How I Find My First Customers When Nobody Know Me For Agbor

For my first week for Agbor, I dey fear well well.

I don open shop, I don arrange everything, but nobody dey come. People dey waka pass, dem dey look, dem no dey enter. For my mind I dey ask, "Shey I don make mistake?"

Na that time I understand say, no be only to open shop be business. People must first know you dey exist.

So I do 3 things:

*1. I Talk To My Neighbours First*

I no stay inside shop dey wait. I waka go greet people for my street. I tell them, "I be your neighbour, I just open shop for here, abeg come check am." Na so dem start to know my face.

*2. I Post For My WhatsApp Status Everyday*

Every morning I go post wetin I sell, with price. I no dey shame. Some people dey view, dem no dey talk, but dem dey watch. Later na those same people come buy.

*3. I Give Small Discount For First Buyers*

For the first people wey buy from me, I give them small discount. No be because I get plenty money, na because I want them to taste am and come back again. And e work. Dem come back, dem even bring their friends.

My first customer na one woman for my street. She buy small thing, she smile, she talk say, "I go come again." That day, I happy pass. E give me hope say e go work.

*Lesson Wey I Learn:*

No shame for marketing your own business. If you no talk, nobody go know you dey sell. Your first customers fit dey very close to you, na your neighbours and your status viewers.

If you dey start new business for Agbor or anywhere, no wait make customers find you. Go find them first.
