Interesting week with interesting experience on spendhbd project
Good morning my beautiful friends and family, hope we are doing good as we shop and get discount 馃.
Last week wasn't different from other weeks, I engage extensively in marketing after hosting Lagos hive meetup, There is need for more people and more businesses so I have to be out there in search of people and businesses.
On one if this days I had a beautiful experience I would love to share.
Interesting experience.
It was a very hot afternoon and I was going home after Marketing spendhbd project looking so tired and exhausted.
I decided to stop by @agizoobeauty and see how she is doing, there I met this beautiful black lady who wanted to get some extensions for her hair braiding, so I approached her and said "Why don't you join Hive and get some discount for your purchase" and she was surprised to hear that.
She was curious, so Agizoobeauty explained that she would actually get a discount, so she wanted to know more.
I sat down and gave a total breakdown of what hive is all about and the reason why she should join, immediately, she decided to read more about web3 and blockchain, and I sat back and watched her. After reading, she said but why haven't I heard of this platform till this moment? She works with a betting company, so she knows a lot of online platforms, but it's not as real as Hive.
It was a good moment for me because it opened an opportunity that I had been longing for, yea there is this supermarket that people always troop in to buy things, I have been there times without a number to talk about hive but no one gave me a listening ear, in fact, they insulted me the last time I showed up there saying am a scammer that's why I don't stop coming, so this lady i met @tshow does her weekend shopping in that said supermarket and before I onboarded her she promised to take me to the manager of the supermarket and convince him that spendhbd is no scam.
Onboarding and training.
While onboarding her, another woman walked in and wanted to join Hive as well, but the memory of her phone was so low she couldn't download Hivekeychain. She paid good attention while I was teaching @tshow how to use Hivekeychain and how to explore Hive to check for other content.
The video below shows the process and the smile on her face as she got to see that, yes, the discount was real.
She got her hair extensions from @agizoobeauty shop, and she got 12%discount on her first shopping with hbd.
@agizoobeauty
I was so happy, I saw more reason why I should always try and check on my listed businesses, this will always help to remind the business owners to discuss spending with their customers, even if they don't know that moment I am there, I will talk to the present customers about spendhbd.
This lady was not just happy, but she was motivated to tell her friends about the hive, and they were interested, but Lagos's busy life has made it challenging to meet with them and onboard them.
Yes, marketing might be challenging sometimes, but it still remains the only way to let the masses know about what you have for them, especially in a country like Nigeria, where crypto transactions are not well known,where the little they know about crypto is scam, so more work is needed to get people to come and convince them to join this project and enjoy themselves.
Thank you everyone Is still me @beauty197馃挄馃挄馃挄馃挄
