I know someone that came up with a great idea. They paid some college kids to put flyers on everyones doors within a community with several hundred homes. It was to paint numbers on curbs for $8 each. The flyer stated the date that they were going to do it and included an envelope. If you were interested, you just mailed $8 with your address. Two weeks later they would come out and do it. He'd get a bunch of houses in one neighborhood. Would take him about 5 minutes each and only cost him some paint and stencils. $8 isn't much to part with and he got a 20% response rate. He'd do community after community and did rather well.
