Thank you so much for doing this and all your hard work. Just a quick warning, in some places it is against the law to drop in post or mail boxes. You can drop between doors, but not in postal boxes. A great place would be those funky art or craft shows. Now let's get busy.
Many thanks @carmencita .. and thanks for the heads up about posting through letter boxes. I should add that into the description. Let's get busy indeed:)
In my community, people put flyers and such between the mailbox and the flag. It's easily noticed and it's not putting it in the mailbox. The only downside is if it gets rained upon. Some people also attach a rubber band around their flyer and around the flag.
I think the trick is to watch the weather report and do it on a sunny day if possible. Yes, rubber bands are a good tip. They put them around ad fliers here where I live, and yes the flag pole is good. You can wrap the rubber band around a rolled up flier and then twist it around a door knob as well. Aren't we all so very resourceful.
If there is a open faced black box underneath there mailbox it can go in there. That is for anyone to advertise with. Does not get checked as readily as the door though. And be careful some cities require permits in order to walk up to the doors. It can be considered solicitation. Just check your cities laws before you go walking up to doors. Some companies have to buy a permit from the city in order to do that like for instance pizza fliers.
Thanks for the additional information. It is good to point out, yes, that there are different rules for different areas. Whatever they are I am sure our pizza fliers will be an interesting topic of discussion around their dinner tables.
