Simon first introduced this job to 5Dees.
This was
the first job of Simon Tsang before he became a salesperson at the shoe
shop. Together with Wilson Chow, they have started to distribute flyers
since 7th June. They are working for Caring International,
promoting a professional facial treatment exclusively for ladies. Therefore, their target is the working ladies.
Sometimes, they also
distribute leaflets to gentlemen. On the left is a sample of the flyer they
hand out.
Simon and Wilson have distributed the flyers for several days and they are good partners. A lot of jokes came from their brains. Below are some of the extracts from the message board of 5Dee.

However, Simon did not do this job for long. He quitted the job but recommended it to other 5Dees. That day, 4 5Dees and one from 5B joined the promotion line. They all scattered at different locations and started their "business". Benny worked near the company office, along Yun Ping Road. He sincerely asked the pedestrians to take one.
Many of the pedestrians were pleased to receive the flyers.
Miss Szeto helped a lot here as she received a lot of flyers from Benny.
You can see how Benny distributed the flyers here.
The next group of helpers was Jeffrey and Kenny. Actually, they had their own jobs but that day was a free day for them to earn extra money. They could get around $100 for this job! Therefore, they came to Russell Street, near Times Square. The pedestrian flow here was very great and they had to compete with other promotion salespersons along the street. The others were promoting mobile phones. Nevertheless, they did the job well as they could successfully achieve what they wanted. That afternoon was really hot! It's not easy to earn a buck here!

Below is a short movie clip to show how they worked.
We come a different location. Kevin Chan and Fat Hung of 5B wandered around the heart of Causeway Bay, the area around Sogo Department Store. He met a middle-aged woman there and they handed out flyers together. It seems they have become good friends. Kevin generously handed out the leaflets to all people around. Though some of them did not take the paper, he still wore a big smile on his face.
