Do any of you hang up flyers in public places? I am thinking about putting up flyers in places like Whole Foods and Earthfare--have any of you done this or have any other suggestions of where to put them?

I think that it is great to put up flyers. I too would put them up in stores on bulletin boards. another thing is advertising on place mats at restaurants. ask owners if you can leave flyers.
good luck

I thought about posting them at Whole Foods too, someone gave me that suggestion. I designed a flyer in Word with the tear off tabs at the bottom so people could tear one off and call me.
Borders bookstore often has a community billboard that you can post on.
Also, my public libraries won't let me advertise (as I'm not a non-profit), but they'll let me leave some Bellywomen fliers (can be printed from their website)in their parenting section. Not only am I listed on Bellywomen, but in the bigger picture, at the very least I feel like I'm spreading the word about doulas, yk?
anywhere women of childbearing age go is a good place to advertise. Try daycares, fitness centers, spa's, salons etc. Maybe talk to some people about cross advertising...look for a massage therapist that does pregnancy massage and offer to put their information in your parent information if they display your info, for instance. someone who does pregnancy photography would be a good one also
Thanks to all of you for the replies! I'm going to work on putting some up this weekend.

I've put them up at Whole Foods, libraries, YMCA, bookstores, etc. I think I have gotten one call, but am not really sure. I got a call from a dad -- he had picked up my flyer at Whole Foods. It never panned out, because mom didn't want a doula...HE did! LOL! But, anyway, you can try Becky. I think you have to be VERY diligent about keeping your flyers filled and not running out....something I am guilty of.

Dot, did you put your fees in the flyer? I'm wondering about that...

I think I am going to work on some flyer type things with a holder for my business cards. I'm trying to decide if I want to invest in doing tis now since I will be taking quite a bit of a break after the baby comes...I would hate to start getting a ton of calls when I am in labor lol...I may make them and wait to put them up until I am ready to begin taking clients after the baby is born.
