99% discount, are you for real? Yes.
Let me explain how this works.
You can See Treasure Hunt as the hide and seek game we played as kids.
The only difference here is that you are doing it online.
In Treasure Hunts, Jumia deliberately hides a particular item in a category you least expect to find it on their website.
They will provide you with relevant information that best describe the item they need you to search for.
You are expected to start searching for the item within the specified time. Fastest finger wins.
Let’s just assume that the iPhone 11 was shortlisted for Treasure Hunt and you are expected to find it.
We all know that the iPhone 11 is a smartphone and all of us will expect to see it when searching under smartphone category on Jumia website but guess what?
Jumia can decide to hide it in clothing category.
For more insight, Here are the rules and eligibility criteria Jumia presented as a guide for the Treasure Hunt this year.
There will be a second Treasure Hunt in the evening by 6pm.
Those who missed out in the morning have the opportunity to participate in the evening by 6PM.
That’s it for Friday

Anything Else?
Just before you go, here are two important things I recommend you do.
Start saving in advance, remember the popular saying that goes thus; “opportunity favors the prepared”.
Ensure you have a fast and reliable internet connection.
If need be, get 3 sim cards with data in them because you never can tell, the one that seem very reliable can just disappoint.
Now that you have gotten a full glimpse of how the 2021 Jumia Black Friday sales is going to run, here are some tips that can help you prepare more effectively.
# 1. Know what you want to buy. I suggest you write them down.

Lastly, I will advise that you don’t get too engulf in the treasure search and forget to explore other benefit that are available for this shopping.
You may not be so lucky to get the treasure due to so many reasons such as network, bank issue or maybe you aren’t that familiar with the Jumia online store.
