Digital telecommunications services provider, Globacom, is poised to add more value to small businesses in the country with the introduction of a new service called Glo SME in a Box.
The package, which is designed to boost the growth of Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) in Nigeria is an all-in-one bundle to connect, grow business and enhance productivity and profitability and can be accessed for as low as N20,000 for a year.
A statement issued by Globacom in Lagos said “Glo SME In A Box provides a set of bundled solutions for all the major communication and technology requirement of SMEs in the country. The product provides, among other benefits, professional website creation, customized Email setup and business tools (Social Media Integration, free social media advertising) as one bundle to customers. With this, SMEs can avoid engaging multiple partners to meet their needs. It is also bundled with voice and data bundles to enable the SMEs conduct business with ease”.
The package, according to Globacom, is very flexible and that it can be used to establish online business presence and set up business-support tools within 30 minutes by anyone with basic computer skills. It added that Glo SME In A Box “helps right from purchasing a domain to professional website creation, accounting payroll, CRM and inventory management”.
The operator noted that “less than 5 percent of SMEs currently use Information Communication Technology (ICT) for their business operations or have a visible online presence” due to the low technology knowledge of most SME owners. They require a reliable partner to assist in introducing technology to their businesses and Globacom’s customizable, easy to operate and open to change solutions would assist the SMEs greatly.
“Customers can bring credibility and expand the reach of their business with the help of established business supporting tools and mediums. Glo SME In A Box is a complete bundle addressing the needs of growing and upcoming entrepreneurs through one single solution”, Globacom explained.
It urged interested SMEs to log on to the dedicated website, https//www.glosmartbiz.com, for more information. They can also call 121 for prepaid lines and 200 for postpaid lines.
