With the poster and accompanying pamphlets designed and printed, your next step will be distribution. Posters have a bigger impact when they are placed at supermarkets, shopping malls, public bulletin boards, bus stops and on lamp posts. In such areas, a colorful poster with the words “Bed For Sale” is guaranteed to catch the attention of people passing by. As for the pamphlets, you can distribute them everywhere you go, it far simpler than actually advertising the sale by word of mouth.
