The announcement comes a fortnight after Innjoo launched its first smartphone the Innjoo Note exclusively on Jumia to tap into the growing online customer base in Kenya. The middle East smartphone company also launched the Innjoo T1 phone tablet 7″ 8GB Dual S​IM​ and the Innjoo F2 tablet- 10.1″Dual​ SIM retailing at Ksh. 9,999 and 10,999 respectively.

According to Parinaz Firozi, selling online Jumia marketplace ensures you are exempted of costs like rent, city council permits, wages and salaries, insurance and other risks common in brick and mortal stores thus allowing you to offer the best prices for your products and enjoy maximum returns as Jumia only takes an agreed commission on items sold.​
