Nigeria no doubt is becoming more and more advanced in technology as well as in business venture. The internet revolution has swept not just the world, but Nigeria business and as such, paved way for the emergence of e-commerce which has grown right along with it.
The success of companies like E-Bay and Amazon has proven the point that the Internet can be and is an important and effective tool for business.
Well, for the avoidance of doubt E-Commerce, in this article, is simply the buying and selling of products or services over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks.
Most Nigerians acquainted with technology will be able to easily describe the benefits e-commerce can bring us. For example, all Nigerians know how popular our sculptures, beads, paintings and cloth are to the foreigners who visit us. E-commerce can provide some significant help to our artisans and artists by allowing them to set up online stores showcasing their wares. This will enable our talented artists to take advantage of larger international markets to showcase and sell their wares. It’s sad to see our talented artisans’ abilities going to waste on roadsides waiting for the random foreigner when they can access a worldwide market with the click of a mouse.
E-Commerce in Nigeria would not only be beneficial for external trade but internally as well. E-Commerce would be a quick and easy way to connect producers and suppliers all over the country such as in other cities in the country with consumers in the comfort of their homes.
Good to note is that we already have Ecommerce in Nigeria. But, there are various brands who are into this business and they offer similar products. But for truth to be told, all of them.
factors that makes a good ecommerce system
1. Shipping. No E-Commerce system can succeed without a trusted and reliable shipping service. People won’t be bothered to buy online if they cannot be assured that it will be delivered exactly to their homes on time. The problems here arise from both the public and private sector. The government needs to improve our road infrastructure and labeling to allow directions to any place to be quickly and clearly given and utilized. The private sector as well must be encouraged to set up direct shipping and courier services which will underpin e-commerce services.
2. Payments. One of the main barriers to the implementation of E-Commerce in Nigeria is safe and secure online payments system. The rise of financial malpractices have created a lot of mistrust in fellow Nigerians as well as in the international community of online payments originating from West Africa (as our credit card blacklisting attests to).
What’s been said here is certainly not all that can be said about E-Commerce, but it’s hoped that it has enlightened us about Ecommerce.
Talking of Nigeria Ecommerce, from my experience with about 80 percent of all the online retailers, the best platform one can trade in is Vconnect Nigeria. Why? Because Vconnect meets up with those challenges that makes Ecommerce seem impossible. Let me tell you how.
Vconnect is a Nigerian indigenous service company offering various unique services to Nigerians. Recently, it has extended its business trough to Ecommerce circle. What makes them uniquely significant is their distinction from what other merchants are doing in this venture. How?
They have a well tailored designed website which is cross platform responsive. Meaning that whichever and whatevery device you are visiting their site with, you will always enjoy the experience.
They have virtually almost everything you need for your home or office or for personal use. Why goto the malls to stand in qeues when you can actually buy that item online, pay outrightly or when delivered and it will be delivered to your doorstep? Truly, it's a unique mechanism which only Vconnect provides.
Vconnect is not just about making money by selling their products, they also have a platform for eveybody to participate and make money as well through their Affiliate Program. It's just a whole simple methodology. If you have a blog or website, just apply for the affiliate program and you will be approved instantly upon confirming your email. Place their ads on your website and allow your visitors to buy through those ads. Each sales you made on your website leaves a commission for you. Atleast, I make money regularly from them. As they have beautifully designed banners, it makes your site look beautiful and professional and as well, fetch you money.
I am urging all and sundry to welcome this trend of development in our populace. Ecommerce has come to stay and should be given the maximum attention it needs. Shopping at the right merchant store is one thing we shouldn't forget. If we must shop online, go for the best and that is Vconnect.
Think Nigeria Ecommerce, Think Vconnect.
