I would start printing off stickers and whenever someone knocks anyway, just grab another one, and stick it directly onto them. A forehead stamp would be better, but ink might get the cops involved…

I've only had one salesman knock every since I put one up. When he started talking, I just pointed at the sign and he apologized and left. Everyone should get such a sign.

I have one hand-written one, taped to the door, back of an envelope. No soliciting No exceptions (underlined) Along with another set of instructions to deliver packages to the back, indicating I expect goodies if you show up at the back door, and I wont answer the front. It has made a huge difference because people are taught in solicitation training to assume that no soliciting stickers that look maybe old are potentially from a prior owner and should be disregarded. (I’ve had this training personally and balked at it - I’d never risk bothering someone who explicitly doesn’t want to be bothered, even if I’m wrong and they don’t care and it was from someone prior) low quality stickers look old after a couple years, you shouldn’t have to replace them, but thats why I don’t bother with them at all.
