How to prepare for Jumia Kenya Black Friday.
Register on the Jumia Kenya Website.
It is obvious that you cannot take advantage of this festival unless you are registered at their website. With over 16 million users, you may be the only one left. If you are already registered then read on, however if you are not registered, then you can read a post I wrote on what you need to know about Jumia Kenya and how to register.
Mark the dates
In our busy schedules, we often forget about events we are supposed to be part of. That is why we have diaries. Write it somewhere in your diary. If you are one of those people that look at your diary a day before, then you should be set. Honestly speaking I am a poor user of a diary. So how do I do it?
This is what I do.
Jumia Kenya Black Friday flash sales are very popular among shoppers. Therefore, within seconds of a product you are waiting to buy goes live, it could be gone before your very eyes. If you are not ready, you will miss out.
Let me share a story.
One of the weeks when the flash sales were running on Jumia Kenya a few months ago, I set my eyes on buying a phone. The price of this particular phone was going for a half of the marked price. The flash price was so good I could not resist the offer.
I had everything set. Good 4G network on my phone and full battery. Fortunately or unfortunately, I was travelling the same day. The flash price was for a period of 2 hours from 10.00am to 12.00 noon. I logged into Jumia at exactly 09.57 am, went to the page with phone. Unfortunately, our vehicle went downhill and my phone network dropped to 2G. I tried to refresh the page but it could not reload.
By the time we got out of the valley, it was 10.01am. I tried to refresh the page and it worked since the signal was a bit stronger at 3G. However, I was greeted with a message that the phone was already gone!
This is how fast these products go!
I learned how to get prepared.
So how do I make sure I do not miss out? Simple. I set a reminder on my phone. I bet you too can set a reminder on your phone. This is how I do it differently. You too can do so. Or do it your way, anyway that will remind you of the event.
In my case I set the reminder such that I have a reminder at intervals of 20 minutes, 10 minutes and 5 minutes intervals before the event.
When the alarm goes off 20 minutes to time, I have to finish what I am doing and most importantly check whether I have data if am using a phone. If am on my PC, I check whether I have an internet connection. If not, this is the time to sort that out. I also make sure that my devices (phone or PC) have enough power. There nothing as frustrating as your phone or PC dying on you when you want to make a purchase you have waited all year.
At 10 minutes, I should have sorted the internet connection on the device that am using. In most cases, it is usually my phone. This also serves as a second alert just in case I missed the first one.
At 5 minutes, that is when I log into my account on Jumia Kenya Website and begin browsing to the product I want to buy.
It is important to go to Jumia Kenya website a day before and make a decision on the purchase you are going to make. Jumia always informs its customers early enough to prepare.
Once I find the product I want to buy, I stick to that page. In intervals of about 5 seconds each, I refresh the page. When the timer goes to zero and the product goes live, I strike. I buy the product.
That is how I do it.
What products are on offer?
Now that you are ready for the Jumia Kenya Black Friday, let me bring you some of the products that will be on offer.
