Is Door To Door Selling Dead?

Hi John,

I haven't had any door-to-door sales people around here, but.... Boyd Stone has mentioned some door-to-door sales people in his area in a recent post - http://www.sowpub.com/cgi-bin/forum/webbbs_config.pl?read=12444

This may be interesting, though. There is a business here which leaves catalogs by your door, and they ask you to leave the catalog next to your door later for collection - along with your order (if you want to make one). This is not quite door-to-door, but the fact that they actually come around to collect the catalog (and your order too) seems to be something in-between door-to-door sales and direct marketing through catalogs....

Dien,

Can you tell me what the name of the company is that does the drop and run catalog business you talked about in your post?

Thanks!
