I only pay $85 a month on my wee lil YP ad.
even it barely pays for itself
yet I have more than enough work to keep one van busy
referrals are much cheaper
as for the realtor book,I tried it last year and it paid for itself,but the coupons for 10% off that I give to Century 21 every month for all new buyers are much cheaper and generate more phone calls

you have to pay more for a e-mail link or web site link on the 411 web site but the regular listing is free (included)

One thing I like about the Yellow Pages is that I can go on line and find a company easier than looking through the book. Does that service help you out more and do you have to pay extra for that service or is it included. Thank God for spell checker

Yellow page ads are a waste of money. As long as your name is in there.....that's all you need....I spent about 4000-5000 per year in yellow page ads over the last number of years........I also track where our sales come from and It's not from yellow pages. We had one call from our 350 per month ad last year. When I was flipping thru old customer lists I found this customer on the old list.....she called on a saturday for a water damage job........I phoned her and asked her about the call and she responded......I only looked in the yellow pages to find the number faster and if you had not been in there i would have went to the white pages. I was sick!!!! I thought my investment had paid off since it was a very substantial job....but I found out different, If you are spending any of your hard earned dollars on advertising...make sure you do a little research to see what is actually working....Don't make the same mistake I did and assume it's working....you might only be fooling yourself. |

a full yp ad in halifax is about 3000.00 so cmasters 5000.00 doesn't sound too far off if he's in a larger city.

We pay 8% on taxable items. Your Premier must be better than ours.

You should have applied to work for YP. You could have made a killing selling to all the carpet cleaners
