If there is legal issues about posting fliers in people's mailboxes why dont you go into your local city centre and hand them out to passers by? I have found this to be an excellent form of marketing in the past.

People tend to trust a local business more, so that is a major upside to this strategy.

I read flyers. I have this notion that flyers have an important message to deliver to recipients. Flyers can lead to sales given the proper packaging (i.e using the flyer as a discount coupon).

Do you think that flyers are one of the best options to promote your business? Also, Is there any legal issues with posting flyers through peoples mailboxes
Well, it depends on who your target customers are.
If you're promoting something local, then flyers would definitely be a very effective form of advertising.

People around where I live love to use flyers. They put them on the cars, in the front door. They're everywhere. It turns into litter sometimes.

We have tried flyers for one of the marketing activities in my company but guess you should use them only if you have a good product that can attract the masses. It doesnt help much to get many hits for your online business!

It is definitely a good way of marketing your website. Even better if it is somewhat relevant to the audience, like if you have a website with free articles which can help students at college, you can put a flyer about your site in college and you will get an overwhelming response.

It only works if you have an offline business in my opinion.

You think? I think people remember catchy domain names. Also if it's a really useful interactive site I think flyers can work to promote it.

It's hard to use flyers in marketing because it's localized only. Unless you are targeting your client's only in that particular area and assuming they can remember your website.

I honestly wouldn't mind being 'spammed' with flyers - IF it's a really good flyer with really interesting information. But if it's like the person only spent a minute coming up with the flyer, it would really frustrate me and I'd look down at what it was the flyer's trying to promote.
