\u201cYou can do it in one take. OK \u2014 ready?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perry Eakles, Southpoint Community Market<\/a>\u2019s store manager, sighs as digital marketing executive Tameca Harris encourages him to sing behind the counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe first one is really simple,\u201d Harris continues as she plays the Ramones\u2019 song on her phone. \u201cAll you\u2019re saying is, \u2018I believe in miracles!\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southpoint has been open only for eight months<\/a>, but the community market\u2019s reels<\/a> featuring Eakles have made him a TikTok and Instagram celebrity. The short video clips receive more than 13,000 hits a week, according to Harris, who owns Pretty In Branding<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat means that there are thousands of people who are seeing the reels,\u201d Harris explains. \u201cThey are seeing the videos and they will come to see us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
