True story
1. I have seen it result in a littering citation
2. Some towns have a peddling/solicitation permit law that requires registration and a small fee
I know a successful roofing canvasser that goes door to door in a town with a peddlers permit law that pays the dinky fine gladly because he always sells a roof or two every time he gets fined.
Successful canvassing requires at least three personality traits. A thick skin, charm and confidence to be successful.
The best tip I have is to hit the area of weekends when people are outdoors or happy to be outdoors because so many don't want you to come in until they are acquainted but some will gladly show you their fence outside if you are there to offer suggestions and pricing.
