Black Friday is like a holiday for those who like participating in online shopping. This is the time when companies slash their prices and offer vouchers to loyal customers. Today, Kilimall has launched a five-day promotion in which customers will enjoy huge discounts and crazy rewards.
The e-commerce company has set aside 50 smartphones and 10 television sets to give away to lucky shoppers who will be required to follow certain clues to win the rewards.
The “Crazy Week’ promotion, which runs from September 26th to Friday 30th, comes ahead of the Black Friday shopping bonanza on November 26, 2016. Operations Director Victor Ma said during the launch that shoppers will enjoy up to 50% discounts on a number of products and free airtime, while other products will be on buy-one-get-one-free offer.
Products on offer during the promotion include smart phones, tablets and accessories, TVs, household items such as fridges, cookers and pans as well as body and footwear brands. “It’s crazy but real. We will give away 10 smartphones and two TV sets every day,” said Victor. “This will be the curtain raiser for major shopping deals on Black Friday.”
He said Kilimall deals in genuine brands from a range of manufactures in China and Europe. He added that Kilimall operates a model of sourcing directly from manufacturers, which reduces the cost of products and allows it to pass the benefits to end consumers through affordable prices.
“Kilimall is a platform where shoppers get away with big bargains,” he said.
Towards the end of 2015, Jumia launched a black Friday that featured flash sales, fashion deals, blockbuster discounts and more stuff at up to 90% off for everyone. The company displayed more than 1000 products on their social platforms which attracted many Africans. Although, some people were of the opinion that the company was disposing expired products; and most Kenyans thought it’s a hoax.
