The launch of e-commerce in Nigeria heralded a period of unprecedented growth and development for several businesses, and introduced customers to unlimited choice and the ease of access to shop online anytime, anywhere.
That apparently was just the beginning, as Konga.com, Nigeria’s online megastore and one of the pioneers of Online Retail in Nigeria is set to put more smiles on the faces of Nigerian shoppers with the launch of its revolutionary new SMS2ORDER platform.
This platform will enable shoppers to send SMS messages with product codes of items they desire purchasing to a SMS short code operated by Konga.com.
Thereafter, a customer service consultant will call the customer; setup an account if the customer is new, process the order for the customer and schedule delivery. Payment on delivery will be made available to these customers.
Konga.comhas whole range of products ranging from clothing, phones, computers; watches to beauty products, books, groceries and household appliances, and Nigerians will have access to this products anytime, anywhere.
This platform will not only cater to Nigerians that have limited or no access to the Internet, but to those that are not entirely comfortable or capable of using PCs and Internet-abled devices.
This way, every Nigerian will have access to the amazingly low prices and variety that Konga.com has to offer.
The platform is being launched this Friday in partnership with Guardian Newspapers in a special spread called “Guardian Deals & Discounts”, and will feature deals and discounts that can be found exclusively on Konga.com.
The column is scheduled to make its debut on Friday 26th of April with several amazing deals and discounts for Nigerians to enjoy.
How does it work?
Konga “SMS2ORDER” is easy to use.
1. Simply send an SMS in the following format;KONGA (SPACE) ITEM NUMBER TO 20050
2. For multiple items, you can include all item numbers in the same text, using a space to separate items (e.g. ‘Konga B0001 B0002 B0003’). Also, there is no additional cost for extra items purchased
3. A customer service consultant will contact you to confirm your order.
So to buy ChimamandaAdichie’s latest book “Americanah” with an item number of 1351 on konga.com, simply send; KONGA1351 TO 20050, and a customer service consultant will contact you to confirm the order.
