Many people do not have the time to visit the local stores regularly, even if they require some items. So they are more likely to purchase items from door to door sellers, though their entry is regulated.

It is also awesome to see a seller knocking on our door, and it is a pity not to entertain him. He needs attention so he can have sales in a day. I experienced it at home when I was a child; many peddlers were knocking on our door, selling many things, and we were so excited to buy.
