Flutterwave reiterates commitment to small scale business at Trade Fair 3.0

Africa’s leading payment technology company, Flutterwave has reiterated its commitment to providing small businesses with solutions and initiatives to grow their business.

The commitment was re-echoed at the third edition of the trade fair organised in partnership with Pages by Dami. The event was held On Sunday, December 11, 2022, at Landmark Event Centre, VI, Lagos, to the attendance of over 1500 shoppers and 100 SMEs.

Flutterwave has consistently used the trade fair, which started after the pandemic, to connect SMEs to physical customers. The event was organized to help small businesses increase sales, and revenue and meet new customers by leveraging the festive season and the attendant shopping frenzy. The trade fair also served as a chance for returning and new shoppers to have a fun-filled and seamless shopping experience made possible by Flutterwave’s online and offline payment solutions.

In her opening remark, Flutterwave’s Small Business Growth Partner and Founder of Pages by Dami, Damilola Bello, promised an exciting outing for both sellers and buyers.

One of the vendors at the trade fair, FootCIty Ng, said: “The Flutterwave trade fair 3.0 was everything. I thank you Page by Dami and Flutterwave for the opportunity to showcase at the fair. And to all the beautiful people, who stopped by our stall and patronized us. It wouldn’t have been the same without you. Thank you. ”

Commenting, a vendor and owner of Dier Scents, Ibitoru Legg-Jack, said: “For me, it was a big plus having my mum and friends with me. I remember a customer being amazed that I could point out what perfume she had previously tested as she couldn’t remember which it was. It wasn’t a big compliment but it still made me happy. The day went by with people buying for themselves, their friends and even their parents. Being able to make sales and give my business the visibility it needed is something I’ll forever be grateful to Flutterwave for”.

Vice President of Retail, Flutterwave, Jennifer Jejelaye, expressed her delight at the success of the event, “Today’s edition revealed how massive the results of a dedicated and growth-focused company could be. Shoppers were able to easily make payments through our POS or Online Gateway. Many vendors also came fully prepared with different strategies to attract shoppers. We will definitely build on this success to make doing business more profitable for SMEs through our online and offline channels.”
