ITRealms:

Following the burgeoning of its Mobile Monday innovation, Yudala on Monday entered into partnership with foremost financial institutions with the United Bank for Africa (UBA) to make shopping easier, reports ITRealms.

Disclosing this, the founder, Yudala, Prince Nnamdi Ekeh informed ITRealms that among the special packages witnessed last Monday was a partnership with UBA to offer shoppers an exclusive deal on the Infinix Hot Note complete with a free pouch for UBA card holders.

Yudala, Ekeh said has also offered shoppers a chance to enjoy special deals during a flash sale at specific hours on Monday, with huge price slashes witnessed on select devices at 12pm, 3pm and 6pm.

“Customers had gone on a rampage to get the most subscribed deal of the day - HP 250 G4 Notebook which came with a free bag and F&D V10 2.0 Speaker,” he said.

Further, Ekeh said, additional surprise for shoppers was the introduction of the Samsung 20” TV flash on sale.

Shoppers, he pointed out could buy all kinds of mobile devices on every day of the week from Yudala, however, he revealed that the company has decided to set aside Mondays as a unique day on which special deals and mouth-watering deals on various mobile devices could be enjoyed.

“Although mobile devices are on sale every day of the week at Yudala, we have decided to set aside every Monday in 2016 as a day on which our esteemed customers can get the best prices and surprise deals on mobile devices from the best, the biggest and most renowned brands,” he said.

“Through the Yudala Mobile Monday, we are offering Nigerians an opportunity to meet their needs and upgrade their lifestyles at a cost that makes sense in line with the current atmosphere of reduced earnings.

Ekeh expressed confident that in no time, this promotion will certainly occupy the minds as the biggest single day sales of mobile devices in the country.

“We’re seeing the signs of this movement from Nigerians already and on our part, we will keep doing our best to ensure we make the best mobile devices available at the right prices every Monday,” he assured.

ITRealms recalls that Yudala launched into the market late quarter of last year with great panache and marketing blitz, successfully expanding the nation’s e-commerce and offline retail space with several innovative strategies including the first ever drone delivery in Africa, Neighbour-to-Neighbour Mega Deals, Gyming with the Stars series, Monthly Mid-Day Madness and Yu-jara and pride itself as Nigeria’s largest festive Seasons Sales, among others, for genuine products and for being the fastest pay on delivery composite e-commerce company in the country.
