I had planned to enter The biggest Smartphone market in my city Aba to introduce them to SpendHBD. I was able to take a step today and it represents some progress. I successfully listed a shop and they joined this project. I also mentored a newbie and took her to shop at Gods own supermarket.
I really feel bullish about this SpendHBD project which is why I am doing my based to expand its adoption and use-cases.
A little about Anthex Int'l
Anthex Int'l is a small business that deals on Smartphones from many brands. It is one of the many businesses in St. Michaels street that deals on brand new phones. The business has been in existence for more than 18 years according to the Owner Mr. Michael. It has customers from within the city and beyond that usually trust them when it comes to smartphones of all models.
Anthex thrives on quality of product and excellent customer service. While it is a small shop compared to many other bigger ones in the district, it boasts its share of the bustling phone market. Some of the brands on display when I arrived includes Techno, Infinix, Itel, Samsung, Oppo and a few other brands.
I explained how this SpendHBD project would benefit the business and how it works. The owner was eager to start accepting crypto in his shop as he also has a good knowledge of cryptocurrencies. After he was fine with the explanations I gave about SpendHBD, I signed up an account for the business. I then when on to list the business. I promised to return the next day to sign up any customers that will be available since I was in a hurry to attend to other activities.
I made a small video of the business as you can see below.

I also captured some shots of the business. Check them out below:
St. Michaels street is a popular hub in the city known for Sales, repairs and servicing of GSM phones and accesories. Its always a very busy location with Phone shops on both sides of the Street. Anytime a person in the city has an issue with their device, this hub is the first place to come. I managed to make a small video showing phone shops, dealers and brands on both sides of the street. There is an estimated more than 300 phone shops in this place. Watch the video below.

Signing up a newbies - @onyifrank
Once I was done with listing Anthex, I rushed down to Gods own supermarket to keep an appointment with @onyifrank, a newbie that I already promised to take shopping. She already came to my office previously and got mentorship about Hive and SpendHBD. She has also written her introduction post, waiting to do her first shopping before publishing it.
Once I got to God's own supermarket, she was already there together with @ebonymama her friend that introduced her to Hive. @ijebest was also there to do here shopping. I quickly helped @onyifrank to sign up an account. She then set up her profile with my assistance. Then she downloaded Hive Keychain wallet and it all fast and easy.
Next, she did her shopping and bought a few things. I sent her some HBD in exchange for fiat which she used to pay and claim her discount. She was happy as the whole process didnt take long. After we were done shopping, she did her introduction post too. You can see the link below:
I took some pictures with the 3 friends that all made purchases at God's Own supermarket. I will like to share some pictures with you below:
Finally
It was an exhaustive day of SpendHBD promotion. I had to find a place to eat and rest a bit as it was already 4.20pm. Its SpendHBD all day. I returned to my office and closed up for the day.
I invite you my audience to bring your friends and let them join the SpendHBD project. Its a cool way to adopt Hive and crypto too. They get discounts for all their purchases paid with HBD. See you on ShoKiN day 5 soonest!!!
A very impressive step! Your courageous steps and resilience keeps encouraging me to stay consistent on this platform. This is a great step! More wins ahead!
