Inside a Low MOQ Order: What 5, 10, or 20 Pieces Can Earn You in Profit
Starting an import business in Kenya doesn’t have to mean huge orders, containers, or warehouse space. At Blessmarked Online Shop, the online platform of BIC Agency, we specialize in helping everyday Kenyan hustlers, side-hustlers, and aspiring resellers import fast-moving products in small quantities—called Low MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) orders.
But the real question many people ask is:
Can I make money if I only import 5, 10, or 20 pieces?
The answer is yes—and this article will show you exactly how, with real landed cost examples and resale projections.
Let’s Break It Down: How Low MOQ Imports Work
A Low MOQ order means you’re buying a small number of units—often just 5 to 20 pieces—at a time. This keeps your starting capital low while allowing you to test the market without risk. Even better, we quote landed prices—meaning our cost includes the product + shipping + customs to Nairobi.
Here’s what that can look like:
Example 1: Smart Watches (MOQ 10 Units)
-
Landed Cost per Unit: KSh 750
-
Market Resale Price in Kenya: KSh 1,500 – KSh 2,000
-
Estimated Profit per Unit: KSh 750 – KSh 1,250
-
Total Profit for 10 Units: KSh 7,500 – KSh 12,500
Even at a low price point, that’s a double-your-money situation with just 10 units.
Example 2: Kids’ Cartoon School Bags (MOQ 5 Units)
-
Landed Cost per Unit: KSh 1,100
-
Market Resale Price in Kenya: KSh 1,800 – KSh 2,500
-
Estimated Profit per Unit: KSh 700 – KSh 1,400
-
Total Profit for 5 Units: KSh 3,500 – KSh 7,000
Many of our clients post these on WhatsApp or Facebook, get full payments, and sell out before restocking.
Example 3: Makeup Mirror with Lights (MOQ 20 Units)
-
Landed Cost per Unit: KSh 450
-
Market Resale Price in Kenya: KSh 900 – KSh 1,200
-
Estimated Profit per Unit: KSh 450 – KSh 750
-
Total Profit for 20 Units: KSh 9,000 – KSh 15,000
With small, light products like these, air shipping is affordable, and delivery can be made within 7–10 days.
Why Low MOQ Orders Make Business Sense
-
Low Risk: You don’t need to tie up KSh 50,000+ in stock. Many people start with KSh 5,000 to KSh 20,000.
-
Faster Turnover: You sell quickly and reinvest faster.
-
Market Testing: You can test different products before scaling.
-
Easy Marketing: Posting 5–10 items on WhatsApp or Facebook feels personal and limited—creating urgency for buyers.
At Blessmarked, we see clients regularly doubling or tripling their capital with just one well-chosen Low MOQ order.
