I want to protect the fresh and flexible hearts of people.

Our company supports 'April Dream,' a project that turns April 1st into a day to share dreams. This press release is the dream of 'Slime Work Design Inc.' Slime Work Design Inc. (Sapporo, Hokkaido; Representative: Mai Minami; URL: https://slime-work.com), which provides store attraction support and MEO tool operation assistance, upholds the philosophy of 'contributing to a society with less suffering by delivering vitality and ease to organizations, in order to keep people's hearts fresh and flexible.' We continue to provide daily support, aiming for a society where locally-rooted businesses can operate in their own way. There are people working hard every day. For customers, for the community, for their families. But before you know it, your peace of mind disappears. That is not your fault. The 'Woodcutter's Dilemma': You are so desperate to cut trees that you have no time to sharpen your axe. If you keep cutting like that, the axe will eventually break. Many local business owners are in this state. They are so busy with the work in front of them that they lose the capacity to think, 'Is this really okay?' We have been working alongside such people. Slime Work Design supports customer attraction for stores with physical locations. In particular, we focus on supporting the use of MEO tools. (Note: MEO tools are a general term for IT tools with features that prioritize store information in search results when searching for 'cafe near me' or 'beauty salon in XX city'.) Representative Minami has been involved with over 150 companies, including lodging facilities and restaurants. At a lodging facility on a remote island, we achieved a 180% increase in route searches and an annual sales increase of 110 million yen. We pursue numbers because we hope that space will be created beyond them. When work is organized (sales up and human burden reduced), space is created in people's hearts. When space is created, you can remain human. Beyond that, a fresh and flexible heart returns. Our dream: 'To contribute to a society with less suffering by delivering vitality and ease to organizations, in order to keep people's hearts fresh and flexible.' This is the philosophy and dream of Slime Work Design. We believe that small accumulations—an owner or employee feeling a little easier, people involved with that company or store smiling, and those who touch those smiles feeling a little warmer—lead to a society with less suffering. To make this dream a reality, we have accumulated various experiences in the field of hotels, inns, and restaurants, sales and support of MEO tools, activities as a Google Business Profile Silver Product Expert, and participation in books related to the hotel and restaurant industries. We are not a large company. But we think more seriously than anyone else about making the work in front of us easier. No two sites have the same challenges. Therefore, we do not provide the same support. However, when customer attraction is organized, space is created in the field and the organization. Slime Work Design will continue to do what we can to create that space, including advisory contracts, lectures, writing, field support, and the MEO tool operation support service 'Mapisil' released in March 2026, and we will seriously face each site to make our dreams a reality. May there be even one more person with a fresh and flexible heart.
