Door to door marketing
 

do you guys have bad experiences with door to door marketers?
such as telus, shaw, painting / lawn mowing services.
is there a way to get your address off of companies lists? so that they don't come by your house

Put a sign on your door ringer: "No solicitors."

When they ring the door, open it, and loudly say:

"Did you see the sign before you rung the door bell?!"

Done.

move to a worse neighbourhood :fullofwin: seriously lol

yea, put a 'No Solicitation' sign. While you are at it, throw up a 'No trespassing'

Or buy a pitbull LOLOL

"no solicitors" sign, fenced yard, locked gate, angry dog, punji stick trap.

now THAT'S done.

Theres no list they just go to every door

Just fake you don't know English.

^ That won't help if OP is chinese... when they can speak chinese...

I just tell them I am under 18 and on one over the age of 18 is at home and shut the door.

I just don't bother answering... but I dunno, my door bell doesn't work.
and I don't care to fix it. Cause no one actually comes over by ringing the doorbell.

My family has keys, and my friends always call me when they are outside.

well in some cases that will make a certain bear very happy,



but seriously that's a dangerous thing to say to a stranger at your door.

open door
stare
slam the door

don't open the door?

If they ask me, I'm already a Jehovah's Witness. I'm already subscribing to Shaw or Telus services. I have someone from College Pro Painters coming on the weekend. And I've got the guy from your lawn mowing service booked for 4pm tomorrow.

They can't sell to you if you've already "bought" from them. If they call you on your bullshit tell them their records are wrong and if the press the issue tell them that you're now reconsidering being a customer/subscriber/whatever if they can't get their shit together and recognize whos already signed up and whos not.

Its a soft approach to shutting them down fast.

i look at the peep hole, if they look like marketers, i dont open the door..

Have some Watchtower's by the door handy, and when they try to sell you on something start bullshitting about Jehovah's Witnesses and mess wit them.

answer the door as a drag queen.

look up and ask
"is there something I can help you with big boy"

ive been doing that to those people in the kiosks for credit card sign ups .lol...


them : Sir, would you like to have..
me: *cut them off* .. have it!
them : then you must know about our special...
me: *cut them off again ** .. Sure DO!

^That. You just look through the opening assuming most houses having one and don't open the door then they will automatically leave

you know whats the worst?

I already subscribe to shaw phone/internet at work for quite some time now, yet they have the audacity to come to my door to sell phone/internet to me. the same dude came on friday and the next wednesday.

WHAT THE FUCK?

is it just me, or do you think door-to-door marketing actually makes it worse?

You'd be surprised how many ppl dont understand the sign "No Solicitors"...lol

:fullofwin:

^ start unzipping your pants and pulling out your wiener, then we'll see how long she holds that face for.
