Foremost composite e-commerce giant, Konga has launched a partnership with renowned Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) manufacturer, Unilever which will see the wide range of products on the brand’s stable placed at the reach of shoppers across the country.
Indeed, Unilever is keen to leverage Konga’s massive regional warehousing infrastructure, advanced logistics capabilities and unmatched reach, through its thriving online platform which caters to a growing clientele of online shoppers in search of genuine products at the best prices available in the market. Further increasing the appeal of Konga as a premium vehicle suited to Unilever’s ambition of reaching new and potential customers is the e-commerce giant’s network of physical stores widely dispersed in the metropolises and various nooks and crannies across Nigeria’s vast landscape and its Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) licensed payment wallet, KongaPay; factors that have made it the toast of a number of top global brands looking to make an in-road into Africa’s biggest market via e-commerce.
In addition, shoppers in Nigeria are in for a treat as Konga has rolled out free delivery for shoppers on the various product range in the Unilever stable.
These include products such as Royco seasoning package, Lipton Yellow Label Tea, Close-up Red Hot and Herbal lines, Sunlight detergent, Lifebuoy, Lux, Pepsodent, Vaseline and Shea Moisture, among others. Equally important, the products can be accessed online on the Konga platform at: https://www.konga.com/merchant/unilver-online-store
