I am delighted to present to you friends the result of more than 4 months of thinking, planning and preparation. This project led by me and a few anonymous investors is called Happy Customer Supermarket. The main aim apart from making profit as a business, is to create a more conducive environment for SpendHBD promotion and new user onboarding.
Happy Customer Supermarket is kicking off officially in less than 24 hours and it would be nice to introduce it to all our friends and explain the motivation behind this effort.
The challenge - and a solution!
While its not been a tough job to list businesses, it has not always been that easy to host workshops in the business environment. Its either that the place is so busy with shopping activities or the business has no space to host many people. This has been a challenge to hosting organized workshops in or within the business environment. Thats not all.
Another challenge is that potential new users are not so comfortable waiting in a place where they are not comfortable. As such, its tough to hold their attention for example in a place where there are not enough seats. These are challenges that have made it difficult to speed up onboarding. So these challenges made me think about a project - a business where new users feel at home spending HBD and a nice place to sit, relax and learn.
The above are some of the reasons that made ne think about converting my big office space into a groceries business where we can gather new users, onboard them and ket them do shopping all in one place. That is what we wish to achieve with Happy Customer Supermarket.
Happy Customer Supermarket - the masses are coming.
This project is designed to change the face of Hive and HBD adoption in Aba, Nigeria. Its going to be a platform where regular Hive mentorship and spendHBD workshops. As a business, our first and main payment method is of course HBD. Almost all transactions will be processed in our HBD so users could claim discounts.
Regarding quality, we are sourcing our goods from the companies that make them. This is done to guarantee optimal quality. The most important aspect of this project is making sure that new users find a place to feel relaxed and at home to learn about Web3 and spendHBD. To that effect, I already have enough sits and desk to sit and wait for their accounts to created. If they feel comfortable, it will be easy to join Hive almost instantly.
The most interesting aspect is they these newbies could do their first shopping right away. Before now, we normally take them to the closest business which is not all that a comfortable experience. But now, they will be able to walk in and find everything in one place - both goods to buy and a place to learn about Hive.
With their first experience looking great, it will be easy to let them know about the many other businesses that accept HBD. I made a video of the new place which you can see below.
