Ever wished running a sales campaign could be as easy as posting on social media? Picture this: You've got amazing products, eager customers, and big sales goals. But between tracking your inventory, managing multiple orders, and trying to keep your sanity intact, planning a successful sale can be a lot. As a business owner, I’m sure you’ve been there before!

But here's the thing - it doesn’t have to be difficult. Running a successful sales campaign doesn’t have to mean drowning in a lot of things or missing orders. (imagine getting 1,000 messages from customers trying to place an order in your DMs)

That’s where Bumpa comes in.

Bumpa is designed with tools to take the headache out of running your sales, and ensure that you don’t miss a single order, don’t send the wrong product to a customer, are able to track every kobo you make from your sale and also ensure your customers get a great experience.

Whatever you sell, these 8 Bumpa features are going to make your next big sale the easiest one yet. Let’s dive in!

1. Website: Showcase Your Products Online

When you're running a big sale, trying to manage everything through DMs can be overwhelming. Think about it - hundreds of customers messaging you at once, asking about products and prices, and trying to place orders. It's impossible to respond to everyone quickly, and you end up losing customers and money when messages get buried.

This is why having a website for your sale makes everything easier:

• Take unlimited orders automatically - no more missing DMs from customers

• Your store is open 24/7 - customers can shop even while you're sleeping

• Works perfectly on phones, loads fast, and orders are completed in seconds

• Everything is organised in one place - easy to add products and manage orders

Here’s a bonus feature to encourage customers to buy more.

Free shipping:

On the Bumpa app, you can set up free shipping rules that encourage customers to add more items to their cart.

How it works:

• Set a minimum spend amount for free shipping (e.g. "Spend ₦20,000 to get free shipping!")

• Customers can see how close they are to free shipping, encouraging them to buy more

• It's automatic - you make more money without extra work and can change the amount anytime

To set up your Bumpa website, download the Bumpa app on the App Store or Play Store, sign up in minutes, upload your products and start selling on your website!

2. Discounts & Coupons: Set them up without stress

On the Bumpa app, you can create instantly applicable discounts and coupons to run your sales. You won’t need to sit down and do manual calculations again. Discounts and coupons can be applied to all your products or just specific products, and you can also choose to make it a fixed amount e.g. ₦2,500 or a percentage discount e.g. 20% off!

You can also limit coupon usage - you can set how many times a coupon can be used, and how many times a particular customer can use a coupon before it expires. This gives you complete control over your sales and you can easily run FOMO sales like ‘First 50 customers get 20% off with code BLACKFRIDAY’!

3. Inventory Management: Track every single product sold

When you’re planning to run a big sale, you know it’s going to be a busy time. This means that your inventory needs extra attention in this period, especially so that you can avoid the embarrassment of overselling and disappointing customers. You also don’t want to have to sit down and count stock or check what’s been sold where.

With your Bumpa website and the inventory management feature of the app, everything is in one place and updated instantly. This means you’ll know exactly how many items you’ve sold, and what’s left in stock and if people use your website, they can no longer place an order for an item that is out of stock.

To make it even more interesting, the Reserve Inventory feature allows you to set the time a customer can keep items in their cart without paying before they return to your inventory, making it available for someone else to buy. This means that your products won’t be tied down in customers’ carts during sales, and you can make money faster!

4. Order Management: Stay on top of every order

One thing that happens when you’re running a sale is that you get a lot of orders, and if you’re not careful, it’s very easy to lose track of what customers ordered, and mistakes like that can often be costly. It helps to have an order management system that doesn’t require you to write anything down.

When you get an order on your Bumpa website, it’s automatically recorded on your app and you instant notifications. Each order comes with the complete details; customer information, product(s) ordered and more. You can process each order and move it from pending to shipped, to completed, thereby keeping your records neat and making sure you don’t make any mistake with packing an order.

5. Terminal: Accept and Track Payments Easily

Bumpa Terminal is a fantastic feature if you also have a physical store and you’re planning to run a sale.

Terminal allows you to collect payments fast, and get instant bank alerts on WhatsApp. You can also add your staff to your Terminal account, and this means that they get alerts too, but, and this is important, without seeing your bank balance. Only you have that information.

Terminal is great for eliminating wait time in stores, where your staff have to call you to confirm every single payment before packing an order, and is perfect for reducing staff theft, because every order can be matched to every payment, and you have the utmost transparency.

6. Shipping: Choose from up to 40 Delivery Companies

Another fantastic feature that is great for sales is the Shipping Integration!

On the Bumpa app, you can select from up to 40 delivery companies in Lagos and beyond, to ship your products to your customers home and abroad. This feature gives you the ability to see different shipping companies, compare delivery timelines and prices and choose the one that best fits your pocket to ship from. All you need to do is connect your Bumpa account to Shipbubble, and you’re good to go!

7. Staff Management: Handle Your Team in One Place

There’s nothing more frustrating during a sale than finding out another staff member already processed that order or sold the last item without updating the inventory and you already collected payment for it. Long story short, when you’re running a massive sale, everyone on your team needs to be in sync.

The staff management feature on the Bumpa app makes it easy to be in sync! You can add your staff, assign or restrict roles, and see updates in real time when they move anything. This keeps your inventory updated, and orders properly tracked and managed. And now you can manage your sales seamlessly, while not breaking your back doing everything yourself!

8. MOQ/MaxOQ: Control how your customers buy

MOQ/MaxOQ mean Minimum and Maximum Order Quantity. This is the smallest or highest amount of items a customer must buy in one order. For example, if you sell wholesale and set your MOQ as 5, customers must buy at least 5 items to place an order. If you set MaxOQ to be 20, then that’s the maximum they can buy. This helps you manage your stock better and makes sure you're making enough profit on each sale.

On Bumpa, you can set both MOQ and MaxOQ for your products. This is very useful if you:

• Sell wholesale and want customers to buy a minimum amount

• Have limited stock and want to share it among many customers

• Want to avoid running out of stock too quickly

• Need to manage your inventory better

This feature is fantastic because it makes customers buy more than they typically would. For example, if your MOQ is 5 items at ₦10, 000 each, your minimum cart value will always be ₦50,000. This means a customer can’t buy below ₦50,000 for that product.

Bonus Feature: Email & SMS tool

If you’re looking for one special hack to help you increase orders for your next sales, then it’s this: reaching out to customers who have bought from you before! And the Bumpa app makes it easy.

You can save customer data on your Bumpa app, and when it’s time for your sale, shoot them an email or SMS right from the app! It’s so easy - you can create segments or use custom-built segments, build email lists, reach out to your customers without having to leave the app or use another CRM tool, inform them about your sales and watch your orders shoot up. Fun fact; customers who have bought from you before and had a great experience are more likely to buy from you again!
