Hi Stein,

The first thing you have to do is get permission or check on restrictions when posting your flyers.

I checked FindLaw and found that although we have first amendment rights here in the US to post flyers, we still need to check our local laws to avoid any legal consequences.

I checked my towns’ local ordinance as well as other towns and cities close to me and found information that outlines where you can post your flyer to prevent clutter and restrictions as to what can be posted. It is also true that many colleges and public buildings have policies that restrict the posting of business opportunity flyers.

In my own experience, the best place to post a flyer is on your own vehicle if you travel a lot or live on a busy street. When you shop at the supermarket or mall, park your car on an end spot with your flyer visible. Make sure you add color to your flyer to make it more noticeable.

Some other thoughts…

Instead of posting a flyer
- Leave a business card with your tip when dining.
-
- Give a presentation in your library on online marketing and hand out your business card at the end of the presentation

I hope this helps.
