The best place I've found to post flyers is inside of the shopping window of certain merchants. Not all merchants will let you place flyers in there window. So please, do ask the owner or manager before doing this! The key here is once you have permission, you want to match the store with a comparable product.
For example, a flower shop window is not going to be a good place to put a flyer about cosmetics. Why? Well, people come to the flower store looking for flowers. So if you sell flowers that flyer should go in the window. Moreover, put an electronics flyer in an electronics store.
Nevertheless, keep in mind that you should not put the same product in the window that the merchant offers. Then the manager may feel that you are encroaching on his market and throw your flyer in the trash. For example if the merchant sales HP computers but not Dell computers, then tell the merchant up front that I'd like to put flyer in your window for Dell computers to help you reach that market.
The merchant may very well ask you how many Dell computers can you get at one time. If they do, just tell them that I'd be glad to sell you as many Dell computers as you need at 20% markup. Then, be quite. Let the merchant tell you what they are willing to do. They may ask for a piece of each sale or they may just say okay. Now if the merchant buys Dell computers from you, you would not advertise Dell computers in their window. The merchant now has that right because they sell Dell computers that they buy from you.
Consequentially, you gain a customer by trying to post a flyer. Either way, it a win, win situation. In addition to placing flyers in merchant windows consider community bulletin boards. These are usually high traffic areas as people visit them to check up on local events. Be sure to use a flyer that has perforated tabs that can be stripped away individually. Each strip should contain either your gateway info or a gift card code so that it may be redeemed by the individual and you'd get appropriate credit.
