Putting flyers on the windscreen, is it legal?

[abcxyz]

I'm thinking of getting some flyers printed and going around car parks to put it on car's windscreen. Is this legal? If not what is the right way to do it?

[Dawg]

Sometimes it's legal and sometimes it's not, depending on the carpark regulations, and the local bylaws.

It is however always an excellent way of pissing off customers who strongly dislike a) junk being left on their cars, and b) the litter caused when people throw this junk to the ground.

Avoidable.

Where is the best place to give away flyers? or how would you best disseminate your flyers effectively?

It is for an online gift shop somewhat similar to iwantoneofthose dot com.

You might get a load of people annoyed by leaflets being put on their car and being accused of breaking their wipers, or your flyers being thrown on the ground and then being accused of littering and maybe being fined.

Best methods for distributing flyers in

1. handing them directly out to people, shopping centres, or on the street
2. Door to door delivery
3. leaving them in local businesses and so word spreads
4. putting copies up in local shops, noticeboards
5. leaving copies in waiting rooms
6. swapping promo material with another shop, you give out their offers and they hand out yours

Hope this helps!

Pay to have them distributed with a local newspaper. Will cost a bit, but well worth it.

I would be well hacked off with someone I caught red handed flyering my car. It's not yours, don't touch it. You are also giving me the problem of disposing of the damp leaflet stuck under my wipers. Just bad form all round.

I think i only mentioned it here twice. Do you think I'm spamming it with that online shop?!!!???!!!!!???!!!!

If you don't cite an example you get lambasted but not being specific. You mention something similar and you get accused of something else!?!!??!

I'm not going to mention a different one each time I try and cite an example. That's free advertising for all of them!!!???!!!!

If I want to spam this site, I would have used my own site dear. Thank you very much.

Funny you made this reply (2) dear. Your initial comment (1) says it all. I just don't like being implied on as a spammer. I wouldn't advertise something for a few pence. Get the picture? Absolutely not my my thing.

flyers on cars, doubt its very effective...

try uni campuses, get permission from the uni, or stay in a sneaky publically owned road next to campus, gives you a chance to chat and interface with people, talk about the website, get feedback.

and if its like iwoot then students are a great market for you!

it is legal thats why everyone is doing it, and because everybody is doing it not many people taking interest in it.

You may need a license from the local authority, and you will have to agree to all their terms and conditions.
