March, as the name implies, was really a month of marching forward. Before we dive into the present, we’re curious: How was the month for you? Were you able to achieve your Q1 goals? If you were able to, congratulations! If you weren’t, don’t worry; the year is not over, and April presents a fresh opportunity.
For us at Shipbubble, it was an eventful month. From celebrating IWD 2024 to starting new and exciting initiatives, March was definitely one for the books. Let’s do a quick recap.
IWD 2024
International Women’s Day 2024’s theme was ‘Inspire Inclusion'. Did you know that only 39% of businesses in Nigeria are owned by women? Our determination to raise this figure to 50% and advocate for equal opportunities in the e-commerce sector led us to the first edition of the Shipbubble Women’s Workshop.
Shipbubble Women’s Workshop
The Shipbubble Annual Women’s Workshop held its first edition on Friday, March 29, 2024, and the theme was ‘Empowering women to become better entrepreneurs’. We had three (3) amazing women who are industry experts speak on different interesting topics.
- Seun Alley, the CEO and co-founder of Fez Delivery, spoke on how to build a customer-centric business.
- Tarebi Alebiosu, the CEO and Founder of QShop, spoke on balancing business and personal interests
- Enirukome Esieboma, Finance Lead at Bumpa, spoke on separating personal finances from business finances.

It was a very interesting, enlightening, and interactive event. If you missed this year’s, make sure you don’t miss next year’s event.
