Fans of the star - known as Siwanators - had to buy a bow at Claire's accessories store in the Bullring to get one of 250 coveted wristbands entitling them to a meet and greet at a specially-branded double decker bus in St Martin's Square.
Many shoppers wondered what was going on as queues of children, all wearing the oversized bows, formed at the shop and at the bus.
JoJo was in the city from 1pm to 3.30pm, posing for photographs with those who were lucky enough to meet her in person.

Some families arrived very early in the morning to be first to get a bow and wristband when Claire's opened especially early at 7am.
And they weren't just from Birmingham but from all over the UK.
Among them was superfan Leah-Jade Davies from Cardiff, who was bedecked in a cascade of big colourful bows clipped all the way down through her hair.

The giant bows became so popular in the UK that several schools banned them, saying they didn't comply with rules on uniforms.
Claire’s has previously organised meet and greets with JoJo Siwa in the USA, visiting Chicago, Miami and Minnesota.
Hind Palmer, global brand marketing and communications director for Claire's, told the Birmingham Mail: "Claire's couldn't be more pleased at the successful outcome of the Birmingham Meet and Greet with JoJo Siwa.
"Her fans were thrilled to meet her and couldn't contain their excitement!
"We look forward to our continued thriving partnership with JoJo Siwa and Nickelodeon."
JoJo Siwa was also in Manchester earlier this week, where she told the Manchester Evening News: "This is my first time in the UK and it definitely feels like a foreign country to me, but I really love it here.
"I got to meet so many people, everyone was so nice, and I think I almost had a British accent by the end!
"I have loved bows my whole life, so we just said ‘why not do bows?’ and they have been really successful which is amazing.
"It is so cool seeing people wearing them in the street. I knew people would like them because I like them so much, but I didn’t know they would love them so much."
