Introduction
According to recent research findings, the e-commerce marketplace is not only thriving, but it’s expected that at least 80% of all purchases to be conducted via e-commerce platforms in the nearest future. Now adays, many businesses in Nigeria have online imprints where customers can find out more about their products or services either through social media platforms or by creating simple personal website for their businesses. However, if your products or services are not yet a household brand, it could be very difficult for your target customers to buy your products with ease and also reach out to more potential customers online. Therefore, for any business owner who want to start online marketing to advertise his/her products or services and boost sales in Nigeria, instead of creating personal website at a go which will cost more money and less outreach, it’s better to start by leveraging an already existing e-commerce platforms in Nigeria to increase your reach and boost your sales.

Our Weaknesses
Our findings revealed that, most people don’t buy Nigeria made products because they are label inferior and not up to standard compared to the imported ones. But research also revealed that low standardization is not the only factor limiting users from buying made in Nigeria products.
