I’m talking a friend into importation, he gave me the list of product he can source for now, which are listed below. Please what is ur take on the product and its prospect in the Nigerian market.
- Brand new laptops or
- Tablet pc or
- Clothes
Which of the following product should one import into Nigeria and why [please highlight the market/the target populace, probable market location, the demand and percentage rate of success and if possible the model/configuration (all things been equal) etc.] Hope I'm not asking too much. I trust you for sure answers/recommendation.

Your constructive opinion is welcomed.
Thanks

Trust me i'l go for clothes because it's far easier to sell, but it all depends on you. What do you have a lair for and what really tickles your fancy because it is that which you are enthusiastic about people will buy.
So one man's food may be another man's poison.
Hope that helps.

Any product is good as long as you have the needed market. Besides, your business location plays a great role in your profit. The more money you have the more profit you will make.

Whatever you import, don't import Electric Generators. I do not see future with that product.

@Brand new - Thanks for the post but which kind of clothe do u suggest. Where can one get ready market for clothings?
@Chrisvicmall:Thanks, but you didn't answer my question. I gave a list, which do you prefer and why?
Lovely weekend!

I suggest branded clothings. The popular ones you can classify as high fashion for the Middle class and elites. Quantity depends on your capital but they can be very profitable.
I`m talking from first hand experience.
Suntan, Twice as Nice, Rough n Tumble, Bevista are all good success stories.

If you don't have a store, clothing can be very bad business. You get very tempted to sell on credit and you never get paid back in full and if at all you money would be broken in pieces.

Laptops and Tablets are good, but the big question is how do you compete with established outlets who buy in bulk and offer lower prices?

To identify what is best to import, look for items that are needed in high demand and yet have no saturation. A good example in line with the items you've mentioned, would be security systems.

Well

I greatly appreciate the response so far.
