Bet no one tries this method ;D
I wanted to talk about this flyer distribution method once again primarily because I keep on getting phone calls from people telling me that it's working for them in unbelievable ways.
As a quick refresher, this is a way to distribute flyers fast by throwing them out your car window.
This idea was initially brought to my attention by Phil Ruthven. What he does is buy zip lock baggies at Sam's Club and sticks a flyer in each baggie.
He then sticks one rock in there along with the flyer and zips it up. In preparation prior to doing this though, he sticks all the rocks in a big 5 gallon bucket, drills 4 or 5 holes in the base of the bucket, and then fills the bucket with water. This washes the rocks and eliminates rock "dust".
When the ziplock baggies are ready, he loads 'em up and heads to his target neighborhoods and throws 'em out the car window.
The amount of calls I've received on this distribution technique has just been astounding. It has worked extremely well for everyone that has called me about it saying that they used it.

In the UK that is called littering ;D
At best it's going to annoy people and at worst get you fined.
