Grocery shopping is making quiet waves in Nigeria, and Lagos state is leading the pack. One year ago, very few imagined that Lagosians would do their daily or weekly food shopping online. Fast forward to 2012, we now have an ongoing competition between various online grocery shops. The best of these shops are here at Ngpricehunter.com.

From our own analysis, some of these online shops which are giving very personal and customized grocery shopping service to their customers are bringing the much needed change to Lagosians’ kitchens. They have added a Nigerian touch to online grocery shopping. Name it, you get it directly at home.

Now, the typical hardworking Lagosian who needs to do his or her weekly food shopping but cannot afford to leave the office does not have to look any further. Be it alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages to go with a cosy dinner after work or branded baby food or frozen chicken, you can buy them all online. Let’s not forget branded diapers for the baby which are all readily available. Fresh meat and isi ewu (goat head) are being added to their inventory as we write.

This on-going revolution opens up a lot of shopping opportunities even for Nigerians in the Diaspora. They can now buy their pounded yam flour, amala flour, semovita, garri as well as the ingredients like egusi, bitter leaf, for their accompanying soup.

What makes this Nigerian online food shopping revolution even more interesting is that the prices of these products online are lower than those in the shops.

What does Kalahari pull out from Nigerian market tell us about Nigerian online shopping trend? Not much. Yes, everyone is sorry to see them pack up after such a short time. Analysts and talking heads will try to spin this in many directions to suite their various arguments but one thing will stand out: patience.

Before going further, let me state here that every business have their own business models and goals. This is no doubt what determined Kalahari’s decision.

Patience is a virtue that must be cultivated in online business. What we pass on to stores at Ngpricehunter.com is that they should not forget that Nigerian online shopping culture is still very young and growing. Eyes should instead be kept on the future and not just on the present.

To survive, stores have no choice but to focus on their physical shop sales as they do online sales.

What gives us the confidence that Nigerian online shopping trend will grow? Simple. There is no other choice. It is only a matter of when. The poor state of infrastructure in the country which makes simple tasks such as going to a shop to buy a fridge or a pair of shoes a whole day’s affair leaves people with no choice but to find an alternative way of shopping that saves them time. Once people discover online shopping, the next issue is confidence.

Most stores at Ngpricehunter.com are already addressing the issue of confidence with methods that allow users to pay for orders only when they receive them. This takes the issue of credit cards or paying in advance off the table.

Most stores have also adopted free delivery of orders within their states. This saves the buyer money and makes it attractive.

Finally, an online store in a place like Nigeria today has to have a slim and effective management. They must adopt cost saving services that keeps them within budget. Price comparison services offered by Ngpricehunter.com is one of them. This way they can ride it out. It is difficult to tell if the story would have been different for Kalahari if they had joined Ngpricehunter.com as merchants but it is clear that we could have saved then tons of dollars that they poured into google ads and other Nigerian Newspaper websites. Still, they are experts and must have considered all their options.
