:shock: What a 1950's assumption about apartment-dwellers. :shock: A lot of younger people live in apartments and have enormous disposable income. They buy things... expensive things, and often make large impulse purchases. Some of them have all their money in their VEHICLE and their electronics instead of their housing. Some don't have the credit history to qualify for a home purchase precisely because their spending is disproportionate to their investing. Many of them are also cohabiting singles who are TINKs (two incomes, no kids). I speak as a former salesman.

You might find some apartment dwellers who can pay cash for your high end product. :wink:

My mother's Social secuerity check wa sstolen from her mailbox, which is a violation of several Federal statutes. When she reported it tp the post office, she was told nothing could be done about it.

I wouldn't worry about prosecution too much...
Why is it that bad decisions seem to make to most interesting testimonies?

Well, someone got the law right. LOL! I had an experience where I put 500 flyers on the outside of the mailboxes and out of 500, I got one call from one lady who read the law to me then proceeded to lecture me on religion. Oh well!

Now we have doorhangers made up! Perfectly legal and actually quicker to put up.

Yeah, it is! But it's legal! There's also the annoying...leave it under the windshield wiper while their shopping. Also legal as long as you get the permission of the store who owns or leases the parking lot. :D :wink:

Come on Beav...when have you ever expressed a humble opinion?

Is there any marketing idea for me that you would approve of?
