If there is a screen and its unlocked open it and close it on the flyer. If its locked roll the flyer and stick it somewhere on the screen. If there is no screen fold the flyer in half take a corner wedge it in between the door and frame scooting it down. If none of the above works that's when I knock on the door.
Technically it is illigal to tape, wedge, or put the flyer anywhere on the mailbox but most don't care as long as you don't open the mailbox

Technically the people who receive the mail don't or wont say much, the person who will turn you in are the mail carriers. They can remove your flyer or information and take it back to the office and turn it in to the postal police and it's up to them what happens.
The safest way to advertise is just leave the flyer or your business card in the edge of the door and walk away, if there interested you'll be contacted. The other thing to watch for especially in sub-divisions is that most have NO SOLICITING signs and the people who live there don't want to be bothered.

We started up in Aug 2012. Our primary source of advertising since day one has been using Facebook. The way I did it was I created a large friends list first. I have like 2500 or so friends. Then I joined every page I could find from the local areas. They are like buy sell and trade pages ect. I posted on them daily. Right now we have over 60 yards on schedule and we cut a butt load that are one timers that we cut for people who cut their own some times. Once you get going if you do quality work the Word of mouth will get you lots of work as well. On those sites also many times somebody will advertise hunting somebody to cut grass. When they do many times 7 or 8 people will reccomend us immediately. Guess who they call?
Big business use media like radio, tv, billboards, print, internet marketing, blogs. If you can afford that and people perceive your campaigns and services to be excellence, customers will come to you. Word of mouth is quite hard and requires a lot of hardwork and determination, but you'll notice a return on investments eventually.
No business can get astounding results in an instant. It takes time. After all, a business is a venture.
