Default Re: On-Windshield Advertisement Cards

I wasn't trying to be entirely negative in my previous posts on this subject. I'm sure a person could pick up an occasional job by using this sales tactic.
I was simply stating that there is some risk involved when you are leaving ad materials on peoples vehicles. Also keep in mind that most major retailers, such as Wal-Mart have policies that prohibit this type of solicitation in their parking lot without the permission of the store manager. Some towns and cities also have laws governing this type of business solicitation without a license or permit. If you are going to do it, be sure you cover the bases before you start so you aren't harrassed or fined. Pissing off the wrong people could actually be a detriment to your business. You may leave your materials on mister grumpy City Council's car who decides to call a code enforcement officer to send you a fine.

Before someone chimes in about "negativity", let me just say this. Yes, I know there is risk involved in almost anything you do. Yes, I know you could step off the curb and get hit by a car! You have to weigh out the advantages of things versus the disadvantages of things and make your own decision. This isn't about positive verus negative. It's about reality.
