We recently connected with Samuel Skaggs and have shared our conversation below.
Samuel , appreciate you joining us today. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
The Initial plan for Kraken Pro-Wrestling was due to a need of a wrestling production in this area of south Georgia. In Tifton, GA The prowrestling scene is uncultivated and could prove to be an area to be hungry for live entertainment.
So with using my resources and friends to bring this project together, over time we have gained not only a following, but a community of friends and fans who want this project to grow.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
Kraken pro-wrestling is an athletic showcase of characters and stars that allows those same athletes to work their craft in front of a live audience and on a TV style presentation. With each live event, the fans get to experience the awesome action and interactions that make every event special. Our weekly episodes that we provide for free on YouTube allow fans from far and wide to learn about the stars of Kraken Pro-Wrestling and follow the stories that make our product so special
How’d you meet your business partner?
Larry Sikes approached me one day at Gray Ghost Comics (a local business that sponsors our promotion.) Larry has worked with the Alzheimer’s Association for over 10 years and has done charity events in the past. Last May, Larry would hold 2 events and fund them for us to be able to pay talent, and my staff and would hold the event in a building he would rent. Larry was hooked with the presentation and would join the team and I would appoint Larry as my right hand man. With his experience and ability to connect with the community, he has taught me so much as a leader and as a friend
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
We went from 56 followers on fb to 2000followers across all platforms with a steady grassroots style promotion. A joint effort with our talent and staff has grown our following and we try our best to spread the word of each event, each community effort, and each episode.
The best advice I have is: know your audience. Broad spread is the goal, not the start. Understand your niche, understand your community and never be afraid to talk about the product you believe in.
