I already planned out this second week of June. There will be lots of promotional activities including workshops. This frost of the workshops was concluded few minutes ago at Happy Customer Supermarket. I have created awareness for this event today and happy that a total of 6 friends attended - 5 of them are newbies and get onboarded.
I was happy to explain to these friends what Hive is all about and the spendHBD project two. They were happy to listen to my presentation as I showed them the value that spendHBD brings. There was also interactive sections where everyone had the opportunity to ask questions about Hive, crypto and web3.
The new friends that signed up are @anurikaokoro, @success01, @prettychi, @giftlove, @tinababy
2 HBD worth of groceries gifted to newbies
While inviting the new friends to the workshop, I promised them they will receive 2 HBD each after the presentation to spend on groceries. It was a promise that was made difficult because of the announcement I received just 1 hour to the time of workshop.
The dev team announced thatbdistriator app won't be available to claim discounts and it was already late to cancel the workshop. I went ahead to live up to the promise of giving the new friends groceries worth 2 HBD as you can see in the pictures we took together. I however told them to come back in one week time to practice paying with the 2 HBD they will get and claiming discounts. They were happy to learn a lot about Hive and crypto. I helped them all install Hive Keychain and Ecency apps and showed them how to set up their profiles.
All the friends that came were happy to get their free groceries worth 2 HBD. They all promised to come back in a weeks time to learn more. We took group photographs as you can see below befoew they left.
Ongoing promotion and more workshops
Like I said earlier, I will be doing more workshops. The target is to have two workshops per week. To that end, I have kicked off campaigns to create awareness for the workshops - for spendHBD. Right now, I have an active sponsored Facebook ad for this. Already some people have started contacting me from the Facebook campaign. You can see the flier I made for it below.

The idea is to use all available channels to reach out to new people that would be interested in learning about HBD payments and discounts. I and my team @ngobaby and @empressjay would be running more awareness campaigns this week, including going to Radio to make presentations. Let us see how many new friends could be onboarded before the end of June 2025.
More inventory awaited
This week too, we are going to increase the inventory that we already have at Happy Customer Supermarket. We have discovered that with more inventory comes bigger sales and more HBD spent. We are still taking orders from Customers for those of them that couldn't finde what they are looking for. So if you are among our customers and there is something you wish to buy, do let me know.
Some of the inventory to look forward to includes crayfish, onions and other local food stocks. We hope to expand into things we have not sold before. That way, we are able to capture the interests of more customers and be able to sell more.
Our next workshop would be on Friday. We welcome all newbies that would come that time and hope to have distriator working by then to allow them pay with HBD and claim discounts.
