Hi Bumpreneur,

I hope you are doing well.

I was in China last month for about ten days and saw first-hand what Innovation in a country looks like and what it means for business owners. The most important thing is how reachable most businesses were and how easy it was to pay for products or services online and in-store. This level of innovation is what we have made possible with Bumpa, providing you with an easy way for your customers to reach you online from anywhere and anytime and pay for your products both in-store and online, using Bumpa Terminal and Online payments, respectively.

While I was in China to connect and explore opportunities in one of the biggest export places in the world, I shot the Week 6 of the Support a Business Owner (SABO) challenge in Yiwu market and made it about business owners that import or want to import from China - Watch it here. Together with Topship, we have selected the five winners of the challenge who are getting perks worth over N2million, one of them even got N500k cash gift to buy products from China, 6 months of Bumpa Pro subscription, China supplier contacts and 12kg free delivery importation from China. See the announcement here from Topship.

If you are not yet following the campaign, we still have four weeks to go, and I will be supporting more business owners like you, so do well and join the challenge. I will post about business owners who want to learn to import from China, watch out for that on my Instagram page. You can also read about the program I attended in China visiting Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Yiwu and Beijing here.

In August, we pushed major updates for your business growth

New Bumpa features

Last month came with some fantastic additions to the app, and they’ll bring so many new dimensions to your business.

First, there’s the MOQ & MaxOQ feature, which now allows you to set the smallest and largest amount of a product that a customer can buy from your website. This will increase the average value of your orders, help you manage your inventory perfectly, and be great if you deal in bulk sales.

Then there’s the free shipping feature, which allows you to set an amount your customers should spend on your website to qualify for free shipping! As your customers shop on your website, they’ll see how much more they need to spend to get this free shipping. This is a great way to get people to shop more on your website without you even lifting a finger.

There is a remarkable new feature (Product History) that gives you better visibility on your inventory, helping you track the total sold, added, removed, returned, and every action carried out by your staff across all your business locations. This update also comes with better inventory tracking, where all your product variations now have their own product history, and each product variation can also have its pictures.

I am sure you must have seen the update about reviews, people are already using this well and gathering hundreds of reviews on their website. Check out these and more updates on the app in this blog post that Petra wrote here.

I’ll leave you with this…
