Daraz initiates ‘Seller Stimulus programme’ to revive local SMEs

Daraz Sri Lanka, recognising the need to support the SME sector, has initiated a ‘seller stimulus programme’ under the theme of Eksathwa Shakthimathwa, drawing from the need to stand together and support each other during this crisis. 

The programme will offer SMEs financial and business incentives along with marketing and promotional support to continue their selling and boost cash flow, the company said in a media release. 

This unique programme by Daraz will help locals to understand the logic of "How to sell online in Sri Lanka?" and start-up their small businesses locally. “The platform invites local sellers to bring their businesses online where Daraz will provide a subsidy under several methods. As such, Daraz sellers will not be charged the sale commission for a period of two months. Sellers will also have access to their sale revenues directly to their banks within the least number of days, through an expedited process. In addition, businesses will have free access to education and training in Daraz University, thereby speeding up the process of setting up shop and starting to sell on the platform. Daraz will also waive off all charges on packaging material during this period, further lowering the costs for sellers,” the release said.
This seller stimulus programme gives a great opportunity to the local Sri Lankans to initiate their small businesses by selling high demand items like grocery items, mobile phone, Laptops, Home Appliances, Kitchen Appliances, Fridge, ACs, Water Dispensers, Mother and Baby Products, and even more products on Daraz lk.
