At the end of each business week, we always swap some of our HBD and power up. Of course, you know we power up everyday and eager to do this for the next 1 year. The aim is not just to show we are here long-term, but we are eager to keep our customers happy - by the way it's Happy Customer Supermarket right?
Swapped 33 HBD for Hive
So we just converted some HBD to Hive - a total of 33. This number includes some portion of our profit for the business week. Staking it is a great way to grow our business over time so that our customers would always see some good support from us on their review posts. Of course, we are also encouraging our most regular customers to choose this path of staking regularly
You can see above that we have staked 150 HBD. The screenshot also captures how far we have done this week in terms of our daily power up. It's a long way from here to 1 year, but we are really eager and very committed to pursuing this course to see how far we can go in building stake within that period.
Keeping the brand and onboarding
Since the past few weeks, we have been making efforts on branding and encouraging customers to see the importance of always putting on the Hive brand. It's interesting to see a good number of the regular customers always wearing their face cap or T-shirt or both.
The Hive brand deserves all the publicity it could get and we are very much poised to play our role in that aspect. If it's possible for every customer to arrive in a Hive gear or two, that would be making some strong mark on people that see them. It could even strike up a conversation about Hive. So we use this medium again to encourage everyone to always appear in Hive colors. It's going to make some huge difference.
We are preparing and almost ready to kickoff our Hive classes for newbies. It woukd be an interesting mentorship journey to take new customers from zero to a high knowledge of Hive. This week, we already have two newbies join us. Feel free to welvome them 
Get ready for September HPUD
The 1st of every month represents a huge opportunity to participate in powering up as a community. It's called Hive Power Up Day (HPUD). Between now and 1st September 2025, we have about 8 days. Do you have plans to stake some Hive and enjoy bigger influence? Are you ready to show everyone that you are here long-term? It's worth your efforts to power up on HPUD.
So here are ways to get ready. Try to keep most of your HBD gotten from discounts so you could have something to swap for Hive and power up. Also, be social on Hive and create content. When you have something published, it's an opportunity to earn some HBD to power up. And then, you could buy Hive with fiat.
We all have about 8 days to prepare for HPUD. It's a huge opportunity and we encourage all our customers and friends not to miss it
