MTN Uganda launched tesadeals.com, an online digital marketplace for sellers and service providers. In addition, the digital marketplace provides individuals, SOHOs (Small office/Home office), and SMEs with an affordable channel to promote their goods and services allowing sellers and potential buyers to meet and engage toward a buy-and-sell deal.
Advertisers are charged a fee for listing their products or services on the platform with an option to boost the reach of their advert at an additional charge.
For MTN customers, tesadeals.com is a zero-rated-on data, allowing advertisers to list adverts and potential buyers to view adverts without being charged for data.
According to Susan Kayemba, Senior Manager of Digital Services at MTN Uganda, “Uganda is one of the world’s most entrepreneurial countries with SMEs and micro-SMEs fueling the economy and therefore tesadeals.com is an ideal marketing channel for entrepreneurs because it’s accessible worldwide and affordable with a standard listing for a month at only UGX1000.”
The telco said this year it will embark on its digital media business rolling out services to cater to the promotion needs of both SMEs and Large Enterprises. Tesadeals.com is indeed the first of many services to come, said the company.
MTN Uganda Chief Marketing Officer Sen Somdev in a press briefing said they are committed to extending the benefits of a digital economy in all their markets. “Through MTN Digital Media, we want to harness our Network Infrastructure and the Mobile phone to create platforms for local business to promote their services,” he remarked. “By digitizing advertising, we will provide advertisers the much-needed scalability, measurability, and affordability.”
