5 tips to save money when shopping online in Kenya by @Robeentweets

When online shopping first launched in Kenya, there was the skepticism over
making a first purchase. Two years down the line, most Kenyans have broken
their online shopping virginity.


Shopping online can save you money especially because most brands will tend
to sell the products at a cheaper price online as compared to offline as
most costs such as rents, wages and salaries, county council/government
permits, insurances, risks like looting and fire are exempted.


But you can save money even further if you are aware of t he tips below as
shared by Jumia.


*Look for coupons  *

 Most online retailers will offer discount coupons mostly via their social
media platforms. If you are on the mailing list of the retailer, you will
receive the coupons straight into your inbox. Once you locate the coupon
you can apply it in your checkout

money most coupons offered by companies like Jumia <http://www.jumia.co.ke/>,
Kaymu <http://www.kaymu.co.ke/> among others will mostly be KES. 500 and
above. That's a reasonable amount to save right?


*Compare online stores *

Before you make the final purchasing decision, make sure you know the
average value of t he product, compare prices with offline and other online
retailers who stock the product and go for the best price that is of course
with the discount coupon.
