African Market goes digital in partnership with China, Japan, USA…
(Doing business will finally be so easy)
Nigeria is a country of vibrant and tough individuals, it operates a government structure of 36 states with a federal capital at Abuja. The Nigerian economy is sensibly open and with an approximate population of 204 million, it is fruitful ground for organizations and business visionaries searching for development openings. An IMF forecast expressed that Nigeria's development rate would cross into twofold digit domain in the 2012-2015 time span which would put Nigeria in front of two other developing markets, Brazil and Russia, and somewhat behind India and China.
The African market is about going digital and taking a run at one of the world's biggest and established e-commerce sectors like Alibaba.com, Jumia.com, and Amazon.com, etc. A Nigerian company is on the verge of launching www.alabamarket.com.
In my research, I discovered that the idea behind www.alabamarket.com is pretty familiar and unfamiliar to many that are accustomed to doing business in an orthodox and manual way like traveling a far distance because of business dealings. The uniqueness of this platform is that its different from the various e-commerce platforms that are available in the country and the rest of the African continent. It should only be compared to www.alibaba.com. This is because they connect business to business (B2B).
What Is B2B e-commerce?
If you’re a wholesale distributor or manufacturer, and you’re looking to grow your business, B2B e-commerce is likely either or already part of your current business model, or soon will be. But what's a good B2B e-commerce definition?
B2B e-commerce is defined as, “a type of commerce transaction that exists between businesses, such as involving a manufacturer to a wholesaler, or a wholesaler to a retailer.” B2B e-commerce can indeed include transactions across a broad range of industries. Manufacturers may also sell directly to retailers through B2B e-commerce platforms.
Users of the platform get to the site through their official website www.alabamarket.com to order for the goods or products they are selling at the comfort of their homes or even on their beds through a mobile phone or computer and have it delivered to their warehouse/shop/company within a short period. Now imagine the benefits that you as a business man stand to gain, they practically cut out all the stress involved in doing business in this part of the world. With their fast, reliable, secured, and portable nature, www.alabamarket.com will effectively handle every business-related problem that has become part of Nigeria and many African countries. This will surely be the cheapest way of doing business right now in Nigeria and indeed Africa at large because of the poor road infrastructure and so on.
One of the most enticing features they have on the site is the traders protection feature that protects buyers and sellers from any form of fraud and scam related issues, this is included in every business dealings on the site, so there's nothing to be afraid of while doing business on the platform. Other modern unique features which includes the following:
