Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania,
January 5th 2015 - He goes by the name of
Hussein Idd, an Information technology graduate at Learn IT. His passion for IT
did not end at university level; it went all the way to opening a business in
the year 2010: Jay's Infonet Solutions, where he sells
electronics and accessories such as laptops, cell-phones, hard drives, flash disks,
etc.
Today, Hussein sells his
electronics and other accessories through Kaymu, a company he feels that can help other people like himself.
“I decided to do
business online first with the influence of Kaymu, after brainstorming with my
closest friends I felt there was a need to also serve people who weren't able
to shop physically - either they are too busy or they simply enjoy buying
online with the items being delivered to their home without the trouble to come
all the way to the shop, so the only way to do this was to sell online.”
Hussein explains how
selling online can save time and money, and how it can help buyers and sellers
in a very positive way, and offer safe and convenient payment solutions.
“Kaymu helped me move to
a different level in terms of business growth, and it’s given me the chance to
do that without a lot of effort or investment,” Hussein continues. “You should
just put thought into what you want to sell on Kaymu - especially fast moving
products that people use on a daily basis, that’s really important but I’m
convinced that if you have the right product, selling on Kaymu can work wonders
for your business.”
He describes his first
meeting with Kaymu, where a company representative came to his office and
explained how the platform worked." I was actually surprised when they
first started talking about Kaymu because I never thought any company in
Tanzania could offer this kind of platform." He continues, "I did not
hesitate joining because I fully understood what kind of impact it could bring
to my business."
With internet access
becoming more affordable and faster, e-commerce in Tanzania has grown
dramatically over the past two years.
"It has been very
positive since I established myself and it proved to be successful as my sales
increased and I became well known in this platform . It's an interesting
adventure I'm taking and really looking forward to bringing in variety of other
electronics and services in the near future."
He describes e-commerce
as Tanzania's future of which he is proud to be part of. He says " I'm
happy to be one of the few in the country who will proudly lead the line
towards bridging the digital divide in Tanzania", as the economy continues
to grow technology grows as well, the dependence rate on traditional retail
will eventually drop immensely.
He
concludes by explaining how he forecasts his business will eventually be in the
next 5 years. He feels that with the help of using the Kaymu platform his
business will dramatically grow, "I see my business going to new heights,
this industry is on the rise and I want my shop to be one of the best that's
ever been in this marketplace.”
