WE BELIEVE WE'VE BUILT SOMETHING AWESOME FOR YOU. AS THE END USER, WE'LL LET YOU DECIDE

If you do manage to get to the end of this post explaining our ideas (which is essentially our MVP or Minimum Viable Product), you have the option of doing one of two things — click the Like text, thus declaring your allegiance to the idea, for all Nairalanders to see, or click the (much less colourful) Quote Text and tell us why you think our idea sucks, and what we can do better, if at all. (Unlike your ex, we’ll listen to what you say.)

So let’s jump right in

If you haven't read our previous post on our business idea, please click here to. In that, we focused on how GramSquare would make lives easier for online retailers. Helping them focus on what they know how to do best, growing their business.In this post, we will explain how GramSquare is creating an enjoyable online shopping experience for shoppers.

As Nigerians, we look for a bargain in everything. Whether this makes us feel in control or because of some economic realities. The truth is that we want the most value for our purchases. I remember growing up and going shopping with my mother. We would nearly walk around the entire market, pricing items from meat sellers to food sellers. This wasn't a fun experience for me, but my mother seemed to get the best deals.

We have been able to build digital experiences from our daily lives with the likes of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp. Yet, we have not been able to express this innate Naija attitude of wringing-out bargains when shopping online. Either we are told that's the discount price or the final price, leaving us out of control.


Now I'm aware, how does GramSquare help?
GramSquare brings back our culture of bargaining. With GramSquare, we can negotiate with sellers digitally without leaving the comfort of our homes right from our mobile devices.

Let's say you see a bag on Instagram you want to buy, you probably drop a comment of the post and slide into her DM. Then the seller asks you to add her via WhatsApp. At first, you're reluctant but because you like the bag and you want to rock it to next Saturday's Owambe, you add her to your contacts and reach out via WhatsApp. You send out your first message but no response until an hour later in which case, you are already busy with something else. You get a response and negotiations start. You know the rest of the story. What if you didn't have to go through all that stress? The promise of online shopping is comfort and ease. Enter GramSquare.


GramSquare saves you hours of wasted time and gets you into bargaining the best deal immediately with a click. Once you spot an item you want and tap the Bargain button, you're on your way to your best value for your money immediately. The more you click, the more you increase your bargaining power and the better the value for your money. Once seller agrees, you make your payments immediately and seller reaches out to you to arrange delivery. See image below on how it works



Ok, GramSquare helps me save time. But is there more?
And YES, THERE'S MORE!!!

You can earn extra side cash with GramSquare. Once you signup, you can refer your friends and family (even people you don't like). When they make their first purchase on GramSquare, you will get ₦1,500 on everyone. The sweet spot is that, they also get ₦1,500 on their first purchases as well. So you give and you get which makes you a great friend and family member.

We're looking forward to your response Nairalanders. The first part was a blast with all your comments

We built Auction site like eBay for Nigeria. Instead of prices going up, they come down

We would love to give you a first hand access to GramSquare, Nigeria's first auction website for fashion items. Unlike other auction sites such as eBay, you as a buyer beat the prices down to what you can afford, the same way we shop physically at markets.
