Jerry And I Doing A Little Gorilla Warfare Style Blockchain Promotion 😜 So last ...

(Edited)

... year I made it a mission to meet a Steemian and fell short with not even a local one to be found. This year I’m taking a slightly different approach and as always starting in my trial grounds of Smoke.io and as a Witness trying to do my part in bringing our platform to the people.

We headed out at about 8 am grabbed breakfast at Tim Hortons, coffee and farmers wrap for me and plain old fashioned donut for Jerry, then headed to Walmart as a photo centre door crasher 😝 template used was created by another member as a cannabis culture take over of “hump day” to “hemp day”. So I printed 100 copies of satin 4x6 photos splitting each down the middle to make a total of 100 of each design. Total cost $24 and an hour wait since she had to cut them for me, not to bad and should last me through a decent round of promotion.

Today for my gorilla warfare promotion I started simple, perfect my craft of being sneaky... long story short dispensaries have been resistant to handing them out but if I just consistently leave some behind it’s bound to end up in the right hands eventually, right?... beginning with gas stations that have some cannabis related products and the like before working my way up to real discretion.

The first of four for the day was 2 cards in each of the washrooms stuffed in perfect little signs on the back of each door, place was packed at 10am and I felt weird doing anything else.

Second store was around the coffee area while I grabbed myself another, again I felt so weird when I went to take a snap of the cards in place I wigged right out. I am so unpracticed at this whole keeping my cool under pressure thing. I used to talk to the police with bag full of illegals and not sweat but here I am sweating over some none illegal promotional pieces 🤣🤣🤣

Third I manage a little slight of hand by the till slipping them into the Coffee News paper stand you see at most restaurants and gas stations around here. I know they won’t get stocked till next week now and seemed like a safe bet to not be thrown out.

Fourth gas station I left a few around the Keno/Lotto area right by the ATM... chances are with that dispensary across the road someone will be coming here for money first 😉 I know for a fact they are still cash only and no ATM inside.

What I learned is that each place will have it’s own challenges and areas which are highly visible yet remain mostly undisturbed. I will need to starting making regular appearances at places and get to know each of the staff a little more personally thus allowing me to go mostly unnoticed if I seem to hang around. Furthermore I learned that Jerry is the perfect talking point while walking him around the gas station, most people want to talk to me about him and gives the perfect opportunity to segway into the #happyhempday cannabis cards I keep seeing everywhere 😜

Jerry definitely enjoyed all the attention, stoners all smell super familiar to him 😘 he’s great for identifying my promotional targets!
