Samsung Electronics East Africa has gotten into a partnership with BrandCart Limited to launch an online shop. From the website, Samsung.BrandCart.co.ke, Kenyans will be able to buy Samsungs electronics, and have them delivered to wherever they are in the country.
From the website, you will be able to pick up a wide range of electronics including televisions, fridges, microwaves, soundbars and more. Users will also be able to learn about new technologies on Samsung products. This will guide in decision making before purchasing.
Those in Nairobi will be able to pay for items on delivery. BrandCart says it has integrated different payment options to allow every customer to use whichever means is comfortable for them.
BrandCart also promises same day delivery for those within the Nairobi Metropolitan area, with 24hr delivery across the country. Everything will be handled by BrandCart with no third-party partnerships for things like delivery. This, BrandCart says, will ensure quality and good service from purchase to receipt.
To push uptake of the new shop, there will be discounts as well as great prizes for the first 100 people who make a purchase online.
