From November 6-8, Maui Wowi served up smoothie samples to attendees of the the National Association of Campus Activities, aka NACA, in Hartford, CT. Campus Activites Planners from various colleges and universities from all over New England and some parts of New York were in attendance. It was a great way for Maui Wowi to connect with one of it's core customers: Colleges! We set up the portable Tiki Hut, served sample sizes of of our smoothies and spread the Aloha Spirit throughout the Connecticut Convention Center. Even I was surprised at how well we were received. At most times, there was a line of students waiting to try a sample and receive a Hawaiian Lei. Many students recognized us from events we've done at their colleges, but for those who weren't yet familiar, I was excited for them to actually see Maui Wowi in action, Tiki Hut and all, and actually taste our delicious smoothies. Virtually everyone commented on what a unique concept Maui Wowi is as well as how delicious the Black Raspberry, Pina Colada and Mango Orange samples they tasted were.
While there, I met some amazing people and saw some amazing performers. There were comedians, rock bands, hip-hop artists, and all kinds of cool "Toys" for students to bring on campus and entertain their fellow student body with at events. What people seemed to most like about Maui Wowi, was that we can either be a part of an event, or be the event itself. I also heard comments about how flexible we are and customizable for each colleges' specific event needs. From drink combinations to equipment. I also spoke with a few students about having Maui Wowi at their Orientation Programs for incoming freshman. Maui Wowi can be a great ice-breaker for those scared little Frosh who don't know anyone yet. While they are waiting in line for a delicious smoothie, they get to talking and begin making their first friends in college that will hopefully last a lifetime. Now, that's the Aloha Spirit!
