Cairo – Egypt, 28 September 2022: talabat, the leading local tech platform, expands into new product lines for the back-to-school season, bringing stationery and school essentials closer to millions of customers through an ultra-convenient shopping experience.
“We are very excited to add this new line of products to our platform aiming to help parents across Egypt in their hard shopping journey as they prepare to go back to school,” commented Hadeer Shalaby, talabat Egypt’s Managing Director.
“Our customer’s needs are at the heart of our growth and expansion plans; we wanted to use our technology to make their lives easier and provide them with their essentials at a competitive price,” She added.
In order to fulfill back-to-school demand innovatively, talabat recently partnered with mega-stationery stores: El Maayergy and Alwan to cover its customers’ daily essentials by adding over 2,500 products. Which in turn saves time spent shopping and commuting, while enabling customers to shop from a wide collection of items from the comfort of their home.
Besides newly added product ranges, the tech platform maintained its focus on affordability with nutrition and wellness in mind, by offering discounts up to thirty percent on select items spanning from fruits and vegetables to school supplies and stationery.
Consumers can now download talabat on the iOS App Store, Google Play Store and Huawei App Gallery.
