Re: [Skunkworks] E-commerce in Kenya -Bookworm.co.ke
www.bookworm.co.ke Only the best selling books in Nairobi and the World Yap yap...All true but Kenyans wont pay before they see the good. Best Payment option for kenyans is *COD* and after they have seen and touched and verified the good otherwise they are very careful about MPESA/ZAP prior to delivery. www.bookworm.co.ke Only the best selling books in Nairobi and the World On Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 10:15 AM, [ Brainiac ] <arebacollins@gmail.com>wrote:
kalahari gets about 5,724 pageviews a day. thats like 150k pageviews a month. I doubt they can move a million cause that would imply selling about five items on each pageview.
It is an impressive figure though.

@Albert,
I have tried mzoori.com and actually u need to register to access. The upside is that the registration doesn't require much details (about 3 things). Plus there is no delay with confirmation of stuff like emails. I accessed the registration through this link http://www.mzoori.com/iam Or better still i have sent you a 'mzoori Invite' :-)

As @Willie has put it, @Joyce where do you think you fare with your competition and how do you compare with other global e-commerce websites in terms of volume of product and NOT pricing of products?

@Joyce, You've said all this about kalahari.co.ke including offering millions of books, music DVD's etc.... really???? In short you havent answered the question on whether you have the critical mass from Kenya or East Africa for that matter.... Just want clarification. So! Do you actually move these "millions of products a Quarter, let alone a month"?

I used to hypothesis that the reason we don't have a vibrant e-commerce infrastructure in Kenya was the lack of payment solutions and lack of "critical mass" of people online..These two problems have been solved yet we still have nothing on the ground. So my question to y'all experts is what is hindering e-commerce in Kenya?

so does this man that you get the delivery company gets to receive the cash? Here is a big opportunity for a partnership between Safaricom *Zain* and G4S where Safaricom *Zain* will establish an m-commerce Cash on Delivery platform that holds the cash in a suspense account until G4S delivers the goods and updates their system. G4S only deliver goods where cash is in the suspense account.
