Marketing Door to Door Approaches

Be sure to wear bullet proof vests, and try not to come across as an annoying douchebag.

By your good quality & your behavior you will win in the case. So your goods quality need to be top classes, Price also need to reasonable, any gift. that's all.

You'd be much better served posting this in the "Offline Marketing" section. The question would be more targeted and you'd get a much better response.

Oh Lordy... Are you going to start going and handing out DVD's at Walmart too?

Apparently, you are selling something. What is it? Are you talking to people at their home, or at a business?

And, when you knock on doors, nobody really cares where you live.

Added later;
Hello?

I hate people coming to my door. Creepy. How about setting up Lemonade (or beer) stations around your neighborhood. putting postcard on their door with location points and inviting them to come to you. Safer, less creepy and you've gotten them to take action. :-)

For physical products selling this is one of the best marketing techniques but if you want to sale online then you should go for the pamphlets or newspaper advertisement or you can hire vehicle poster marketing too.

what are you selling? that will help in getting some great feedback on if door to door is even effective for you anymore? is it a hard door sell (i.e. here is my vacuum - want it?) or setting it up for a sale (i.e. you need to buy my water heater let's set something up) etc...

Most of the other cats on this board seem more interested in having a snicker at your expense rather than providing any genuine help, so I'll have a stab at this.

You think it's easy to sell to people in your own neighborhood? That's a good thing. But why is it easy? It's because you have a hook. You're building empathy with them because you're hoping they'll socially identify with you as one of your neighbors.

Why do you expect other neighborhoods to be any different?

I've sold door-to-door at two points in my career, in both cases fairly unsuccessfully. I got a lot more traction the second time around. People were interested in my service but they couldn't afford me, but I was happy to know that I had developed a reasonable approach and a decent script.

Another poster here has pointed out that you declined to mention what you're actually selling. Maybe it's kitchen ware? Let's pretend it's kitchen ware.

The trick will be to develop some level of interest or connection to their neighborhood. Believe me it won't take much. Perhaps you could pick up a copy of the local paper and scan it for news items?

Anyways here is a sample script,

"Hey I'm Bob and I was in the neighborhood because I felt like stopping by Joe's Diner over on Main Street on my way home this afternoon. Best soup on this side of Springfield!
Anyways I'm sorry I'm bothering you but I wanted to show you these pans that I'm selling
[here you press a pan into the prospect's hands]
and a set of four is only $49 dollars, which is ten dollars cheaper than the crap over at Walmart. AND THEY'RE MUCH BETTER PANS. What kind of pans you you'all use?"

And here is where you give them their first chance to talk.
Okay, let's review the above. You introduce yourself, you disclose your (perhaps minor) connection to their neighborhood, you acknowledge that yes you are bothering them, and then you get right to the point.

Their response to the above question is going to tell you a lot about how you should try to close the sale.

That is traditional marketing approach to do marketing.
