The order is placed before anybody travels
A shopkeeper working out a restock is comparing what is available, at what price, from whom. That whole conversation happens in writing, because both sides need to check it afterwards. Your listing is the step before that chat and the reason somebody who has never bought from you has your number.
- A WhatsApp button that opens a chat with you
- Your own page with its own web address
- Photos of your goods, your shop or your work
Findable by what you actually stock
A buyer is not searching for a directory, they are searching for the thing they sell. Your listing sits under the category and the city you choose, so the search that matches your goods is the one that reaches you.
- Listed under your category and your city
- A real page search engines can read, not a photo in a group
Restocking runs ahead of the selling season
Shops across the country fill their shelves for Black November and Christmas in the weeks beforehand, which puts the heaviest wholesale enquiries in September and October rather than during the rush. A supplier who is findable while those decisions are being made is in the conversation. One who lists in November is being found after the orders have gone out.

- Free to list, with nothing to pay later
- No account and no password, just one short form

Questions
Can buyers outside Nairobi find me?
That is the main reason to be listed. Your page can be searched for rather than only walked past.
What does it cost?
Nothing to list and no commission on what you sell.
Is an email address required?
No, it is optional. WhatsApp is what buyers actually use.
