Targetonline.lk joins hands with INFOTEL as online shopping partner

Targetonline.lk has joined hands as the online partner of the premier ICT exhibition ‘INFOTEL – 2016’. Organised by the Federation of Information Technology Industry Sri Lanka (FITIS), ‘INFOTEL – 2016’, which is the biggest and most prestigious Information and Communication Technology (ICT) exhibition in Sri Lanka, will be held from 11 to 13 November, at the BMICH in Colombo. FITIS is organising this landmark event in the ICT calendar for the 15th consecutive time. The theme of this year’s exhibition will be ‘Empowering Digital Citizens’.

Expressing his views on this sponsorship, Targetonline.lk Director/CEO A. Jayaseelan said:

“Targetonline.lk is a unique one-stop online portal that connects buyers and sellers on a virtual platform that eases the process. This online market provides consumers with a wide range of products that will be available to them at the click of a button. Recently launched an associate company of ABC Trade and Investments Ltd. they bring their vast experience and expertise in bringing to you an innovative and effective way to satisfy your purchasing needs.”

This is Sri Lanka’s first multivendor platform that caters to a global audience of both vendors and purchasers; targetonline.lk offers you products that cater to your every need through sections that range from IT, electric and electronic equipment, household, healthcare, kids, beauty and fashion, to grocery and supermarket products presented by vendors who range from small and medium enterprises to large conglomerates. Today the world has shifted their shopping focus from conventional stores to online portals that better suit the lifestyles of the 21st century citizen. The need for a virtual platform that offers a superior shopping experience to the Sri Lankan consumer was identified and resulted in the timely manifestation of Targetonline.lk.

“The specialty of targetonline.lk during Infotel Exhibition is we are tying up with vendors whether or not participating in the exhibition to promote the products through the online portal and at the targetonline.lk stall at the event premises.”

INFOTEL Main Organising Committee Chairman Sudath Amarasinghe said that this will serve as a bridge and offer a viable window of opportunity to Sri Lankan companies in the ICT sphere to explore possibilities of securing global markets for their products and services. This can also be viewed as a good opportunity for local players in the industry to seek foreign investments to develop their businesses, he noted. Further, he said that arrangements to host the proposed exhibition have already got underway and further support and patronage from more government and private sector institutions is being anticipated to contribute towards the greater success of INFOTEL – 2016.
