Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>With less than one month left before the commencement of the Commonwealth Heads of State and Government Meeting delegates arrive in Rwanda, for their meeting which is expected to merge over 5000 delegates in Rwanda.<\/p>\n

A lot is being done by the private sector to utilize and benefit from CHOGM 2022.<\/p>\n

Davis Higiro talked to some entrepreneurs on ways to make the most during the summit.<\/p>\n

With Rwanda\u2019s consumption demand is expected to rise during CHOGM, Moses Turahirwa Founder of Moshions said people who are in business sector need to produce enough products to avoid scarcity of goods on the market<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should invest in products that are ready to be consumed, because there is a purchasing power coming, there\u2019s a marketing power coming in, in all aspects of business.\u201d<\/p>\n

CHOGM is expected to bring various kinds of people from different fields, in terms of marketing there needs to be proper evaluations, for people to use the right marketing strategies.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople need to identify who their target audience is, do proper assessment of people that CHOGM is bringing in and then do the right communications.\u201d Says Moses<\/p>\n

Florence Mwashimba who has more than 15 years in Sales and Marketing and is the Founder of Kigali Farmers And Artisans Market, PIMA Zero-Waste shop and organizes CHOGM street festival in June 2022 said there are opportunities in all kinds of transportation and Logistics.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople will need cars, mottos, bicycles, taxis, you may not have a car but you will be able to create an application which resembles Uber, which people can reach out and request for cars to rent,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Florence says there will be delegates who don\u2019t have time to go around shopping and that would be an area of work.<\/p>\n

\u201cPersonal shoppers, people can use their transport modes to shop and deliver products for the delegates that do not have time to go around shopping,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Florence, who is also in partnership with Intore entertainment, is hosting a street festival called \u2018CHOGM STREET FESTIVAL\u2019 which features SMEs Corporates, NGOs, Restaurants, Pop-ups in the newly revamped Imbuga Car Free Zone in the center of Kigali Town.<\/p>\n

She says people can also go Handmade because it has an exception of an African touch on it and also try out retail services which many of the delegates will be interested in<\/p>\n

Dr. Canisius Bihira, a Business expert warned the business community of unjustifiably raising prices.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother thing about the quality of services. At times service providers receive customers with poor service,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Isaac Nkusi, a Money Management Consultant says it\u2019s not easy to start a new business now hoping to make to benefit from CHOGM because the time has gone<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need to prepare in advance, there are some opportunities you need to prepare for a long time before you miss the opportunity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Nkusi for the people who are already established have the chances to benefit from CHOGM, people need to first realize what needs to be solved, that can attract customers for example in preparing meals.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor those who are already established, they may need to increase their capacity, change their menu options, meet the appetites of the people who will be attending, if you can create the food they like,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cUpgrade your furniture and your style, in consideration of the investment and return on investment you will make in CHOGM,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
