Fempreneurs’ unique approach
Fempreneurs was founded as a platform to help female entrepreneurs who lack the funds,tech savviness, and confidence to start or take their businesses to the next level.
It has grown into a community offering women the tools and support needed to successfully launch and run a business online. A multi-vendor marketplace with an ecosystem of resources and coaching at affordable rates, it offers women the opportunity to list their business or create a full ecommerce store, including a payment gateway and courier services.
One success story comes from Ursula of UB Brands: “I accidentally came across Fempreneurs at a critical point in my business where I needed to move forward but was unsure HOW. They have in no uncertain terms shown me a way. I have felt comfortable in every step of the process with all their assistance, guidance and patience. I am excited and positive that this is the right way to go and grateful knowing that the Fempreneurs team has got my back and only want the best for my business and to grow.”
The partnership with Bob Go
At the heart of this partnership is the integration of Fempreneurs’ online platform with Bob Go’s logistics services. Fempreneurs has developed a streamlined solution enabling vendors on their platform to seamlessly link their Bob Go accounts for order fulfillment. This integration not only simplifies logistics for vendors but also enhances efficiency and reliability in fulfilling orders.
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Fempreneurs over the past few months, and it’s been an eye-opening journey. As someone who regularly interacts with aspiring entrepreneurs, I’ve seen firsthand how daunting the task of creating a successful marketplace can be, particularly when it comes to navigating the complexities of logistics,” remarked Bob Go’s Business Development Manager, Riaan de Klerk, who spearheaded this partnership.
He continues, “When Fempreneurs first approached us, I’ll admit, I had my doubts. But there was something about their vision that intrigued me – a unique concept with the potential for real impact. Despite the hurdles and challenges that arose during our discussions, the Fempreneurs team never wavered in their commitment. They listened attentively, absorbed feedback constructively, and tirelessly brainstormed solutions to every obstacle we encountered.”
Partnership benefits for vendors
Under this partnership, vendors recommended by Fempreneurs enjoy exclusive benefits with Bob Go. They can sign up for the Bob Go Starter plan without any monthly subscription fees, a significant advantage for small businesses looking to optimise their operational costs. This initiative underscores Bob Go’s commitment to supporting entrepreneurial ventures and fostering a conducive environment for growth.
Looking ahead
As we celebrate Women’s Month, this partnership symbolises more than just a business collaboration. It represents a shared commitment to empowerment, innovation, and creating tangible opportunities for women in business. Through their joint efforts, Bob Go and Fempreneurs aim to inspire and empower a new generation of female entrepreneurs, paving the way for sustainable economic growth and gender equality in the entrepreneurial landscape.
Riaan de Klerk further states: “It’s rare to come across a team so dedicated to realising their vision. But that’s exactly what sets Fempreneurs apart. Their determination and passion for empowering small women-owned businesses in South Africa are truly commendable. I have no doubt that they’re on the path to something truly remarkable, and I’m honoured to be a part of their journey.”
With initiatives like the 30-day trial offer on Fempreneurs extended to 60 days using the promo code “BOB24,” this partnership promises to be a catalyst for transformative change in the business community.
