Emmitex:


thanks a lot for this information. but how would someone locate genuine wholesalers or sub wholesalers in the alaba or computer village market for this products.

Good question
However this response will greatly be helpful for the offline retailers. If you have decided to go online route, my next article will help do justice.

Answer to your question
A greater numbers the traders in Alaba or computer village are actually genuine. One thing you should know about Alaba as I stated earlier is that, Alaba is characterized by huge number of seller that is willing to sell their products at certain price based on their need or income, thereby enhancing long term adjustment to changing in the market conditions.

Practically in Alaba, you might get to shop A and price a product and it given to you at 10 Naira, you then go to shop B and get the same item at 8naira. As a starter you might be left in dilemma of if the first seller product is more guinuine than the other. But in actual sense they might be the same quality.

My tactics
I make out time to do my market survey (while on this, you will discover the same product sold in Shop A and B, offered at a ridiculous low price say 4-5 Naira, I will advice you avoid such sellers, majority of those goods are either faulty or copy.)

When you get to Alaba or computer village, there are so many reputable stops e.g "New age store, Fedan investment limited, cee-charlse group of companies etc.
Generally, if you are purchasing from any body make them give you their word's that what they are selling to you is original. Go further to strike a deal with them that if their is returns that you will return it to them for a refund.

Furthermore don't do this rookie mistake of depending on one seller, If you do that mistake they will milk you dry.

I hope that helps..


I will be coming up with a more detailed and concise guide on how to get the best in Alaba or computer village with contacts of people I have worked with.

somebody should please help with idea of what to do with 70k in Abuja

. Try importation business and sell in an online store
. Open a blog
. Go into sharwama business

There are loads of thing you can do with that amount, I started my journey with as low as 5k

Starting a successful business isn’t about how much money you start off with. It’s about filling an unmet need or demand. The success of your startup will depend on how pressing this unmet need or demand is and how successful you are in fulfilling it, not on the money you start off with

How/where to source for phone accessories

product sourcing

Product Sourcing simply means 'finding products to sell through your business'
This of course refers to buying products at a real wholesale price, and selling them online or offline for a profit.
Product Sourcing is something that truly successful Internet sellers take very seriously, it's a cornerstone of their success

In phone accessories business, we have three classes of seller's
1-the importer/wholesaler
2-the sub wholesalers
3-the retailer

the importer/wholesaler
They as the name implies are the one's that import the goods in large quantities from abroad

The sub wholesalers
These are the ones that buys majorly from the importers and resell to retailers in wholesale price e.g some of those big accessories stores you will find in the street of Kano, jigawa, enugu, oyo. etc

The retailers
This group can be subdivided into two (1) The offline retailers and the online retailers

The online retailers are the sellers that stays in the confines of their classroom, homes, offices, anywhere and list out their products online and watch their chosen E commerce site do the marketing and selling
.
The offline retailers are the folks that rents a shop or a kiosk to do their selling themselves. These shops or kiosk's are usually located in strategic places, say a new site, a market place, a T junction, bus stops, school environment etc.

Where to source your products
More often than not, people (starters) usually assume that whenever you mention gadgets e.g phone accessories 'computer village' is the place to get it.

computer village is an information and communication market located in a community called otigba at ikeja, the capital of Lagos state.
Whilst Alaba International market is an electronic market located in ojo, Lagos State.
Having said all of that, when it comes to phone accessories business, Alaba international market is a place to source all your product at the cheapest price, even folks from computer village buys from them.

The major difference between Alaba international market and computer village is that whilst the former (alaba) focuses on cheap products and uses cargo method of shipping for bringing in their products, the latter (computer village) traders major on fancy and more "original products" and mostly use express method of shipping, hence making their products simile more expensive.
To that effect any latest phone case, charger, will firstly be available in ikeja than Alaba.
Alaba International market is a perfect market in which no dealer influences the price of product, it buys and sells within the market with no barriers to entry and exit, the market is a characterized by huge numbers of sellers and buyers with willingness to buy the products at a certain price based on their need and income, enhancing long term adjustment to changing in the market conditions.

My recommendation
If you are considering offline retailing option, shuttle Alaba and computer village, Alaba for exceptional cheap products and ikeja for the newest products.

If online retailing is what you want to dive in, then I will strongly advise you stick to computer village.

Capital Requirement

Generally speaking, doing a business need sufficient funds, but there are still some business with little capital that profits well.

The capital requirement to start a mobile phone accessories business is not that much, though it depends on the scale you want to start the business.
Starting from that student that has 15000 to start, to that employed fellow that have a saving 100000-200000 somewhere pondering on what to startup with, even to that already "made" business man that want to dive into another business that will bring him high profit.

Mobile phone accessories business is a business you can start with Any amount. I saw a thread that someone was asking if he can use 60k to start a mobile phone accessories business .. Well we've all been there, all you need is to start small and grow from there.

My start up practical application of how I started with 5000

Having been in this business for over 5 years, I have realized that you can make up to 100% "ROI" (return in investment) in this business.
Don't you believe? See for yourself
The attached image is a screen shot from Jumia first page when you type Infinix or android charger.....
Those Infinix Chargers priced at 1070, 1700 and 2200 respectively are actually gotten in market for 450, yes you heard me right 450!

What I did was get 10 for 4500, set up an online store for free, use 300 for transportation to where I got my Chargers and the remaining 200 for jumia packaging bag.


I sold 7 Chargers on Jumia within 5 days at the rate of 1500.

profit margin
1500*7=10500
10500-5000 (capital) = 5500 + potential 4500 for the remaining 3 which I sold the next week

Threfore with my 5000 I made over 8000 within a week. When I say phone accessories is a business you get a 100% Roi that's what am talking about.

Nb: this is the lowest web of capital requirements, you do be amazed what you will get with your investment.

Not knowing much about a business may be one of the biggest advantage of going into it.

Having no experience in a field means you are more likely to challenge the status quo than accept it. Someone that has spent years in the system will often struggle to see the system's problem.

Having said all of that, there is a major difference between a person who will choose to make action on how their current environment works, from the ones who will take action base on what he believes was right for him.
