Well, I am not experienced in CC but am just getting started.  I do own a Maid Service biz and YP is HUGE for us.

I wonder if YP is only good if you spend enough to be a major player(big bucks considering top dog in my market is 2 page full colour)...but what do you all think... if you are in the first 5 pages (maybe 1/2page full colour) does it drive business?]]> Wed, 02 Mar 2005 21:42:28 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=399&PID=22176&title=ego-city#22176 <![CDATA[EGO city! : Yellow pages doesn&#039;t work...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=399&PID=22106&title=ego-city#22106 Author: Cleaner1

Yellow pages doesn't work here either. I spent about 4,000 last year and got 1 hit ( of which was already a current customer but she was looking for our number) The only time it works is in disaster restoration. Newspaper doesn't work here either. you need to focus on your current client lists and pound the pavement. waste no money on ads and spend your advertising dollars handing out flyers and business cards.

I usedthe Yellow Pages, 2 1/4 x 4 1/4 ad cost me $ 330.00 in English per month and another $ 330.00 in French,per month  in Quebec it's a law to advertise in French, even if you have no French customers. The money that was comming in paid the Y.P, Winter months, came from my pocket. With all that said, I still would try it again somewhere else.

I used the yellow pages once...for a year...and I didn't get too good of a responce...I found it much more profitible to use coupon mail outs like advo or some of the local ad mail outs...most of the time some of big franchise outfits will have the bigger ads in the yellow pages and will get much more responce than the smaller ads that people like us have...I'd look for some of these mailing companies that will let you do as few as 10-20 thousand in targeted areas and give them a try...and don't be afraid to ask any regular customers for referals...word of mouth is still the cheapest and the best...JMHO]]> Fri, 18 Feb 2005 10:27:27 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=399&PID=19919&title=ego-city#19919 <![CDATA[EGO city! : Seelah, Carpetologist is 100%...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=399&PID=4210&title=ego-city#4210 Author: ruserious

Seelah, Carpetologist is 100% right. Do yourself a favor and stop advertising in the newspaper cause it don't work. Unless you can afford to keep throwing it out the window and hope that it does in a couple of years.]]> Sat, 22 May 2004 00:57:22 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=399&PID=4210&title=ego-city#4210 <![CDATA[EGO city! : I heard Mr. Steamer is AC/DC maybe...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=399&PID=4197&title=ego-city#4197 Author: doug
