Online platform Kaymu Nigeria has kicked a new campaign which aims to encourage people to buy products that are made in Nigeria, even as the company intensifies efforts to connect shoppers to artisans and merchants who live and work in their neighborhoods.
The Managing Director of the company, Sefik Bagdadioglu, said they are constantly seeking ways to bring the company’s online world together with offline shopping experiences.
“…making connections between those communities whenever we can, and now we’re taking the next step in our commitment to facilitate these connections, and make it even easier for shoppers to find and support local businesses through the Kaymu Buy Nigeria project at the 2015 Lagos International trade fair.”
The Buy Nigerian event is featuring only local entrepreneurs that sell on Kaymu and is giving regular users of the site a chance to meet in person and interact with the stores that they may have only dealt with online.
“Visitors to the Kaymu Buy Nigerian event have the chance to shop favourites from a myriad of categories ranging from handmade fashion designs to children’s items, kitchen appliances and lot’s more,” Kaymu said in a statement.
“The Kaymu Buy Nigeria project is one of our biggest event of the year. It is an opportunity to not only find new, local sellers to support in Lagos, but also a chance to meet some of the sellers you’ve purchased from in the past,” Bagdadioglu added.
