South Pacific Mega Mall (SPMM), a digital hub of online merchants comprising Pacific Island countries, launched its business operations early this month.

The website sells everything from food, clothing, footwear, household items

The vision behind it was to connect South Pacific merchants with consumers and shoppers from around the world, said SPMM owner and chief executive officer, Miriam Ratu.

The website hosts 24 island nations, with 340-plus online stores and businesses listed to date, as more businesses sign up to the hub.

“SPMM is easy and convenient to use – click on the Fijian flag, and all businesses in Fiji will roll out,” Ms Ratu said.

The Australian-based online business, lists all Pasifika stores and businesses from around the Pacific region in one location.

“We aspire to unite our region under one roof,” she said.

Advantages of SPMM

“First, it will bring Fiji and the South Pacific region to the forefront of global online shopping,” she said.

The infrastructure provides a solution for Fijian business owners and shoppers through its global audience, Ms Ratu said.

It can be found by local and international consumers easily and effortlessly in one location, and customers get to shop online from overseas for good to be delivered to relatives in Fiji.

Fijians have been compelled to change the way they do businesses following the coronavirus crisis, she said.
