Excitement and anticipation have reached fever-pitch for the June edition of the live online auction pioneered by foremost composite e-commerce giant, Konga.
A monthly affair which holds every first Monday, the June edition is set for Monday, June 1, 2020 from 12pm.
Already, a wide range of star products spanning a number of categories have been lined up for the live online auction. They include computing and mobile phones, Home & Kitchen appliances, FMCG products, consumer electronics, wine and spirits, among others. Also, a number of top brands including Samsung, Haier Thermocool, HP, LG, iTEC, Kenwood, Infinix, Tecno, among many others, have partnered with Konga for the June edition of the live online auction.
Indeed, Konga had made history specifically on Friday, May 1, 2020 as the e-commerce giant successfully hosted the first ever live online auction in Africa. The event tagged Konga Last Price, which was hosted concurrently across Konga’s social media channels and the website, attracted over 25,000 bargain-hungry shoppers who participated in the auction.
Following the success of the inaugural edition of the monthly auction, bargain-hungry shoppers have expressed their eagerness to take part in the next edition scheduled to hold on Monday.
Also adding a touch of extra buzz to event is the expectation among shoppers, some of whom failed to win any bids during the first edition held last month.
‘‘I am determined to be among the lucky bidders this time round,’’ said Ife Bakare, an entrepreneur. ‘‘I bid so hard during the first edition in May but I was unlucky as the competition for the products I was targeting was very stiff. However, I am ready for this Monday’s auction. It is my turn to win and no one can stop me,’’ she declared.
Also, Mustapha Abubakar, a bank staff, revealed that he would be taking Monday off work in order to enable him focus on the live online auction.
‘‘I have identified some products which I am keen to get my hands on. Going to the office on Monday will be a big distraction as I will not be able to participate fully in the auction. That was what happened during the first edition last month. So, I have already applied for a day off on Monday to enable me concentrate on the live auction. It’s an opportunity I am not willing to let go off.’’
