Here is a question that has been asked very many times, and in this publication, I’ll try to answer this question. First and foremost, I want to let to let you know that UgMarket as a business does not sell or buy any commodity. But rather facilitates and enables others to buy and sell services and products. It is just a classifieds service on the internet covering the geographical area of Uganda.
What is a classifieds website?
A classifieds website is website that hosts a list of categories of products and services that a person might find useful.
Who benefits from UgMarket?
Everyone benefits from Ugmarket. By everyone I mean buyers and sellers. Anyone can post their commodities for free for sell and anyone can access commodities being sold and has the ability of contacting the seller.
Is UgMarket a free service?
Yes UgMarket is a free service. The main purpose of this website is to help and enable everyone to have the same competitive advantage in selling products on the Ugandan market. Since we’re a website, everyone who has access to the internet can access the website and thus view all the commodities posted. No advertising needed and fees to pay.
The why does Ugmarket have fees then?
Good question! Since the website is hosted online, someone somewhere has to be paid to keep it running and make sure it is running properly. For that that reason we have introduced premium features that are paid for. The money collected from such, is used to maintain the website and keep it [UgMarket] running.
If the sellers don’t advertise, then who will advertise?
UgMarket will always advertise. So far as you have noticed, we have advertisements running on Google, Facebook and soon will be expanding to LinkedIn. On top of that, we occasionally run advertisements in news papers including New Vision and Daily monitor. And because of this, the sellers are relived of advertising since UgMarket does it all.
Who pays for the all the advertising
UgMarket pays for all the advertising. This money comes from the small fees we collect on premium features and from donations of those who are generous to give us extra to keep the site running.
