We never worried if it was legal or not.

We have all seen signs that say no soliciting before but have you ever stopped and thought about what such a sign means to you? I don't believe the sign makes adversiting material illegal even if the local government passes an ordinance against it. It is a great way to get in and people have never been offended if i took that approach. It can be a matter of person taste though, as some people don't want to offend anyone and others take their chances. I came across this site while searching for county codes on the distribution of flyers and handbills in residential communities. Out of maybe 100 houses, no one was interested and all of them had excuses or did it themselves. I'm a new floor cleaning business in a competitive area and need to find creative ways to get the word out about my business. I would suggest, not opening gates, but that's my personal opinion. Never ever under any circumstances put a flyer on a mailbox, not in it, or on it, or anything. If you are a good communicator then you will get the business.

I believe people put No Soliciting signs on their homes only to deter people from knocking on their doors. If there is a "no solicitation" sign on the door, we of course don't leave a card. I used almost every free web service and listing I could find. The only illegal way of dropping off flyers is in HOA communities that specifically prohibit the practice..........but, If I happen to be doing a job in an expensive neighborhood, I will take the opportunity to knock on a few of the neighbor's doors to ask them if they would be interested in the same service i provided to their neighbor. What would be some advise for doing door hanger marketing?

However, any sign that says "no solicitation" you can distribute to, as you are not soliciting. Then I will hand out a few flyers to the neighbors in hope of filling up my schedule more and being able to perform a bunch of jobs before having to reload up my equipment.I’ve had success doing things this way but my could be way off than the results you might find in other areas. It is a great way to get in and people have never been offended if i took that approach. Covenant areas may have a sign located on their entry points, look for those any time you enter a new area, a large fenced off area is a good indicator.

Its worked for us in the past.

Especially when you are out distributing your A third shared “in my town you can put flyers on doors, but if you are talking to people you need a permit which is $35. Posting a sign saying "No flyers, handbills, or solicitors" did nothing to stem the tide. We put out about 1,000 flyers a week and at least once a month there is some retard calling my store complaining. But is putting flyers on doors soliciting?
I was wondering if handing out flyers and leaving it on their doorknob or door would fall under the same category. I will not do business with any concern that advertises in this manner. If you are a good communicator then you will get the business. Get a life!

Any door that has a sign that says "no flyers" or "no hand bills" you should not distribute to. I used flyers that I printed myself for 15 years.
