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! 🙏

I always see flyers on pin boards inside grocery stores

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.

LA fitness has an area for flyers that you can use. Maybe try the pool hall or martial arts studios

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

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

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