Do you notice a difference in the overall effectiveness of the YP ad now, Doug? Or too early to tell?

"They give you a phone number for the Ad.. one that they track and if forwarded to your business line"
I hate to seem negative, but in the case of individuals, knowing there is no DNC on business listings, working the yellow pages with their pitch targetting all cleaning companies. Do they count as 1 of 6? Customers who lost your number and use the yellow pages to find it and call you about a repeat, do they count as 1 of 6? In one case, you don't know the person and stand to make no income from them. It would be like getting spammed. In the second case you already paid for that account with your other marketing efforts, they are in your inner circle. |

Agreed with cmaster & doug.. Don't insert your prices Mr.Steamer.. Without prices in your ad entices prospects to call you.. Then it's up to you to close the sale..

I am canceling my yellow pages ads on Tuesday.
Now for Peel book only it may be another story for you Steamer. However we have found that the calls just aren't coming in anymore.

With Comcast Digital Voice (yes, they do business phone too) I can see the complete accounting of calls received, missed, placed and voicemail stored on their drives. How can the YP prove that the calls were as a result of ad and not from your own efforts, referrals, etc? |

The sites that promise you traffic or have you pay per click, they do that. Had a yellow page rep call me about a flier she got. Wants to make sure they are getting the best coverage for me. As Joe Polish pointed out, send somebody to your YP ad and you just sent them to your competition as well. I go with single line, not even bold. Listed under Ripoff Artists. |
