Outdoor Promotion at Toa Payoh Hub

Back from our outdoor promotion of the Duck Race over at Toa Payoh Hub... At first I thought it was Toa Payoh HDB Hub... but actually it was Toa Payoh Hub and near the NTUC FairPrice. Haha ~

Anyway for today... Ms Kwa, Cindy and I were "on duty", we had actually volunteered to help out for the day...Last outdoor promotion anyway. ;) We were given permit to carry out our promotion at Toa Payoh Hub near the NTUC FairPrice, so we wandered around that area.

I would especially like to comment on some members of the public who came forward to support the Duck Race from us. There was a girl who approached Ms Kwa and she bought 6 tickets and 6 souvenir ducks right away. =) And another lady whom I sort of going to approach...but in the end I think she was the one approaching me instead...Haha!! She told me that she has been very supportive of this Duck Race in previous years and has also been collecting a series of coloured rubber duckies in her home. She adopted a racing duck from us and bought a rubber duck with blue beak which she felt that she had not collected one with this colour...

However, during the start around 12pm...sales wasn't that good. Note sure why... Maybe more and more people have heard about the duck race and some have already adopted a duck for this year's SCS Great Singapore Duck Race? Hahaha... =D

Yup... Anyway, thanks to all of you who have adopted a duck from us, especially during our outdoor promotions in various areas around Singapore over the past weeks. Also thanks Cindy for joining us at Toa Payoh Hub this afternoon. Hehex... Me starting semester at NUS next week le...seldom get to see you all le...

Our Last Outdoor Promotion for Duck Race?

Hey peeps...

We are going to have another outdoor promotion...and this might be the last one for us... basically... exams are coming for most of the student volunteers...and the best reasons... we are on the last lap towards completing our 3000 Adoption Certificates for this SCS Great Singapore Duck Race 2007 student chapter contribution from NYP. ;)

Well... not to be too confident yet... we still got to assess how many Adoption Certificates we have left with us and how we are going to plan to reach out to whoever we can this remaining days... =) Tough... Yeah, but can do it...base on our abilities and experience for weeks since we had taken up this meaningful project. :)

Alright... so this Sunday... We will be at Toa Payoh HDB Hub, around the NTUC there... haha ~ We have obtained permit for that location already so we can carry out of outdoor promotion. :) For those of you who so happened to drop by there for meals or break from your exam study marathon... do come and support us ok... hehex...

Promotion at NCS

Melvin and I went down to National Computer Systems with Mr Ong in the afternoon to assist SCS in selling the Adoption Certificates and souvenir ducks. So glad that the response from those colleagues from NCS were cooperative in supporting the duck race. Some of them even helped to promote the sales at the booth for that 2 full hours. So nice of them... =)

I thought that the booth was strategically located in a rather good spot during lunch time when most of the staff at NSC proceed to the level 6 cafeteria for lunch. Sometimes, there was even quite a huge crowd at the booth. I also felt that the transparent vase was a very good container to store the duckies...haha ~ I realised that almost everyone who adopted a racing duck also added on $5 for a souvenir duck.

We also made some sales over at level 1 area near the Bistro. There wasn't any crowd, but there were staff who were going out of the building for lunch or in transit for meetings. So sweet of those who stopped by or even approached us to buy the duckies from Melvin or me. Most of them have heard about the Duck Race in Singapore for the past years and are also supportive of the upcoming final Duck Race at the Singapore River next month.

Just within 2 hours of lunch time from 12 to 2pm, SCS managed to sell all the Adoption Certificates and duckies set aside for this promotion over at NCS. Very good job to all ! :)

More Upcoming Outdoor Promotions?

Hey!! We are doing very well... Keep it up.. =)

I heard there are more upcoming events for outdoor promotion of the Duck Race... but they have yet to be confirmed...

Anyway, we could be having the promotions at locations such as Ang Mo Kio Hub, Toa Payoh HDB Hub...etc... In fact, we almost had some outdoor promotions at Hougang Central and Jurong Country Club last week... however we were not able to obtain the permits in time, thus we had to forego those occasions. But it's alright... as I said...we are doing well so far and just a little more will do. =)

To all student volunteers... Keep up the team spirit in this duck race and All the Best in your upcoming exams. =P
