Going out to put tefilin on people, getting people to shake lulav or hear shofer, or give out menorahs or shabbos candles, etc.
i figured as much. just that word - how does it mean that? in hebrew, a mivtza is a sale

For some reason I thought the word literally meant "campaigning."

AFAIK, "mivtza" in Hebrew means either "offer" or "operation", not "sale".

It does, it means operation (like a military operation, I posted this above). Etymologically, it comes from the same root as the Hebrew word Bitzua (ביצוע) which means fulfilling, doing, acting on etc.

This is quite interesting, the word Mivtza as in sale may have a different etymological root, maybe it comes from the word betza (בצע) which means money, or like b'tzia (בציעה) as in breaking bread.
