Nigeria’s leading e-commerce platform, Konga, is rolling out weekly discounts to give online shoppers more value for their money. The company says the move is part of efforts to make quality products more affordable at a time when many families are struggling with rising costs of living.
The weekly offers will cut across categories such as electronics, fashion, groceries, and home essentials. Konga believes that by reducing prices regularly, it can help customers stretch their budgets while also building loyalty among online buyers.
E-commerce analysts say this strategy reflects a global trend where online retailers use discounts and flash sales to encourage frequent shopping. In a country like Nigeria, where inflation has hit household spending, initiatives like this may provide some relief for consumers.
However, experts also caution that shoppers should remain mindful of their needs and avoid unnecessary spending just because of discounts. At the same time, businesses like Konga are encouraged to ensure product quality and transparency, so that customers truly benefit from these promotions.
In the end, Konga’s weekly discount drive shows how digital platforms are adapting to tough economic realities while trying to win the trust — and the wallets — of Nigerian shoppers.
