Category Sponsorship is a specialised tool devised by Africa Business Pages to provide targetted audience promotions for various business sectors. The Africa Business Directory is divided into various business sectors that are regularly visited by users involved with those particular sectors. We offer your an opportunity to advertise your products under the relevant category to reach your targetted audience.
The sectors we have chosen in the Africa Business Pages are for those products and services that are in high demand in African markets. So if you are a suplier of Computer Hradware, it is advisable you sponsore the 'Cumputer Hardware: category to reach your targetted audience.
