Do you take advertising flyers or free samples handed to you when out strolling or shopping in the city?

I don't think that it is a waste of money because when we share out flyers, any one that collect it will take it home and as many that sees the flyers from that person will know about what we are showcasing

That's right, it's a very effective means of advertising.

I normally don't take flyers and free samples distributed on the street. But I do read flyers put in my mail box or sometime take free samples of products given inside a shop.

Yes i do take them for various reasons though, i feel it would be painful not to accept it, i do not want to experience it so i try my best to not make others feel that pain. Then again i am into graphic designing so i tend to accept them to simply see their designs.

I really don't like to take anything or samples when I am out to taking strolls to shopping in the markets. This is because I find it more inconveniently in collection unplanned items.

Yes, I do so because I look like a gentleman. But most of the time I don't really read them instead I throw them away when I am out of that place.

There's nothing hard accepting flyers or samples. That's strategy of the business people. We need to support them to have a good karma. They capitalised their productions. I never missed to accept flyers and take samples.

It will be painful not to accept it but I throw them away at the end of the day

I accept them with a smile. I have seen people who are rude and don't accept or even worse accept it with a irritated body gesture and throw it in trash can next moment without even looking at it. Everyone wants to advertise their business and it's one way that they do jt. I accept it..the business might be of no good to me..but I don't want to be rude and discouraging. I can later use the paper for recycling or any art and craft project.

I accept them sometimes but they may be very annoying so I will just walk past them

Yes, I know it can be annoying. Especially when we are not in a right state of mind due to various things going on or if we are in a rush. My husband often has no patience for them..But I have a soft corner for those trying hard to succeed in their business..I even wish them luck. Just a little good deed to make them feel good.

You get the point and some of them will even be forcing you to collect the flyer

Personally speaking, I do not get any things like this. My reason is that it is a waste of money and waste of papers being used.
Most of the time I don't take them seriously but if it's about a product that I'm interested in buying, then I will look into making use of it. .

Yes, I have seen that happening here too. And that can be really annoying and even upset others. I would say that most of them don't force it, but there are few who force you to accept it. That's not a professional way to promote your business. You can't force consumers to be interested in your business. One has to respect that
