MinCommerce Solutions Limited (MIN) has launched Nigeria’s foremost online marketplace which is primarily focused on indigenous products and businesses.
The platform which was launched in Lagos recently would enable small and medium scale enterprise (SME) operators of products made in Nigeria sell and market their goods and services to a wider audience both locally and internationally.
Registered merchants would have access to their own personalised web store, have logistic support for the delivery of goods purchased online, inventory management system and a secure payment platforms for goods.
Speaking at the launch, the founder MIN.ng Mr Kelechi Ogbonnaya said: “In every crisis, there is an opportunity and with the current economic downturn it is important to look inwards and looking inwards means we patronise and support our local industries thereby reducing the demand of forex.
“This is a good time to patronise made in Nigeria. In our researches, we discovered that Nigeria spends billions of dollars importing food items we can produce here. Also, more people are patronising indigenous fashion designers, more entrepreneurs are involving mind blowing products. With this, we saw the need to create a one stop shop for everything made in Nigeria and hopefully, in the nearest future, we would be an exporting country because we have the ability and resources to do so”, Ogbonnaya added.
He also added that merchants can enjoy all the benefits that come with having an online store by being able to sell their products to customers all over the world. Businesses that sign up to MIN’s marketplace will have a free microsite provided for them, and MIN will provide additional value-added services including but not limited to marketing, customer service and logistics partnerships to cater for customers in all 36 states in Nigeria as well as Abuja and any other country from when sales request come.
MIN will also provide dedicated account managers to all merchants. Merchants can greatly increase sales and revenue by partnering, while Min.ng worries about getting their products to customers all over the world. We also provide convenient payment terms for the proceeds of merchants’ sales. MIN offers its customers both prepaid and pay-on-delivery payment options for goods purchased
