No one likes a pushy salesperson, especially when that unwanted solicitor shows up at your home. However, no matter how many times you tell them you're not interested in their products, more just keep showing up.
One of the most effective ways to stop door-to-door solicitation in your neighborhood and community is through the Do Not Knock Program. By registering your community as a Do Not Knock community, your residents can choose to add their home to a list of addresses that for-profit solicitors are not allowed to go to.
The Benefits of Becoming a Do Not Knock Community
As soon as your community is a part of the program, residents can sign up to add their address to the Do Not Knock Registry and receive a window cling to put near their front door. These window clings along with being put on the Do Not Knock Registry help prevent salesmen from knocking on registered members’ doors.
Benefits of NOPEC’s Do Not Knock Program include:
- Placement on the Do Not Knock Registry
- Do Not Knock window clings for residents’ homes
- Residents avoid being interrupted at home
The Process of Becoming a Do Not Knock Community
Joining the program is simple. NOPEC walks you through the process of passing the necessary resolution to enroll your community.
- NOPEC provides Do Not Knock resolution language to your community.
- Your local government would then take action to introduce and pass a new ordinance.
- Once the ordinance is passed, your residents are able to sign up to join the Do Not Knock Registry.
