Online store, Kpakpakpamarket.com is taking Ghana’s online shopping sector by storm as its beat major competitors to win the emerging e-commerce of the year award at the just-ended 6th Ghana Information Technology and Telecom Awards (GITTA).
The Ghana Information Technology and Telecom Awards, which took place in Accra on Saturday 21 May is said to be Ghana’s premier platform for celebrating top ICT and telecom performers within the industry.
Commenting on the award, promoters of the www.kpakpakpamarket.com said in a statement that they were poised to lead the charge of the country’s discounters as cash-strapped shoppers become more price conscious about what they buy.
The platform offers companies, retailers, merchants and small scale traders an e-market platform to advertise and sell products in the most convenient hustle free environment via the internet, according to the statement.
“Kpakpakpamarket.com, which retails both new and old items as well as as-it-is ones, is the first platform that now allows consumers to bid for items and when offer is accepted, the product is delivered directly to the consumer before payment is made”, it stated.
The portal works on the click and brick model with the products being ordered online, and Kpakpakpamarket’s partners – its dealers, distributors, and logistics teams helping in delivery.
“This is our drive. By passing on the discounts we agree on with our registered suppliers/merchants unto our buyers, we encourage bulk or wholesale purchases, thus creating a win-win-environment for the buyer and the seller. By this approach we are able to also assure our buyers of genuine products and eliminating fraud,” a statement from the company said.
It noted that by adding discounted inventory to its growing database of heavily discounted products, a seller can be assured of traffic to the products.
“Do not miss out on this great opportunity to advertise and sell products. Join this high speed marketing train to sell your goods and services. Listing is Free. All you need to do to list your products on kpakpakpamarket.com.”
Taking its name after the famous kpakpakpa slogan, the latest multi brand online marketing platform joins more than a dozen online stores in operation in the country with many consumers and experts tipping Kpakpakpamarket.com to take over the e-commerce sector.
Online trading in Ghana is still at a nascent stage, yet has huge development potential as the government’s policy support has further whetted the interest of prospective investors.
Also, the young middle class in the West Africa’s second largest economy as well as businesses are taking the step towards online retail thereby increasing demand for online goods.
