Greetings everyone, I am committed to sharing with you the reports and progress I have made so far concerning the Hive hubs project. Although the progress has been slow due to some personal challenges, I am still working tirelessly to complete the project as planned.
Hive hubs at Hubmore supermarket.
I have spent a few times at Hubmore supermarket for Hive Hub, and I wasn't able to onboard anyone, so I couldn't give a report on that because there is no success recorded yet.
People give different excuses like they are not ready, they are in a hurry, and all the rest of it. Nigeria, especially Lagos state, is kind of lazy when it comes to accepting or adopting something new, so I am not disappointed.
I already have in mind printing some promotional materials that will help send a message to not just people who walk into the supermarket but also people in different areas around Aguda Surulere.
The motive is to get as many as possible to know about Hive and visit the venue for onboarding and training by themselves, and hopefully, we will record success.
Fliers are ready.
Finally, I was able to get some funds to pay for designing and printing the flyers, It took me hours to assist the printer in editing and printing the flyers and we have a good number of flyers to work with now.
Onboarding Great solution's business
While Great Solution was getting my job done I decided to tell him about Hive again and how his business can benefit from Hive through spendhbd project, before now his major concern is that he won't have time to write but I was able to convince him and tried to onboard his business, we took pictures to confirm that he accepted me to onboard his business, unfortunately after onboarding @distriator seems not to be working for us to practice how to spend hbd I promise to come back when the site is back to mentor him more.
Marketing with the fliers.
It was already noon and schools had dismissed when I left Great Solution's business so I decided to do some marketing, to officially invite people to Hive Hub at Hubmore supermarket with the flyers bearing the date and time for the next Hive Hub
Date is every Friday
Time is 1pm-6pm
More marketing plans are in my schedule to get more people invited for Hive training, I spoke to as many as I could and some promised that they will visit the Hubmore supermarket on Friday to learn more about hive.
Teaching about hive is a very important thing to do to get mass adoption on Hive, get more people to use hbd to shop and also attract real investors to come join us on hive.
Next week I will try and get more promotional materials like banner, stickers and exercise book for people who will attend the Hub, I am taking things gradually with the goal to achieve success.
Thank you all sponsors @starkerz @theycallmedan and many more, we appreciate you so much.
Success comes sometimes when we least expect it... don't be discouraged, keep pushing, it will come.
Don't you think that the duration is long and could possibly discourage attendees, especially first timers... talking from experience. You could break it in segment , 1-3, 3-5 , people don't like held on at a point for so long. Especially when they've not really understood how the system works. I suggest you review the time and timing.
Wishing you success in your plans.
