And impulse purchasers that can be lucrative but they are few and far between.

Well I'm not going to argue with you because it sounds like you've got this marketing thing down to a science. Thats one reason that I dont like to post very often is because usually someone wants to argue with you on this board. Hey! my wife would love this. I'm not trying to sell you something, I'm not Ken Harris, I was just trying to point out some basic things.

You will find most cleaners feel YP is a rip off and that is not an exageration. It is hard to call something on one hand a rip off or overpriced and on the other had a value.
They quit making real estate books for the realtors and they will eventually quit making phone books too for the very same reason. Web based advertising for me is far more effective and a good value. Ever noticed how big the ads are in a phone book for marketing and advertising agencies??????? Edited by pilediver - 14/July/2007 at 8:34pm |

I believe that the yellow pages will give you a better return on your investment than any other type of advertising if it is done right. The next best is newspaper but talk about extortion, its shelf life is one day and then it ends up on the bottom of a bird cage. I just wish that I had the time to go out and talk to businesses like restaurants and hotels. Do any of you do this and/or telemarketing? |

YP if done right costs about 2500 a month in my market - along with the other 6 companies who have also done it right - NO THANKS!
