Behind The Scenes || Spend HBD Uyo Team

Growth doesn't happen by chance. It takes intention, commitment, and working together. For the Uyo team, our progress has been shaped by effort, design, work, strategic conversations, and field research — all aimed at building a stronger presence for Hive and SpendHBD here in Uyo. This post highlights the background activities that have been helping the Uyo SpendHBD team gain structure and visibility.

From creating promotional materials to connecting as a team and laying the groundwork for future steps.

Banner, Flyers & Roll-Up Design – Planting Our Flag

So we started off by designing and printing:

• A 4x6 feet banner displaying Hive and SpendHBD identity.
• A roll-up banner ideal for indoor/outdoor use during meetups and outreach events.
• A set of flyers to complement our awareness efforts.

These materials serve as both visual identity and promotional tools, helping us explain Hive and the power of spending HBD wherever we go.

You easily get excited when you have your piece being printed and delivered with these type of fresh ink when you are done with your design and then carefully even if not perfectly fitted.
The boss of this press, I have talked to her about Hive but she didn't seem to have the time to handle the business, workers, added with being a crypto trader amongst other things. But I have told her a lot about Hive and the SpendHBD project —it would make so much good to have this place as a registered Merchant, accepting payment with HBD.

The WhatsApp Group Call – Where Ideas Took Off

As a team, we arranged for a meeting more like an audio Seminar. With the time it was set, it freed everyone both business class and none to tie into call. The call lasted for 1HR. During the time period, we had a speaker who:

• Talked about creating quality content on Hive,
• Discussed branding the SpendHBD t-shirts,
• Shared tasks and brainstormed future events.

To grow, align everyone to stay motivated to push further. Many supported the idea of making a provision for the SpendHBD T-shirt in HBD & fiat.

Market Survey – Preparing For Branding The T-shirt

With branding still in mind, I took it a step further by going on a market survey to explore options for t-shirt printing and promotional item branding. First, I asked the lady at the press and then moved to make my research. I visited two key places in Uyo:

• T-Shirt Village – A local spot known for a variety of t-shirts in different styles, sizes and qualities. I gathered insights on material types, bulk pricing, and availability. Especially the size and the material. It had to be breathable and comfortable.

• Branding Plaza – A center where printing and branding services are offered. I assessed their printing techniques, design services, and cost structures. With all these information, it was easy to do. It is to be ready before the week runs out.

[This survey was purely to gather information and understand the landscape, so when the time comes, we’re equipped with real data and contacts.]

Staying Connected is How the Team Keeps Growing

One of the strengths of the Uyo SpendHBD team is our communication. Despite being in different places and managing different schedules, we continue to stay connected through:

• Regular WhatsApp conversations,
• Idea sharing and updates from individual members,
• A strong sense of purpose to promote Hive and the SpendHBD movement in Uyo.

~ Conclusion ~

From printing of flyers to banners and roll-ups. These are things that are used for promotional activities and these has been going on the more ever since , but looking at the chart, this project has led many to Hive and will continue to — the real change is from each one of us.
