Activation type
Street team: what permits do you need?
People handing out flyers, samples or swag on public streets. Cities treat this very differently: some ban commercial handbills, some require a solicitation or vending license.
Not legal advice. Confirm with the city. Requirements, fees and lead times change and vary by location and by the exact activity. Always confirm with the issuing agency before you rely on anything here.
What to watch for
- Distribution of flyers and handbills is regulated in some cities.
- Handing out samples is often treated as sampling, see health rules.
- Blocking the sidewalk turns it into a right-of-way matter.
