peddling

Peddling means selling things from door-to-door or in a way that's considered unconventional.

When people think of peddling, they often imagine someone trying to sell something that might not be very popular or useful. For example, you might see someone on the street offering cheap umbrellas or handmade crafts. They're usually going around to different neighborhoods, trying to convince people to buy their wares. It's a bit old-fashioned and some people might find it annoying, but it can also be a way for small businesses or entrepreneurs to get their products out there.
