In order to inaugurate their partnership, Jumia and theChamber of Commerce & Industry of Côte d’Ivoire organised a symbolic ceremony at the Chamber of Commerce & Industry of Côte d’Ivoire on Thursday 30 October.
Amongst the guest speakers are Fatoumata Ba, MD of Jumia Côte d’Ivoire, and Lucas Dossetto, head of Jumia Marketplace, who will speak about e-commerce and the advantages of the “marketplace”.
Having already won the trust of prominent international brands and acquired several big-name investors, Jumia, Ivory Coast’s number one online shopping destination, has transformed the Ivorian economy, bringing a new dimension to business.
Thanks to its marketplace, Jumia has given Ivorian brands, distributors and craftsmen the necessary means to develop and extend their selling network. All they need to do is to set up an online shop on Jumia – the so-called “shop-in-shop”. Enabling Ivorian entrepreneurs to conquer a whole new market while profiting from Jumia’s expertise in marketing and logistics.
The marketplace also allows sellers to benefit from exposure to hundreds of thousands of users every month, as well as a multi-channel online and offline presence, this will increase brand awareness and can boost their sales.
The marketplace platform is simple and easy to use, offering complete control and convenience for sellers.
“The marketplace represents a unique opportunity and an extraordinary business accelerator, making your offer available 24 hours a day, seven days a week in Ivory Coast. At Jumia, we put everything in practice to allow our marketplace partners to increase their sales day by day.
“In addition to our marketing and logistics expertise, our partners benefit from exposure to a great user number and an unequaled, international-standard quality of service,” states Lucas Dossetto, head of Marketplace.
It is with honour that Jumia is associating to the Chamber of Commerce & Industry of Côte d’Ivoire. This union marks a shared and strong desire to promote and accompany the suppliers operating on the Ivorian soil.
Fatoumata Ba says, “This partnership will allow many people to benefit from Jumia’s services and to extend their selling networks. E-commerce is part of the future, and we would like to give a chance to Ivorian suppliers to seize this opportunity and enter the e-commerce era from today on.”
This young and dynamic company will launch its partnership with the CCI in a lively and interactive atmosphere. Mrs. Ba and Mr. Dossetto will introduce two concepts central to Jumia’s activity: “e-commerce” and the “marketplace”.
