To cut costs at Christmas, go to discount offering shops


Filed under: Personal Finance |
Christmas spending is certain but being prudent in this regard is very important, according to personal finance experts.
One of the ways you can cut costs and still get value for your money is by going to the market or shops where you can get discount. There are many shops specifically online stores that offer discount on certain items.
For instance, Jumia, Nigeria’s number one shopping destination, is offering to customers 20 percent discount on fashion items and 5 percent on other items for this Christmas shopping.
To accompany the festive season, customers can join Jumia’s online community on Facebook and Twitter to get tips for Christmas and enter competitions to win free give-aways that will be running from now till the end of the year. Jumia’s customers will also enjoy free delivery on items in Lagos and Abuja.
In the spirit of Christmas, the store will also have an array of Christmas ornament like lightings, Christmas trees and tree decorations – from a simple round ball to highly artistic designs.
The company began the countdown to Christmas by launching Nigerian’s biggest online store. Under the slogan ‘All You want for Christmas’ everyone can shop stylish products for the whole family – including fashion, gadgets, electronics, beauty and others; a special section Jumia dedicated to all the kids favourites at the best prices during this festive season.
Tunde Kehinde, co-founder, Jumia Nigeria said: “This is our second Christmas as a business and this time we have made it even bigger. We are offering customers everything with the best prices giving everyone the perfect Christmas.
“Also, we at Jumia are creating more avenues for people to shop online with our Mobile App which recently won the Nigerian RIMA for the best product of the Year. We at Jumia want to make sure: Wishes come true for all our customers and their families.”
In November 28th 2013, Jumia introduced the most exclusive discounts on the market by bringing the concept Black Friday from US to Nigeria where it offered up to 85% off, to its Nigerian customers.
The concept of Black Friday is celebrated around the world especially after Thanksgiving with stores offering exclusive deals online and offline for one day. This year Jumia for the first time, offered the opportunity for Nigerians to experience Black Friday deals.
Black Friday deals on Jumia ran across specific general merchandise items such as mobile phones, tablets, electronics, and home appliances among others.
The customers enjoyed up to 85 percent discount on items offer valid while stock lasts. This is also an opportunity for customers across Nigeria to start ticking off items from their Christmas shopping list. The Black Friday deals include gift ideas for him, her and children.
