Messaging is how a customer starts
They would rather send a photograph of what they are looking for than describe it. They can ask a price, agree an amount, and come back to the answer later. Your listing opens that chat on the number you already use, so a customer who finds the page is one tap from you.
- A WhatsApp button that opens a chat with you
- Your own page with its own web address
A page of your own, without a website
Websites cost money, need renewing, and need somebody minding them. A listing is the smaller thing that still works: your name, your goods, your area, your photographs, and a way to reach you. Filled in once.
- Free to list, with nothing to pay later
- Your own page with its own web address
- Photos of your goods, your shop or your work
- No account and no password, just one short form
The season starts before the shopping does
Black Friday in Ghana is not one Friday. It runs from the end of October through November across the malls and online, and it leads straight into Christmas. Retailers who resell from Makola buy their stock before any of that, which puts the busiest sourcing weeks earlier still. Then December brings the visitors. A trader who is findable in September is being found while orders are still being placed, rather than after the season has been filled.
Checked before anybody sees it
Every submission is read before it appears. That is why your page is not live the moment you press send, and it is also why what a customer finds here is worth their trust.
- Every listing is checked before it goes live
- Customers can leave a rating and a review
Put your Makola business where it can be found
One short form. No account, no card, and every customer who messages stays yours.
Questions
Is it free with nothing to pay later?
Yes. No fee, no monthly charge, no commission, no card. There is no payment system in TradaHQ at all.
Do I need a website first?
No. Most businesses here have none, and the listing is what customers find.
How does somebody abroad reach me?
Through the message button, using the number on your form. It works from any country without them dialling a Ghanaian line.
How soon is my page up?
Not immediately, because submissions are checked first. Listing ahead of a busy season is how you are already there when people search.
