This is really a good question the fellow asked. Jumia and Konga made heavy losses that have definitely been written off. We talking about 40 million dollars for Jumia alone. Google to see specific details but it's huge.

Like I told a client yesterday. The site is one thing and it's like 20% of the work. It is just a window view to the world for your business. You still have to get a back office. Like you rightly suggest, the back office has to be thin.

What exactly is OP selling? How do you handle your suppliers? Are you stocking and tying down cash? Is it a just in time (JIT) model that require little or no storage? I think we call that drop shipping now. How do you handle logistics? I think this is one area Nigeria falls short. Shipping is dependent on the country's existing transportation infrastructure. In the US for instance, the US postal service ships for Amazon. So Amazon really doesn't handle logistics.

Finally, what are you selling? If it's that important, people will buy ecommerce or not. I built an ecommerce for a friend. She sells weight loss products. She really didn't even need the site because she was already selling impressively. Infact, she rarely even remembers I built a site for her which really hurts my effort. But it just means the product is the most critical thing obviously. So think about this.

Marketing is key because you need awareness. She gets 80% of her customers through Instagram. So you have to check out all these issues. Are you a techy person and want to build the site yourself or a business man? Techy people and business and not usually clear on the business goals.

Finally, I think the ecommerce market in Nigeria is over exergerated. I can't remember the last time I shopped online. We think we have the volume to break even. This is how Jumia and Konga did themselves in. Maybe the volume is not that large but if you do your marketing right and do not invest heavily. You might be up to something. All the best.

Think about all these. The ecommerce site does not automatically lead to sales. The products and your awareness campaign does.

Yes, Marketing is key, couple with the fact that Internet penetration is still very low in Nigeria.

I guess building an offline store, using social media to drive sale will be a good option.

there are several logistic companies that can help handle logistics. like max, ace, kos etc..

GrammarNazi1:
Uber and Taxify don't...

Thanks for the correction...

cvibe2:
Don't forget Olx ran away, Konga ran away before it was bought by zinox computers(yudala)

Olx had to change operation base. Konga now using yudala offline offices which is cool to me..

ikihealthplus:
b2c

He has a lot of competitors in that space but can still win if he can bring in a major disruption

I don't really understand what you posted

Besides, ecommerce is huge. which is he targeting?
B2b, b2c, p2p classified... shared economy model? etc

ikihealthplus:
one needs advertisement to create awareness,, even Uber and taxify also do advertisement too

Uber and Taxify doesn't spend as much as Jumia does... according to an Insider, he told me Jumia spend $4M annually in Nigeria alone...

Certified1668:
I'm talking about buying in bulk from warehouse

Computer Village, Ikeja... there are warehouse there na and Alaba electronic warehouse part

I live in Ikotun, Ikotun is been so cool for me although not everywhere here. but I live just off Governor's road and it's been so cool and security here is superb...

also, there are gated estates in ikotun and idimu with high level security... same with the island

Jumia, Konga, Olx spends heavy on advertisement, and have high operational cost. well, it will be wise if he can set up office in a less operational base like taxify and what Uber presently are doing now, he will enjoy the benefits.

besides, what is he bringing in to change the game? is he following the bandwagon? if he is, then he should forget it

Infamous:
Hi all,
On Thursday, I was prompted to schedule a restart as there were updates that were downloaded (I don't even know how, I turned off automatic updates).
I scheduled the update. When the time was due, it restarted. Took some time I must tell you.
After it turned on, I pressed virtually each key on the keyboard, the mouse (left and right clicks) to get to the field where I would enter my password, and there were no movements. The keys weren't responding.
I held the power button down for a forceful power off and after it was done, I turned the computer on.
I tried to access the startup options to be able to reset the pc. After a successful reset, I still couldn't access my pc. (I did this several times).
Now the only option I think I have is to reinstall windows while deleting all personal files and I really don't want to take this route as I have important files on it.
I have win 10 and win 8 cds. Each time I tried to boot from CD-ROM, I am told that I already have a media creation tool installed on the pc and that I should uninstall it first before proceeding. (This isn't an option as I cannot access my files without logging on to the pc).
I have tried system restore and it didn't work as the pc couldn't find restore points.
So I need some help/suggestions on this.
Thank you.

Get into your Pc with safe mode and do the needful.... always create a restore point when driving your system...

Nairalanders pls help me solve this challenge. I recently discovered my laptop is not suitable for graphics which I actually want to use it for
Its an AMD HP 2000 notebook with 4gb RAM, 320 HDD. But lags with graphics software Adobe Premier Pro. How can I improve the performance of this system until I can buy another one after the photography and videography training I am presently undergoing.
Thanks

Your system doesn't come with dedicated graphics card?

Be sure your graphics driver is properly installed

[quote author=mcgift post=70921127][/quote]Go to manage devices and check if the mouse driver is working properly...

If the problem persists, downgrade to windows 7 or former version
