It has really been a stressful week on the spendhbd marketing here in lagos state, sadly I couldn't list any new business and I couldn't onboard any new users, but I worked hard to see if I could have achieved that.
Breakdown of my weekly report
Monday was the beginning of the week and I started my week with getting more fliers ready because in most case some shop owners will demand to have the flyer while they will read through later, they will also demand for contact so as to contact you if they are interested.
I also got my spendhbd face cap to make my marketing more visible.
I was ready for marketing, on Monday I reached out to as many businesses as I could and most of them where just reluctant because they believe it is a way of scamming their businesses or there customers.
I also tried reaching out to schools like Yabatech with the motive that students will be the best to be interested in content creation and shopping to get discount but unfortunately , I couldn't even speak to any of the students because they were on exams.
I didn't just stop, I visited some cosmetic businesses in yaba because I thought that since ladies spend a lot in their skin care routine that they will be absolutely happy to get discount, sadly the business owners turned down my proposal.
This negative response all through the week has really given me so much concern, I don't like it when am not getting a positive response in whatever am doing.
Since Nov 2024 I became a trusted local guide this week has been the worse of all, a week I couldn't sign up anyone and couldn't onboard a business, its quite so discouraging.
Well in all I have been shopping for what I need and have been getting my cash back, so am always grateful for #distriator that keeps this project bubbling, I was also excited that @obehi1 that signed up since November last year was able to recover her keys and also shop to get her discount.
Next plan
I will never allowed some wired experience to discourage me from searching for users and businesses, yesterday I visited one of the biggest market in Lagos state known as Oyibo market, is a market where all types of food stuff are sold, there are also sections for grains and vegetables, while in that market i was thinking how the customers that come to buy from that market can benefit from spendhbd and how strategic I can be to make them believe and want to give a try , because just a one try convinces many.
I also have plans of visiting university of Lagos state once more to see if I can get some student who understands and who would be interested, then I would also love to try another big market in Lagos state called Idumota market where there are so many plaza that sells so many things.
One good thing that spend hbd project has helped me is to aquire confidence and boldness to speak with people even when some are rude or are accusing me of being a scammer just like yesterdays experience I was still bold because I know spend hbd is real and not a scam.
I wish everyone I meet believes and tries it out am sure they will be the to invite more people.
Thank you #spendhbd ahead ahead we move.
Don't get discouraged ! You're doing an amazing job, but occasionally you'll get a quiet week, it's just the nature of marketing. Keeping the people you've already onboarded active is just as important as finding new people, and I can see you're doing good with that.
Have you looked around at who is posting on Hive to see if there are any Hivers you could talk to in the Lagos area who aren't yet using Distriator ?
