Are you the manufacturer of your brand? Are you the sole distributor of a brand in Kenya? Do you own the only exclusivity, right or license to sell and distribute a brand on the online space?

It is important for everyone to remember that Airsoko is an online marketplace therefore all vendors should be able to sell any product/brand, provided the nature of the product or the brand meets up to our Product and Market Requirements.

However, a vendor may request for a brand to be made exclusive to them or for a vendor to be permitted to sell on Airsoko, following the scenarios below;

  • The vendor is the licensed owner or manufacturer of the brand or the intellectual property.
  • The vendor is the ONLY authorized distributor of the brand and it’s products in Kenya.
  • The vendor owns the exclusive right to list, sell and distribute a brand on the online space.
  • The vendor possesses and can provide documentation, receipt(s) or proof of purchase from an authorized distributor for a Banned/Restricted Brand

Requirements to Request for a Brand Restriction/Brand Permission:

  1. Certificate of Registration of Brand Name (Not Company Name).
  2. Trademark or Intellectual Property Registration.
  3. Documentation, Receipt(s) & Proof of Purchase from the manufacturer/sole or major distributor.
  4. License/authority letter from manufacturer/sole or major distributor assigning Sole Distributorship rights to Vendor.

Get paid by M-Pesa, cards and wallets, safely.
