Other means of distributing flyers
See if local papers will insert flyers in the paper
Ask churches to hand out at their services
Ask pizza companies to place on each box
Ask larger businesses if they will forward to all branch locations
Ask delivery truck drivers to drop off flyers at every stop they make
People know people, try to find out who know high profile people including athletes, celebrities, anyone with connections that can help spread the word and help with the media.
We are certainly working at a disadvantage at 11 days in, but it is never too late. The area of flyer posting needs to be expanded at this point to 50 miles plus at a minimum.
