throughout the process i realised i had a lot of stoning time, thats when i started relating giving out flyers with things that we could better comprehend. Such as people and relationships.

so i decide to share here for the future me to refer to, 8 things(i know i had 10 >_<) i have learnt through flyer giving.

1. If you try hard enough someone will definitely have a look - you see not everybody likes flyers, but if you try hard enough someone will definitely take a piece of your paper and read it. they may not like what they read, but at least they read it.

2. what kind of flyer you are will attract what kind of people - in this case i was giving out Coach, Kate Spade and Burberry sales, so i was attracting those DAMNED TAI TAIs! and also occasionally a few rich teenage girls. so the jizz of it is to always be a coach, Kate Spade, Burberry flyer.

3. Be understanding - not tai tai wants to look at Coach, Kate spade and Bubberry, be understanding, some may already own one, or a few they just may not be the type that they want to buy at the moment, perhaps they are looking for higher end bags like LV or Chanel. Don't hate them just because they don't want you, no need to generate unnecessary hatred. Be understanding.

4. The Arrogant - people who don't give a fuck, they assume that they don't need everything and there's no flyer that would generate interest for them, so they don't even bother looking. for such people, don't give a fuck about them either, its their lost, you could be a 90% off LV flyer but they are the idiots who are not bothered, these people will regret in a week or two when their friends actually took the flyer and went to the sale... if you know what i mean...

5. The SORE - these people probably have been scammed by too many flyers in their life and they no longer have faith in them, it is possible to persuade them that you are not like any other flyers but its gonna take time, don't bother, they just seek pity, don't give a fuck, i am in no way relating this to any personal experience, HAHAHAHAHHA

6. Don't degrade yourself - don't make yourself sound cheaper than you already are.

what do i mean by that? well, usually aunties and uncles will not even bother browsing through coach, kate spade and burberry bags, however when you mention the word sale, they start forming long queues such as the H&M line at orchard road to HAVE A LOOK, nope, they are not evening buying, they are just having a look. these people may further degrade you than you already are. When the rich taitais see so many people grabbing for it, they are going to see you as a lower class and perhaps you are not longer a katespade but a guess.

i know i am making sense don't doubt me.

7. You are not going to like everyone you attract - people may like your flyers but you may not like them, frankly speaking you don't have a choice, if they like you, they will come up to you and take your flyers.... take..your... flyers... why does this metaphor seem to be moving out of place. no matter. well if they like your flyers they will buy your stuff, and you'll still benefit in some way, so don't reject them. go with the flow

8. Where you are - see, i was giving out flyers at suntec, and slightly richer people go to suntec, if i were to give out coach flyers at some heartland, the turnout would probably be horrendous. likewise if you're in Temasek poly, you'll be exposed to many people of your age if i may say, better looking, than if you are in changi prison (i know this is such a bad comparison) you'll be exposed to criminals and relatively bad people.
