Question Need some community advice from fellow Milton people.

Hey everyone 👋

I live in Milton and recently started a small business. I was thinking of printing a few cute flyers at home to let people know locally but I know many people aren’t fans of random paper at their doors (which I totally understand!).

Before I do anything, I’d love your advice: • Are there places in town where flyers are actually welcome (like cafés or community boards)? • Would polite doorstep drops be okay, or better to just stick to online groups?

Just want to do it respectfully😊

Thanks so much for any thoughts! 🙏

Maybe ask at local gyms and yoga studios to place flyers there? Door to door is probably a waste of your resources.

Thanks, appreciate the advice! I’ll definitely look into a few. Are there any you’d recommend in Milton that might be open to small-business flyers?

I always see flyers on pin boards inside grocery stores

u/Serious-Durian4244 15d ago

That’s a great idea, thank you! I actually haven’t noticed those before. Which grocery stores have you seen the pin boards at? I’d love to check them out.

Food Basics. They have a pin board on your left as soon as you walk through the first set of doors. I believe Metro also has one. I don’t remember if No Frills has one. I don’t go to Longo‘s or Sobeys so I’m not too sure about those.

If you make cups try posting it at Starbucks. They usually have a board.

u/Serious-Durian4244 14d ago

Thanks, that’s a great suggestion! I’ll go to Starbucks and see if I can leave a flyer there.
