Online retail store, Jumia has just announced its online marketplace platform for SMEs. SMEs can now leverage the retail platform to expand their reach to Jumia’s over 100k visitor-a-day audience.
The Jumia Marketplace is not targeted only at businesses, but also individual looking to make extra cash on the side. Getting on the marketplace will improve their visibility many fold.
The Jumia Marketplace is obviously in direct competition with the similarly named, Konga Marketplace, which Konga launched over 5 months ago in February. Intending merchants can sign up to the Jumia Marketplace for free and only have to pay commissions for merchandise sold.
