Uganda Breweries Limited (UBL) on Thursday announced a partnership with Uganda’s biggest online retail store Jumia Uganda to enable customers within Kampala to purchase Uganda Breweries spirits online.

The partnership will see Uganda Breweries have an online platform on Jumia Uganda through which UBL will sell its wide range of spirits including Uganda Waragi, Johnnie Walker, Ciroc, Baileys at affordable prices.

Announcing the partnership, Uganda Breweries Marketing Manager-Spirits, Edgar Birungi said,”The portal will provide our consumers a convenient way to purchase our range of spirit brands at just a click of a button and have them delivered to your doorstep at no additional cost.

“Our customers no longer need to go through the hassle of travelling to stores to buy our products. The new portal will give them an opportunity to enjoy our wide variety of products via a convenient online shopping experience in the comfort of their living rooms and offices.” Birungi said.

Internet penetration is increasing in Uganda and is creating more opportunities for consumers and businesses to connect and do business. According to Uganda Communication Commission, Internet penetration in Uganda stands at nearly 40% of the population.

According to Birungi, many people spend most of their time online doing business, shopping and socializing and for a business, the internet is no longer a place to ignore which is why UBL formed a partnership with Jumia Uganda to reach customers on a platform they are already using.

Speaking on behalf of Jumia Uganda, Dennis Nyunyuzi, the Brands Vendor Manager Jumia Ug said, “Jumia is continuing to grow every day and our objective is to offer all Ugandans a variety of high quality products and services at affordable prices. We are glad that Uganda Breweries has come on board to add onto our range of products as we continue to provide our customers with a secure, convenient and stress-free online shopping experience.”

How it works

The online portal is easy to navigate. The products are well placed on the Jumia site with the prices clearly indicated alongside. There is also a search bar to help one find the different products faster.

The app which is mobile friendly can also be downloaded from Google play store which is convenient as you don’t have to sit on a computer to shop.

After a purchase is completed online, the goods are delivered directly to the customer’s doorstep. Deliveries can be made between 8am and 6pm. Payment is made in cash or on mobile money once goods have been received.

Uganda Breweries is also offering the customers 15 percent discount on Uganda Waragi, Johnnie Walker Black label, Red label and Baileys. The offer will run for 30 days.
