Being found is the step before being chosen
A buyer from outside Kano cannot ask around the market on your behalf. Your listing is what makes you one of the options in front of them rather than a business they never learn about, and your photographs are what turn a listing into an enquiry.
- A real page search engines can read, not a photo in a group
- Listed under your category and your city
- Photos of your goods, your shop or your work
The whole listing is one number and one page
There is nothing technical to get through. Your name, what you sell, your city, and the WhatsApp number you already carry. That is it.
- A WhatsApp button that opens a chat with you
- Your own page with its own web address
- No account and no password, just one short form
Textile and stock buying peaks before the selling does
Kantin Kwari and the wholesale trade around it move earliest in the season, because retailers elsewhere have to buy before they can sell. That puts the heaviest sourcing enquiries in the weeks before Black Friday and Christmas rather than during them. If a buyer cannot find you while they are sourcing, they have already filled the order by the time the season arrives.
Free at the start and free afterwards
No listing fee, nothing to renew, and no cut of an order. There is no paid tier to be upsold to later, because there is no payment system here at all.
- Free to list, with nothing to pay later
- No commission on anything you sell

Questions
Does the listing have to be in English?
The form is in English and your description can be very short. The conversation afterwards happens on WhatsApp, in whatever language suits you and the customer.
Is anything charged at any point?
No. Listing is free and there is no commission.
Can I list two different businesses?
Yes. Each is submitted separately and gets its own page.
