Its against the law to cold canvass on weekends

Do you have a link to back this up, I tried googling it, but no where did it say it's illegal?

[Mark Johnston]

I've been canvassing on and off for about 17 years and I've only had one unpleasant encounter (well two if you count the 'incident' with the German Shepard). Always be friendly even if they're a bit gruff and you'll be fine.

Where's that Denise? La-La Land? 

I have many friends there and in "Cloud Cuckoo Land" and I live just across the border in "My own little world" and I've never heard of it being a problem to be honest!

hundreds of people work on sundays now any road so whats the problem

Hundreds? 
There's a few more than that.........unless they've all been arrested for working and cold canvassing on the day of rest and roast  . And so they should, there was nothing more annoying than someone knocking at the door as I was mopping my gravy up and The Love Boat was just coming on  .
I'd be glad of the company now  .

Just had a customer ring for a quote,... shall i tell her its my "day of rest "on sunday and not to bother me ?...

Canvassed lots of sundays, its by far the best day of the week to catch people in.

Dont listen to those who say "would you like it if........"

Go for it mate, its your business, watch the customers pile up.

let us know how you get on.

[Pope vader]

if it is bothering someone, then you are at the door less than a minute,  and if they want a wc then they are happy,  i plan on knocking next saturday and sunday,  and most of the following week,  as its my quiet week

[Rogue Trader]

careful what you say you lot cost the police may just turn up , catch you at it and you wont be able to knock cos you will be serving time at her majestys pleasure , and quite right too ..............  hehehe

[GDwindowcleaning]

Most so called laws on cold calling are aimed at the large gas and electric companies and are more of a guideline than anything else...

[Deangsi]

Went out yesterday evening. Most people in. Only did 45 mins, got 1 job and 3-4 interested but money a bit tight after crimbo so will go back around March. I've not once had someone moan at me... Will definitely go out next Sunday.

[Roy Cauldery]

just to put the cat amongst the pigeons here-we never canvass on a sunday
picked up 38 new customers since 3rd Jan

Its a tough call if your on the tools as well,when else are you gonna do it apart from weekends? and sundays must be a good day to catch people in so its just horses for courses.
If it works for you,then go for it.I agree with earlier comments about sunday canvassing being a bit of a no no for utility companies,but if your a sole trader , people wont mind too much.Probably welcome the chance to talk to someone who's dedicated to his trade maybe?

Good luck to all of you whichever way you do it
