Konga.com, in preparation for its takeoff, has changed its look. It has substituted its former look for a new UI displaying baby products, beauty products and personal care.
As stated in our former post some weeks ago, Konga.com is coming from the stables of the outfit that brought you the Groupon clone in Nigeria, Dealdey.com.
The e-commerce industry is really hotting up. We already have Sabunta and Kasuwa from Rocket Internet that launched a couple of weeks ago and some others such as buynownow, shopng, awoofshop, buylikemagic seem to have sprung out of nowhere overnight. They all seem to be getting their products in-country. I wonder if Nigeria has the variety of products to ensure they have a steady supply of different products for sale. Some other companies have focused on foreign online stores since Nigerians have an insatiable appetite for foreign products and there is an abundant supply of products from these foreign places. Such companies include Circuit Atlantic and mannastores, to mention but a few.
Only time will tell what the landscape will be like. It is fairly easy to create an e-commerce site but it is another thing to contend with inventory management, customer service, shipping and delivery issues, e.t.c.
The next few months will separate the men from the boys. Exciting, isn't it? Watch out.
