This is usually done to enable more customers to enjoy the once in a year special sales window.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is also the time of the year when vendors on e-commerce platforms across the globe make their record sales.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0Tayo Fatuga, owner of Ortintin store, has been a vendor on the Jumia platform for the past two years.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to him, his sales experience during the 2020 Jumia Black Friday was massive and he\u2019s hoping for better sales turnover in this year\u2019s edition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201c I actually joined the promotion last year and it was beyond my expectation. The orders I got really wowed me. In fact I got more than I bargained for and at a point in time I blamed myself why I had not stocked more.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThis year, I am better prepared, my store has increased its inventory. I have more orders and I know that this Black Friday will be better than last year,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A JForce Agent, Abraham Elegba who is really excited about black friday said\u00a0 \u201cThis year\u2019s Jumia Black Friday, I am excited because I know millions of items will be on promotion and it will be a good time for me and everyone to buy all the items that we couldn’t due to the rise in the price of things in Nigeria at the moment,\u201d Abraham said.\u00a0 A JForce agent is a sales consultant and a Jumia customer who earns a certain percentage as commission for successful orders placed for self or for others on Jumia\u2019s platform.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The entrepreneur, who is part of the Lagos State JForce network, further explained how the initiative helps meet the needs of consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cI have been a Jforce agent with Jumia for over 7 years now.

Most consumers are looking for the best product without stress.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n For Jumia consumer, Blessing Benson, she is looking forward to Black Friday because it is an opportunity to acquire some of the products she has always purchased at a much lower price,<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cWhen I buy on Jumia, I buy items for my stretch marks. I buy on Jumia because it is convenient for me and it is guaranteed that I will get the items I ordered for \u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Big global brands like Umdigi, Oraimo, Adidas, Samsung and\u00a0 Unilever, all partnered with Jumia Nigeria for the 2021 Black Friday sales\u00a0 to thrill their consumers with special offers that help maintain brand affinity and loyalty.
