“Our Black Friday has finally started. It is very different from the popular Kenya e-commerce sites. Jiji is not a business, but a marketplace that provides buyers and sellers with an opportunity to meet and exchange goods and services, “said Maksym Golubev, Country Manager of Jiji Kenya.

“We therefore have a system that automatically selects all sellers who have lowered the prices of their products. The system then calculates the exact percentage discounts on those products, ”he added.

The Christmas Era Sale includes hundreds of discounts on precisely discounted products.

Fake offers

Grace Gikonyo, head of PR at Jiji Kenya, said the website guarantees vacation shoppers the best prices, confirmed and proven significant discounts.
