Fellow Nairalanders, it goes without saying that the hike in the general price of housing is alarming.
What is the price for shop rent in your vicinity?

The price here and most other part of Lagos is just insane.
So how can one do business especially if you're just starting?

Like it or not you need a shop for exposure and greater reach. Although you might argue that you can still sell to family and friends until you can afford a shop, how sustainable is this? Given the high credit sales that come with this model of business in most cases.

Well, a shop is required whether online or a brick and mortar.
If you're considering a cheaper way to start or expand your business then an online shop should definitely be a top priority for you.

An online shop is like a physical shop but hosted on the internet and operated from an online market. In this shop potential buyers from across the country will see your products round the clock and potentially buy as well.
An examples is Jiji
Selling here mimics the real market experience as you can compete with other sellers in price, after sales services etc.
There's a huge bucket of customers that these online markets tap from. Studies has shown that in 2021 the online sales volume in Nigeria was over 12billion dollars and is projected to grow even more. That shows a lot of activities in this online market. So getting an online shop now is a wise decision.

Wondering where to start?
