First online trade fair launched

An online trade fair platform aimed at delivering the best exhibition experience across the Internet has been launched at a ceremony in Accra.

The platform, www.ghanasalesfair.com, powered by Web & Software Limited, will be functional in March 2011 and is expected to host over four million Ghanaian customers and attract more than 700 million international participants through electronic campaigns on major website and search engines.

“The online trade fair is a major part of our broad strategy to ensure that Ghana is not left behind in information technology advancements worldwide,” Mr. Philip Gamey, Chief Executive Officer of Web& Software Limited said at the ceremony.

“With Ghanasalesfair.com the future is here with us, the future where the customer will be able to find companies providing products and services they are looking for without having to move from one location to the other or wait for advertisements.

This ushers in a new era of doing business and a new era of collaboration.”

Mr. Gamey explained that the deployment of the first online sales fair platform will deliver the best business exhibition experience across the computer, the phone, and the other Internet enabled devices such as iPads.

“With a consistent increase in the number of Internet users in the country over recent years, there is no better time to make it easier for customers to have access to businesses no matter their location than now.

“Today’s businesses all over the world see the globe as their marketplace, and Ghanasalesfair.com makes it possible for Ghanaian businesses to have a fair share of the global market we have all talked about for a long time.

“Customers should expect an unforgettable experience once the fair opens in March 2011. We’ll continue be guided by business intelligence to make the customer experience more enjoyable and stress-free.

“Our mission is to organise business information in a way that customers can access and utilise far more easily and readily than they’ve typically been able to do all these years,” Mr. Gamey remarked.
