pamphleting

Handing out flyers

Pamphleting is the activity of distributing pamphlets—small booklets or leaflets promoting a cause, product, or viewpoint.

The term typically describes going door to door or standing in public spaces handing out printed material: She spent the weekend pamphleting for the campaign.

Also spelled pamphleteer­ing, though that word more often emphasizes the writing rather than the distribution.
