Entrepreneurship is a journey often marked by challenges, passion, and a steadfast commitment to one’s vision. In this latest success stories spotlight, we had the privilege to chat with a long-time established indigenous stationery supplier entrepreneur, Jeremiah Kamzota, founder of Jeremiah Stationery. This is a company that services Schools, Non-Governmental Organizations, Government, Individuals and Private Companies in Malawi with school stationery, office supplies and computer consumables.
Kamzota started Jeremiah Stationery in 1994 and they have clocked 30 years now, doing what they know best, supplying a comprehensive range of global brands such as; Canon, Epson, HP, Dell, Typek, Rotatrim, Xerox, Croxley, Bic, and so much more. His passion for great customer service, the value he places on relationships with clients and his commitment to retaining and focus in his products and business type is a refreshing reminder that entrepreneurial enthusiasts should enter into entrepreneurship with the aim of staying in there for the long haul. Yes!
‘We offer our products at fantastic prices and with our extensive product range, we always supply from stock ensuring clients get delivery at the time they need the items. One thing that has kept us in business this long is, friendliness to every client both small and big. Further we take our business seriously and are available anytime for orders or enquiries. I’m also a man of faith, believing that with God, success is guaranteed.”
Strategies Deployed
“As Jeremiah Stationery, we believe that in a business of this nature, location is important and so we found ourselves space in central Blantyre. We offer competitive prices and supply quality products. We have researched the “why” customers buy stationery products and have answered it well than our competition. There have been economic shocks and pandemics that have hit us as a business along the way in Malawi, but we don’t give up, we have kept the focus on our vision, we learned early enough that without committed staff, business cannot survive challenges, so even during COVID 19, while others laid off staff Jeremiah Stationery retained staff and the impact to our business was minimal. ” Says Jeremiah Kamzota.
About Scaling Product line
Kamzota plans to start manufacturing stationery products in Malawi; so valued clients can access the products at a lower price whilst maintaining quality. They also plan to venture into serious agriculture as a business soon.
