Ideas on passing out flyers to get the word out of a home-based business?
I want to get the word out of a homebased business.. So I need any ideas on where to put flyers? Would it be bad to put them on the flags of mailboxes? Any other ideas on how to get the word out would be helpful to. I have over 200 flyers and can always make more. I am already advertising in the paper. My funds are kind of low so I’d like to find some great affordable solutions.
First you need to figure out who your target market is…kids, parents, DINKs, elderly, religious, college students, etc. Then think about what they do and where they go. That is where you should put your flyers. Unless this is something that everyone would be interested in, don’t waste your time, money, and effort blanketing the streets to put the flyers on doors. And definately stay away from the mailboxes…you just may get charged with a federal offense!
If you don’t want to get into trouble, stay away from the mailboxes. Just put them at the doorknob. You can also see if any small restaurants and businesses will let you put a display with flyers in them at their business- you’d be surprised how many will say yes. Chinese restaurants usually cooperate, try laundromats and the public library (they sometimes have bulletin boards you can post on). Good luck.

Yeah.. I’d say stay away from the mailboxes. You can always post them on the cork boards at the Grocery Stores. Take some fliers and business cards to the local stores and shops, ask if you can put some out. Also, any word of mouth advertising is helpful. Ask your family and friends to help spread the word.
Good Luck!

It’s a federal offense to place them on mailboxes. I’ve placed my flyer with a rock in a plastic ziploc bag and thrown them down by the mailbox, although you might only get 1 response out of 100, but that’s better than nothing. I place my business card on bulletin boards at schools and grocery stores, but you need to return every few days to replace them. Jennifer

I have found that the best way to introduce any homebased business is to build a social network of like minded people. This establishes a form of relationship through which you can exchange common interests, ideas, concerns….and introduce your business opportunity.
This is much easier than you would think. And you can do it for little or no cost.
The system that is working fantasticly for me right now is called uVme
http://www.uVme-info.com
This system combines the three powerful arenas of social networking, online skill gaming and network marketing.
We are in the pre-release phase and I am looking to mentor a couple of key leaders that appreciate the value of getting in on the groundfloor. There is no cost to join and no cost to start building your business.

I would be happy to discuss with you how this will compliment and accelerate your existing efforts.
This is helping to explode my contact base.
To your success!
