People tried to pull that door to door "help me win a trip by buying a magazine subscription" shit all the damn time when I lived in Charlotte. It was very annoying. I stopped answering my door. I had the most solicitors ever when I lived there.I was on a traveling door-to-door sales crew where we sold magazines. I'm talking like $65 for a 4 year subscription.
The way we would sell people is by selling the contest, not the actual magazines. People bought to help us "win".
