Sex Sells, But…

I don’t think this is what Ikea had in mind

Is Redalen a) a town in Norway b) a bed sold by Swedish furniture chain IKEA or c) something that sounds uncomfortably close to getting to third base in Thailand?

The answer, it turns out, is all three. IKEA is famous for using tongue-twisting Scandinavian names to help identify its sofas and beds. But as the big-box retailer expands into fast-growing new markets, it is discovering that those hard-to-pronounce names can also have other meanings, and that spells trouble in other languages.

Take Thailand, for example. … Besides the Redalen bed, there is the very nice Jättebra plant pot, which can sound in part like a crude Thai term for sex, and a host of other problematic words….

For internet entrepreneur Njeri Rionge, Africa represents the next economic frontier.
She says strong indigenous, African-owned companies are needed to take advantage of the boom times ahead. Ms Rionge is as famous in Kenya for her success in starting up several companies at the same time as she is for Wananchi.com, a cable, broadband and internet-based telephone company.
She started her dot com dream and first big venture, Wananchi.com, with the hope of bringing internet connectivity to the masses.
Today the firm has grown to become the largest internet service provider in East Africa and is worth $173 million (£107 million) a huge sum for a firm with an initial start-up of $500,000 (£308,000).

Ugandan Trader Stirs Market With Innovative Fish Sausages

prepaidafrica:

“I realised that the market for fish was not all that rewarding despite the efforts farmers put in fish farming. Besides, I was always challenged by many youth coming to office looking for jobs amidst high poverty levels in the country. My colleague and I started dreaming of what can be done to create sustainable and rewarding fish market, create employment and generate income,” she said.

That’s how she came up with the fish sausage idea and has never looked back in her pursuit to supply fish sausages that compete with the already known and tested beef, pork and chicken sausages.

The demand for fish sausages has since grown and that is why she is now intending to venture into regional trade. The first production was sold to friends and small sausage roasters before venturing into hotels.

“I was able to assemble bits and pieces from the net on how to make the sausages. Initially, most raw materials were not there, but I had to improvise, though the discouragements were many and as I sought information, people thought I was out of my mind. I knew I didn’t have much knowledge of it but I was determined,” said Lovin.

I find it interesting how women take the lead in entrepreneurship in Africa. Awesome
