It has been a little quiet month of April for me. Running a web3 business powered by the HBD Stablecoin has had its toll. But looking at the numbers for April, I still feel accomplished. Customers are not just spending HBD and claiming discounts, they are smiling. Going back to numbers, you can see that 569 HBD has been spent in Happy Customer Supermarket in April. And we still have few days to go.
The month of May 2025 could be another month of activity for me and the friends in Aba. Later in this post, I will give you a little insight into what's being planned for this month and why we need everyone to be part of it. First of all, see more stats for April.
Numbers don't lie
So if you look at this screen grab above from distriator app, you will see that customers have spent a combined 569 HBD in Happy Customer Supermarket. Compared to the 678 spent in March, we are a little shy of 100 HBD to hit that height of last month. Well nothing is impossible and April still has few days to go. I really hope to hit or even surpass the figures of March.
Looking a little further to see how we are doing, I checked other stats in April and I could hardly feel bad about what we have done. Take a look at the chat below.
As you can see above this is, this is the number of transactions done in the last two weeks. Happy Customer Supermarket recorded an impressive 53 transactions. That places it at the second position for all businesses listed in Distriator app. Isn't that something to cheer? Hold on, there is something even more impressive!
The chat above shows how much HBD claimed at various businesses in the last two weeks. Happy Customer Supermarket took the top spot this time around. 66 HBD has been claimed there in the past two weeks. That is again something really commendable. It shows that more customers are coming around regularly to buy and spend HBD. That consistency is good for business and great for Hive in terms of retention.
As we see out the last few days of April, we will try to improve the stats above. It would be great to beat our previous records and set new ones. Of course, I and the team will try our best to make things happen before the month runs out. Each new month should be another ladder to attain greater heights. I hope April lives up to that billing. However, there are some interesting stuffs to look forward to!!!!
May 2025 - two promotional events to anticipate
As a web3 business leader, I plan ahead and look out for opportunities to promote Hive. The month of May promises to be an exciting one. Two major promotional events has been planned. Here is a quick peak into each of them.
The first event is a special promotional activity to onboard talented young women into Hive. I have codenamed it Hive4Her. The idea is to look out for creative and skilled women to bring over to the Hive blockchain. We would be looking at skills like singing, fashion designing, hairstyling, programming, cooking, weaving, makeup artists, etc. The above is not an exhaustive list. But it just shows that having a good skill to showcase to the blockchain would make any female attractive to Hive4Her.
This is a huge project that we will like all the friends to get involved. We will exhaust all marketing avenues to reach out to these young women and make them join Hive. Digital marketing, Radio broadcasts, word of mouth campaigns, networking, going to institutions and many other strategies would enable us reach out the target audience. Background work has already started for this event, you can see more than 200 fliers printed below.
Hive4Her will kickoff on 1st May, 2025 and will be a 1 year project. I hope to finish off preparations ahead of launching date and announce the project as planned. Stay tinned for more
The second event is a trade exhibition which will happen on 4th May, 2025. I saw this promotion post on Instagram and I quickly bookmarked it.
The exhibition which will happen in Aba is organized by Priceless Hair. My research shows that this business has been touring cities in Nigeria with a trade exhibition for Ladies hair. I have been trying to reach out to the organizers. However, I plan to attend this exhibition in branded Hive gear with all the friends that would be happy to go. We will try to speak with Priceless Hair, onboard them to SpendHBD, and let guests pay with HBD to enjoy discounts.
I hope that the event would provide a platform for people to hear about Hive and HBD and get onboard. The exhibition will take place at an event center 20 minutes away from Happy Customer Supermarket.
I use this medium to invite all the friends in the house to attend. Its a huge opportunity to buy hair with double discounts. Most important, it's an opportunity to give Hive a deserved presence so that we can onboard more businesses and users. Looking forward to seeing you all there!!!!
In conclusion, the month of April will soon end and we are eager to end it on high. And for the month of May, two powerful promotional events will set the pace to greater things to come.
I invite you to be a part of something special as they happen in the days, weeks and months ahead of us.
