Hello there! I am excited to announce to you, that Bellafricana has opened up the opportunity for creative business owners to list their African-owned products on the Bellafricana website for FREE. Oh yes! You read that quite correctly!
In other words, Bellafricana says, you as a business owner can set up an online shop on the website.
Prior to this time, only Bellafricana memberscould get their creative products listed on the website.
However, Bellafricana is always thinking of how they can impact as many business owners as possible especially this Covid-19 period. We’re very much invested in the easing the business journey of creatives (as much as possible) because we understand how daunting doing business alone can be.
That’s why we decided that business owners can have their creative products listed on the website at zero cost.
You might wonder:
What will a free listing on the Bellafricana website do for you?
You get your products in the eyes of a global audience: Our well-ranked website puts your products right in the faces of those who search for them. We aren’t just content with making your product locally available, but are ensuring that it is globally accessible as well. We have gotten a number of feedback from existing members, who have secured partnership deals, gotten patronage from international audiences and lots more. See one of such testimonials below:
2. Get Easily Found on Google: The truth is that brands are less likely to be trusted if a potential customer can’t find enough information about them online. That right there (not enough info), is a red flag for some. Just what if you can’t afford to get a website just yet? A listing page would be a great place to start.
Once your listing is set up on the Bellafricana website, it will become much more easier for your brand name to come up, when it is searched for.
3. Drive traffic to your website, and social media
Now, that is not to say that having a website cancels out the functionality of a listing page. Infact, the Bellafricana listing page can also help drive traffic to your website, and even your other social media handles. How? When setting up your listing page, you can insert the links to as many as 30 social media handles/ website links. Let me show you what the outcome looks like:
All these and more are the benefits of setting up your listing page.
So, what makes you eligible to setting up your listing page?
Your products need to be:
Top quality
Creative, and
African-owned
As an African-owned business, you don’t have to reside in Nigeria (or Africa) to be eligible. The important part is for the brand to be owned BY an African.

Introducing the “Happy Collection” from Bosh Designs. The collection as the name implies, is one that is very fitting for this season that we all are in!
It’s for those who have made a conscious decision to stay happy despite everything going on.
You know that saying that “You are what you wear?” Yes you’re happy when you wear the “Happy” Collection.
Happy CINDY is made from soft denim, she’s actually softer than what it looks like in the picture😃. She is subtle on your skin and ready to make you comfortable.
She would look great, rocked both indoors and outdoors. Which is your preference?
Made from breathable Italian linen, Happy Bawwy is sure to make you ooze out good vibes all day! Did I mention that they are super comfortable? Now you know! Bosh Designs did a sterling job on this one. Trust me.
Meet Happy Bawwy’s Twin. If you’re looking for a more daring, outgoing look, then Happy Nikky is the one. It’s also made of breathable Italian linen. All shades of comfortable. Don’t you think?
KIFAN is conservative and your perfect buddy in the kitchen, can absorb one or two splashes and not reveal you’ve been cooking all day!😍👌. Her colorful pocket shows she’s happy to hold your phones, keys and even napkins when you need her to do so!
KIRAN on the other side, doesn’t mind drawing attention to herself😎. That’s the reason she loves to grab her car keys, put on a pair of sneakers and dash off for her grocerery shopping😷. Her cool pockets houses her phone and wallet conveniently freeing her from the burden of carrying a bag or holding too many things. KIRAN is just a HAPPY BIRD
Happy Abby is the perfect definition of Vibrance. It reminds me of waterfalls, and sunsets too. Can you see it too? This beauty pairs well with hot pants to give you that “Boss Lady” look. You can throw on a pair of jeans and some sandals to look laid back and relaxed. Any how it’s paired, you’ll give off the look of a confident, happy lady.
Now there are only limited pieces in the Happy Collection, and if I were you, I would grab mine now! Not later, but now!
Looking for quality Wristwatches in Nigeria? Well, look no farther. I am proud to announce to you a brand that is “the perfect liaison between modern technology and watch making artisanry at the highest level”,Crivel Wristwatches.
You know at Bellafricana, we’re passionate aboutquality African-owned businesses, and so we’ll bring you only the best, and nothing less.
Just before I gist all about the beauty of these wristwatches by Crivel, how do you identify a good watch?
Let’s start with:
1. The watch crystal
A good quality watch should have crystal made of either Sapphire or Mineral Glass. Acrylic glass is cheaper but scratches easily. So, if you’re thinking quality, then avoid Acrylic glass watches at all costs. Crivel watches are made from the fine, sturdy mineral glass, guaranteed to last.
2. The quality of the straps.
Some wristwatches have their straps electroplated, or of poor quality leather which will wear out due to friction. And for a watch you bought so expensively, it would be heart-wrenching to wear a watch that doesn’t take long for its straps to give.
If it is a leather wristwatch, Genuine leather is your best bet. There are some good synthetic leather (e.g. PU Leather) that will withstand the test of time. However, genuine leather is still most preferable. Crivel Wristwatches use high quality genuine leather that is long-lasting.
3. Its Artistry
If you’re looking for quality wristwatches in Nigeria, you should look out for their uniqueness. Wristwatch making is a tedious process, and a watchmaker’s love for his craft is evident in the total outlook of the wristwatch. As for a Crivel wristwatch, you only need to take one look at it to pronounce it a masterpiece.
Now, that we know what to look out for when shopping quality wristwatches, let’s explore some of our favorite watches from Crivel.
