Topic: Do you now how intimidating it is to be the only foreigner on the street, handing out flyers...

Anonymous A started this discussion 11 years ago #44,101

...and to be stared at, ogled, smiled at, looks of shock, questions in local dialect that you do not understand, etc.? It's intimidating as hell! But dammit, I am going to hand out a shitload of flyers today. I am going to do it!

When someone hands out a flyer, they're basically saying "Here, you throw this away."

I do too, but I do not know how otherwise to advertise my product in a city of 7 million people.

Try buying an ad online, or in a newspaper.

Too expensive. Handing out thousands of flyers, as a foreigner, gathers interest.

How much does a flyer cost??

Anonymous A (OP) replied with this 11 years ago, 1 minute later, 8 hours after the original post[^] [v] #582,954

@previous (dw)
The equivalent of less than one US penny.

dw replied with this 11 years ago, 1 minute later, 8 hours after the original post[^] [v] #582,957

and you have to hand it out so I would guess online ads would be a lot more effective.

Flyers seem really outdated. Why not try the twirling sign thing.

But one would have to find a site that most locals look at, and that is expensive.

Do you ever feel like Godzilla walking down the street, Matt?

I think they should be more afraid of you than vice versa.

They are afraid of me physically, but as we all know, psychological fear is much worse than physical fear.

Do you fear them psychologically?

@previous (H)
Yes, but only because it is quite intimidating being the only foreigner. Overall, Chinese people are VERY nice to foreigners, so I do not individually fear them.

Do you recognize their ethnic superiority? Superior intelligence? Does that cause you to be intimidated?

Any REAL poster is allowed to discuss food. Posters named after my dead relatives are not. Go register with a REAL account, and I will be happy to have you.
