Share Your Story, Win ₦500,000: Bumpa Business Story 2025

If you’re a business owner reading this, you’ve come a long way, and you deserve your flowers!

You probably started small. Actually, you definitely did. Maybe it was just you, your phone, and a product you believed in. You took orders on WhatsApp. You tracked inventory in your head. You stayed up late packing orders and wondering if this business thing would actually work.

But you kept going. And now? You're managing real sales. You're handling customers. You're building something that matters.

Your journey deserves to be celebrated.

And to end 2025, we want to celebrate it with you in the biggest way!

Introducing: Bumpa Business Story 2025

This is a campaign for you, the business owners who are out here every day, hustling, growing, and building.

We want to hear your story. How you started, the challenges you've faced and how Bumpa has been part of that journey.

But here’s the sweetest part: 10 merchants will win ₦500,000 each to grow their businesses in 2025. And you could be one of them!

That's ₦5,000,000 total going directly to business owners like you.

Campaign Start Date: Monday, November 13th, 2025

Campaign End Date: Monday, December 4th, 2025

How to Enter (It's Easy, We Promise)

Here's exactly what to do:

Step 1: Create Your Video (Max 90 Seconds)

Grab your phone and record a short video (90 seconds max) telling your business story.

Talk about:

• How you started – What made you start your business? What inspired you?

• Challenges you faced – What obstacles did you deal with? (Cash flow issues, tracking orders manually, juggling everything, etc.)

• How Bumpa helped – Which Bumpa features made your life easier? (Order management, payment tracking, your website, inventory management, analytics—whatever worked for you)

Step 2: Post Your Video

Upload your video to Instagram, TikTok, or Twitter. Make sure to include these hashtags: #BumpaBusinessStory2025 and #PoweredbyBumpa

Step 3: Tag @getBumpa

Tag @getBumpa in your post so we can see your story.

Step 4: Tag 5 Business Friends

Nominate 5 other business owners to share their stories too. Let's get the whole community involved!

Step 5: Make Sure Your Bumpa Account is Active

Only registered Bumpa users are eligible to win, so make sure you have a Bumpa account.

Tips for a Winning Video

You don't need fancy equipment or editing skills. But here are a few tips to help your video stand out:

1. Be authentic: Speak from the heart and just be you.

2. Show, don’t just tell: If you can, include clips of your products, your workspace, your packaging process, or your day-to-day hustle. These will help your story come alive.

3. Keep it concise: You have 90 seconds max. Get to the point quickly and make every second count.

4. Good lighting & clear audio: Make sure people can see your face and hear you clearly. Natural light works great. Find a quiet spot to record.

5. Speak with energy: Finish strong! Invite others to share their stories. Tag your business friends. Make it feel like a movement, not just a solo post.

Why You Should Participate

Okay, let's talk about what's in it for you:

1. Win ₦500,000 in Business Funding: 10 merchants will each win ₦500,000. That's real money you can use to restock inventory, expand your product line, upgrade your packaging, invest in marketing or whatever your business needs to grow in 2026.

2. Get Featured on Bumpa's Platforms: Your story will be shared across Bumpa's Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and other channels. That's visibility to thousands of potential customers and fellow business owners. Free promotion for your brand.

3. Inspire Other Business Owners: Your journey can be the push someone else needs to start their own business or keep going when things get tough. Your story matters more than you think.

4. Connect with a Community: You'll be part of a network of business owners who get it. The late nights. The tough decisions. The small wins that feel like huge victories. You're not alone in this, and this campaign proves it.

How Winners Will Be Selected

We want to be totally transparent about how we'll choose the winners. Here's the process:

Stage 1: Entry Review

We'll review all submissions to make sure everyone is an active Bumpa user (eligibility check).

Stage 2: Shortlist Top 20

Our team will watch all the videos and select the 20 most inspiring, authentic, and impactful stories.

Stage 3: Final Selection (10 Winners)

From the top 20, we'll choose 10 winners based on:

• Authenticity – Does the story feel real and honest?

• Creativity – Is the video engaging and well-told?

• Impact – Does the story inspire and resonate with us?

• Engagement – Likes, comments, and shares matter too (so share your video widely!)

Stage 4: Winner Announcement

Winners will be announced on Bumpa's social media pages. We'll also reach out directly to let you know you've won.

Your Journey Deserves to Be Celebrated

It all matters: the late nights, hard decisions, moments you almost quit, small wins that turned into big ones, the growth you’ve worked so hard for.

All of it matters. All of it is worth celebrating.

We can't wait to hear your story! Create your video, inspire someone else and stand the chance to win ₦500,000. Your story could also be the one that reminds someone else that they can do this too.

Let's celebrate your growth. Let's build together.
