Sell online in Nigeria

As the Coronavirus continues to wreak havoc around the world, governments have advised their citizens to stay at home, some have even gone as far as imposing partial and total lockdown.

These measures have affected a lot of small and big businesses, especially brick-&-mortar stores that rely on customers walking in to buy items.

However, because people will need essential items during the lockdown period, regulators in Nigeria made sure to exempt dispatch riders and businesses that offer doorstep delivery.

So, eCommerce companies, food delivery businesses, and online grocery stores with dispatch riders can still go on doing business as usual.

If you own a brick & mortar store and want to take advantage of the exemption on dispatch riders and eCommerce businesses, here are some platforms you can list your product and sell online in Nigeria.

Thousands of Nigerians are currently working from home and would need to refuel while work is going on, and might need to restock. The Jumia Food platform is home to restaurants, grocery stores, Pharmacies, and bars.

So, if you own a restaurant, a grocery store or you sell drinks, and you’ve been forced to close your physical store/shop because of the lockdown, you should list on Jumia Food.

You should, however, note that Jumia food is only available in some cities in Nigeria — Lagos, Abuja, Port-Harcourt, and Ibadan.

Other Platforms

Other platforms you should consider when you want to sell online in Nigeria include social media (Instagram, Facebook, etc), and online market places like Jiji.ng. The only problem with this is, you need to source for dispatch riders to get deliveries done.

Even if you don’t have the resources to get dispatch riders, listing online will come in handy after the lockdown is over, as you will reach more customers in your location and other cities.
