Should Flyers be Banned?
Regarding to the statement above, it made me sit and really think hard to the answer. Giving out flyers is one of the ways for marketers to advertise their products and services. That is really the main objective of flyers. However, is it really effective?
Giving out flyers provide jobs for some people. Those who give out flyers will be paid by the company itself. For example, if we go to any MRT station or bus interchange, we can see a couple of people giving out flyers near the escalators. Well, i rarely take those flyers as i will ended up throwing it into the bin. So, as not to waste any papers, i decided not to take it. :D
But depends on who giving it out. Sometimes if i see that the person giving out the flyers was an old man or woman, i'll definitely take it as i know that they're doing it for a living. Hehehehe. And like i said, the flyers will end up in the bin.
Lets get back to the topic. Should it be banned? I agree if it. Somehow, like i said, giving out flyers is not really effective as not only me, but majority of the people in S'pore will end up throwing it into the bin, or worse, litter. If you walk around the interchange or near the MRT station, you can see that there are flyers everywhere lying on the ground. Isn't S'pore is one of the cleanest country? So why do we litter? Flyers are somehow useful to some consumers, and also it provide jobs for some people. So, if you know that you going to litter, i suggest that you don't grap those flyers!
Thus, to conclude everything, my opinion is not to banned flyers. :)
