Kids and Letter Box Drops

MissieK by MissieK Speaking(February 2007) (rank 302nd)

Depending on your business, letter box drops are a good way to get the word out about your business to your local community. They are also a great way to get some exercise and spend some quality time with your kids.

Babies enjoy being outside and having a walk in their pram. Many babies also enjoy sleeping in their pram. When doing a letter box drop, a pram is a wonderful way to carry all your fliers.

Toddlers enjoy helping Mummy. While doing your letterbox drop, let them put the fliers in the letter boxes. It may take a bit longer to do a block than if you didn't have a helper, but it will help your toddler to feel important. Reward your little helper with a play in the park and a snack halfway through.

As your children get older, you will be able to give them more responsibilities. You may be able to do one side of the street while your child does the other. Be sure to explain that "No Junk Mail" signs mean not to put fliers in them!

Teenagers may enjoy earning a bit of extra pocket money by doing the letter box drop by themselves, or with friends.

Re: Kids and Letter Box Drops
Great advice, cost effective, plus healthy and fun for the whole family.  I really like that you respect the no junk mail signs too - I don't have one on my letterbox - sometimes there is junk mail that is most interesting : )

Sounds like a great Idea
Sounds like a great way to get fit and get the family involved as well...
I see a lot of parents with their kids out around the streets here doing just that sticking things on door steps... It is a very family oriented place where we live, and there are a lot of people who have home cleaning jobs and such like that.. The kids seem to get a kick out of helping their parents do the rounds...

Although not so much in the winter.. LOL very cold around here.. :)
