WOW.lk, the largest e-commerce platform in the country, now offers a new service which gives businesses of all sizes the ability to get online and start selling.
Under this initiative, businesses are provided with their own page and URL which could be used to showcase a limitless number of products within WOW Mall. They also get access to a payment gateway system to facilitate online credit cards, Ez Cash and even Cash on Delivery. In addition, businesses get some marketing on the WOW network and all products sold will be delivered by WOW anywhere in the country.
DCL CEO Reeza Zarook said: “More and more businesses go online to expand their businesses. It is now a necessity. But, due to high costs, hosting a site by self is not always feasible, especially for those who do small scale businesses.WOW Mall is an ideal solution for such business owners wanting to grow big by going online at a fraction of the cost of owning one on their own. For businesses that already have their own site, this could be used as another very effective channel to acquire more customers.”
Commenting about the new initiative, Jeggan R. Rajendram, Chief Business Development Officer of DCL, said: “WOW Mall is the most effective and affordable way to get your business online. We have a few packages on offer for businesses to select from Go-live, the most basic, is as affordable as Rs. 6,000 a month. Even a small scale business person who sells a few numbers in and around a small town in a rural area can now get their products delivered to all corners of the country with WOW Mall.”
When asked about their experience being on WOW Mall, here is what a few businesses stated:
Zahida Abdul Sattar, Proprietress of Treats N Stuff: “We partnered with Wow Mall almost a year ago and this was a huge milestone for us in terms of growth and brand recognition.

Amber Habib Vitarana, Director of Moms In Colombo: “Being a small business, getting our business online has really helped us provide value to our customers by offering them services like cash on delivery, which one customer all the way in Batticaloa used to obtain one of our products.”
