It's a pleasure to report that another local business in Aba has successfully been listed to accept HBD as their means of payment. This is my first listing as a local guide and I wouldn't have done it without the help of 
Challenges Along The Way
We had a business place in mind where we wanted to talk to the owners to see if they will buy our idea but unfortunately, we were turned down. The lady asked us to return some other time as she seemed rather not interested in what we had to say. We left her shop, the three of us and made our way to two others shops with the same outcome but this time, the owners were curious to know how it worked but the timing wasn't exactly great so we also scheduled for another day.
His Grace Super Shop
At some point
The grocery store was bustling with activity, having a wide range of products and household essentials neatly stacked up on their shelves. From their fresh bakes of bread, to their snacks and drinks for refreshing moments, down to their cosmetics and skin care products.
Adding HBD As A Payment Option
One could easily get almost whatever they want at the store. We were greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere the moment we walked in . Good enough, the location of the business was at a very spacious place, giving customers the access to walk in and pick up whatever they wanted with ease. They also have a little interior seating area with comfortable seats in case customers would want to relax a little bit while they're shopping. The shop accepts both cash and electronic payments and the good news is that HBD has been included too! That means all our active shoppers in Aba can walk up there at any time and make their purchases using HBD and claiming the cashback discounts at the same time. A stress free payment technology that we all are rooting for.
Setting Up Their Profile
What impressed me the most was how the shop owner welcomed us and gave us an ear. She didn't know about Hive or the SpendHBD community prior to our visit, but quite surprising she didn't need the whole day to get convinced. We explained to her how the entire thing works and how much value we were helping her bring for her business. We answered all her questions to a clear extent and in no time, she permitted us to take pictures of the shop and what she had to offer.
She didn't like the idea of putting her face out here but she was in support of every other thing. She understood the system, over here it's the festive season and a lot of people will be making more purchases to get ready for season's celebrations. Imagine when they hear they can buy more with less? Very value oriented for her business and will also help to create more awareness for the SpendHBD community.
We set up their profile on distriator so if you look up for them now, they'll pop up. I also didn't forget to make my first transaction at the store, getting some light snacks and bread. I quickly scanned the receipt and got my discount immediately. She was really amazed on how the whole thing works and she was also happy to hear that we will be visiting her as group in one of our SHOKiN days.
I encourage all our shoppers in Aba to visit His Grace Super Shop and spend some HBD! We're still on the goal of getting more businesses to accept HBD their means of payment and also onboard more users and shoppers to the immediately. She was really amazed on how the whole thing works and she was also happy to hear that we will be visiting her as group in one of our SHOKiN days.
ecosystem. Looking forward to doing all that and more,till then let's keep shopping!
