I have picked up numerous tips for various types of canvassing over
the years.
To clarify, Canvassing is ANYTIME that you are passing out books searching
for customers.There are several different types of canvassing.
Hanging is when you hang your Avon book on
the door of potential customers.
Porching is when you leave your Avon book on the
front stoop, step or porch of a potential customer.
Knocking is a very effective means of getting your
books into the hands of people that want them. You knock on the door and engage the potential customer. Hopefully you can
get their phone number or email addy for follow up with them before you place your order.
Tossing is when you wrap your book in the
What's New bags, and litterally toss them into driveways or next to mailboxes for the potential customer to retrieve.
Before you choose a specific method of canvassing make sure that you check
your local laws! The last thing that you want is to hang or toss 200+ books and find out that it was illegal and you
must retrieve them or pay a fine.
