be launching in the coming weeks will cater to the needs of not only
big wholesalers/ retailers, but even the road side/ market traders in Surulere,
Alaba, Aba, Onitsha, Kaduna, as well as enterprising individuals across the
country with amazing products but no hope of expansion or scaling.
This marketplace will
revolutionise the way buyers and sellers interact, with a model that is more
convenient for the seller and more attractive to the buyer. It will create
unlimited opportunity for the Nigerian entrepreneur, small business owner or
even large business owner; it will serve as the great equaliser/nation builder,
boosting employment, trade and powering economic growth and development in
Nigeria.
Konga has already
changed the rules of participating in e-commerce in Nigeria through several
novel offerings to customers, major investments in infrastructure and
widespread education on the merits and convenience of online retail. Now Konga
is building a marketplace that will exponentially drive the adoption of
e-commerce in the country through unrestricted yet structured participation, as
well as novel platform security measures and guarantees that ensure buyer and
seller are protected and rewarded for participating.
Maxitech, a computer and
electronics dealer based in Lagos who has benefited from the earlier launched
Konga Mall had this to say;
“I have been selling
computers for a number of years now in Lagos and to customers in neighboring
cities, but i must admit that what Konga.com has been able to do for my
business is increase my sales portfolio not only locally but nationwide
E-commerce in Nigeria
is definitely the future and i am happy that Konga is not only growing at a
tremendous pace but is also helping Nigerian Businesses grow as well”
Sim Shagaya, CEO of
Konga.com had this to say about the new platform;
“About a year ago, we
realised that for our services to be really valuable to society, we had to
build a platform for anyone, not just Konga, to sell and prosper. We launched
this platform to a limited number of sellers and in that time, we have learned
how to build a truly revolutionary Nigerian online marketplace.
Today we are pleased
to invite all Nigerian businesses - great or small, designer or farmer,
producer or trader, sole proprietorship or limited liability, - to sign up to this new platform - Konga
Marketplace.
We will be opening up
in the next few weeks and we think you will be pleasantly surprised by what we
have built”
The internet is
changing retail around the world, and the winners will be those that embrace
the internet revolution. Konga.com will
provide the tools, awareness and security for entrepreneurs and businesses
across Nigeria who want to benefit from the immense benefits of expanding their
businesses online.
