6 key benefits of offering your customers an online shop

6 key benefits of offering and online shop to your customers

In March Jumia filed for a $100m IPO on the New York Stock Exchange and became the first African tech startup to list on a major global exchange. It’s becoming quite clear that Ecommerce is defining the direction in which the world, Africa and Zambia are going. How can your business tap into the Ecommerce opportunity?

The first step to take towards ecommerce is to offer your customers an online shop that enables your customers to browse your range online, and have easy access to information about your products and services. This step will transform your customers’ shopping experience by placing your products in their hands without them having to physically visit you.

Think about it from your customer’s perspective:

1. Imagine not having to guess if you sell a particular type or brand of product
2. Imagine not having to email, phone or visit about prices
3. Imagine not having to wait in traffic
4. Imagine not having to work around your store opening times
5. Imagine not having to squeeze shopping into a short lunch break
6. Imagine viewing what you offer, comparing products and making purchasing decisions from the comfort and convenience of their phone or laptop

What’s stopping you from making it easier for your customers to buy from you? What’s stopping you from capitalising on this innovative route to market? Is it the lack of time, financial resource or the right skillset in your team?
