EGO city!

I heard Mr. Steamer is AC/DC  maybe he needs a few good men????

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

How ya doin' Todd?

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.

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 1/2 page full colour) does it drive business?
