Its a good start, but handling pamplet to public is hard selling and probably they will just accept and throw it around, word of mouth is still the best advertising on the local level.
Word of mouth is indeed the best advertising. I heard this from my friend who knew bitcoin for almost one and a half year. He encouraged me to join this forum, he said that if I'm really interested in knowing the basic knowledge about bitcoin I should start reading here. And here I am, a newbie who wants to learn and understand everything about bitcoin.
I wish we have that kind of seminar in our country.
