In just 8 months, Tunda Shopping has achieved what many thought impossible — reaching an impressive 80 million TZS in sales. What makes this success even more remarkable is that Tunda Shopping did it all from scratch, without any external investors or funding.
When Tunda Shopping was first conceived, it started as a humble idea: to create a platform that would connect local vendors with customers across Tanzania, offering a seamless and reliable e-commerce experience. With a clear focus on empowering local businesses, the journey began with nothing more than passion, hard work, and a vision to transform Tanzania’s digital retail landscape.
Despite the challenges that come with building an e-commerce platform from the ground up — especially without the backing of investors or large funding — Tunda Shopping has proven that with dedication, innovation, and a customer-first approach, anything is possible.
In just 8 months, Tunda Shopping has not only reached 80 million TZS in sales but has also empowered over 200 local vendors, helping them reach new customers and grow their businesses online. This success story is a true testament to the platform’s ability to drive both economic and social change in Tanzania.
What makes Tunda Shopping unique is that it was built entirely organically. Without relying on external funds, the platform’s growth has been fueled by the dedication of its founder, the hard work of its small team, and the unwavering support of local vendors. This grassroots approach has allowed Tunda Shopping to remain closely connected to the needs of its customers and vendors, ensuring that every step of the journey aligns with the vision of making e-commerce accessible to all Tanzanians.
Some key achievements over the past 8 months include:
- 80 million TZS in sales
- Over 200 local vendors now reaching customers across Tanzania
- Over 7,500 app installations on Android and iOS platforms
- A growing social media presence with 2,500+ followers across platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube
In addition to the impressive sales figures, Tunda Shopping has built a loyal customer base, with Tanzanians embracing the platform as their go-to destination for online shopping. The ease of use, wide product range, and customer service have made Tunda Shopping the preferred choice for online shoppers across the country.
Social media continues to be a vital part of Tunda Shopping’s success. By engaging with customers on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, Tunda Shopping has not only created a community around its brand but has also set new standards for how businesses in Tanzania engage with their audience.
Looking Ahead:
As Tunda Shopping celebrates its remarkable achievement, it is clear that this is just the beginning. The platform is on track for even greater growth, with plans to expand its reach, onboard more local vendors, and continue evolving to meet the needs of its growing customer base.
