E-Commerce is increasingly gaining momentum with great potential to expand markets, productivity and competitiveness.
Kenya’s competitive edge is Agriculture, Manufacturing, Tourism (Tours & Travels), Arts and Handicrafts, Hotels and Restaurants and Shipping sectors.
There are indicators that e-Commerce would pick up very fast in the country as there is increased awareness. There is an increase in internet connectivity and internet users every day.
E-commerce has been a preserve of the big players. While online shopping has become the easiest way of shopping, Kilimall has entered Kenya this market with a difference.
Whereas other multinational and local markets focus on wealthy class of customers and merchants, Kilimall is embracing both local and giant merchants, providing free online shop stores for them.
Interestingly, Kilimall is focusing on uplifting local entrepreneurs, building a wealth of merchants and customers.
For smaller distributors, opening and maintaining an online shopping platform is not only expensive but fairly technical.
In Kenya, designing and hosting a professional e-commerce site is somewhere in the region of ksh.500,000. This is exclusive of the cost for serious advertising to generate the traffic to drive your site and earn insanely huge amount of money
.
Kilimall, a professional platform with a huge number of daily hits is offering to host an infinite number of products at zero fees.
How does this sound to you. Stuff from outer space, huh? Well, that’s exactly what Kilimall does. You can open a shop, upload photos from your pc or mobile phone device and track the sales on your shop. The beautiful part of this is that it’s all free of charge.
Ideal Consumer Scenario
Joan gets an email inviting her to a formal dinner tomorrow. Unfortunately, she does not have a dinner dress. She visits her electronic yellow pages, searches for dinner dress retailers, and finally finds one to her liking.
It allows her to customize the design online and the retailer promises 24-hour delivery to any location in Kenya.
Joan is then prompted to make a selection and to order from the online merchant account. The retailer receives the order and orders delivery service for pickup and delivery of the dress that same afternoon. At 8:00 the next morning, Joan arrives at her office. Within two hours, a courier messenger arrives at the office with the dress. Joan receives dinner dress in plenty of time for the evening’s formal dinner.
