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.
