We are living in an E-commerce era (not just in Nigeria but globally) and it is very important for small business owners to start considering having an online presence that enables them to sell and showcase their products to a much broader audience.
Even though a majority of you may want to start by launching your own e-commerce website, the major question will then be how will customers find you online. And doing this will cost you hundreds & thousands of naira to get a professional digital marketer, and consistent advertising campaigns.
As a small business, it is more economical to ride on the backs of successful E-commerce giants in the industry and when you have built more than enough audience for yourself online, you can then launch your own website.
There are hundreds of E-commerce websites in Nigeria.
Here is a list of top 10 most reliable e-commerce websites in Nigeria in 2021, and reason why we choose them.
