The activities of the promotion department during the Hong Kong Products Exhibition

Before the opening of each exhibition, its promotion department needed to recruit 2 staff members to send advertorials to newspaper editors to report on the size of visitation, VIP visits and other interesting stories, etc. The department also recruited staff to liaise with movie stars inviting them to appear in the Exhibitions as a way to attract visitors.
