marketing your business inside our outside shops - legality??

td

Hi,

I have been thinking of trying to promote my business by standing outside/inside shops. My business is not in competition with the shops at all - in fact it might even be beneficial for them. I am going to ring them first to ask if I could do it instore in return for free relaxation sessions for staff but just wondered what the usual protocol is for this kind of thing. If they say no does anyone know whether I can just go and stand outside their shop? The shops I'm looking at are in town centres and in out-of-town retail parks.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated - or if you work in a shop do you know how these things work. I want to know what I'm talking about before I ring up.
