“This festival is a bold move to combat the $3.7 trillion in global sales businesses risk losing to poor customer appreciation. We’re creating a platform where loyalty is no longer a marketing buzzword, it becomes the most valuable currency for growth, connection, and community," he said.

Studies show that while poor customer experience could cost brands trillions globally, a 5% increase in retention can boost profits by at least 25%. The Bvndle Rewards Festival seeks to turn that insight into action by celebrating the customers, creators, and communities that give brands their meaning.

In her remarks, Ms. Michelle Nwoga, Group Head of Customer Experience at United Bank for Africa (UBA), commended the initiative, describing it as “a refreshing movement that puts people back at the center of business.”
