Do Unwanted Solicitors Drive You Nuts?

Here’s the thing. It’s your home and your terms.

  • Do you need to prevent the ringing doorbell from waking up the baby or sending the dogs into a tailspin?
  • Do you avoid dealing with random sales people but will make an exception for your favorite cookies?
  • Would you rather never open the door to a stranger to discuss religion?
  • Is your family more than you can handle but your friends are always welcome?

Peace in the home could be one sign away. Here’s some I found on Etsy. You can also scroll down to see them below. And, if your situation is really unique, you can always have a custom sign made or create your own. These may not stop every unwanted caller, but they should do a good job with discouraging most of them. The rest can be eaten by zombies.


12 Ways to Say No Before They Ring Your Bell

I will leave it to you to decide how plain, straight-forward, silly, or sarcastic you wish to be.

If you want to see all of the signs I chose in Etsy, you can see them here.
1   Friends Welcome * Relatives by Appointment
2   Beware the Barking Dog!…
3   No Soliciting * Solicitors will be eaten by zombies
4   Unless you sell cookies, No Soliciting * seriously
5   No Soliciting
Because we are running out of places to hide the bodies.
6   No Soliciting
We are too broke to buy anything…
We know who we are voting for…

7   Shhh… Night Shift Nurse is Sleeping…
8   Doorbells wake children and make babies cry…
9   No Soliciting Unless You’re a Kid
10   No Solicitors
11   Please, No Soliciting unless you are dropping off a bottle of wine…
12   Shhhhhh… Sleeping Babies and Barking Dogs…

And, if you prefer to put the message under foot, you could get it on a custom welcome (or not so-welcome) mat: Custom Welcome Mat. Pick the message you want.

I’d show you some more, but I have to go. There’s someone knocking on my door.
