JudyN Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Does anyone advertise in the yellow pages? If so, is it worth the add price? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockmonkey Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Who uses the Yellow Pages anymore? I look up everything on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nantes Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I think it depends on what you are looking for. My husband is a self-employed carpet cleaner and he gets a lot of his jobs through the yellow pages. They are mega expensive if you want an ad with picture and all. He pays around $6000 for the year!!! Don't know the prices if you just want you name listed with no ad.For candles, I think if you have a store, yellow pages are still an option. If you are doing all mail-order, then the internet is the way to go. Just my two cents...Carey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I don't think it's necessary. Unless it's a cheap thing, which apparently it's not. If you were a plumber then it'd be a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyN Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 I got a quote and it is approx $25.00/mo. I don't use the yellowpages that they deliver to my house but I do go to www.yellowpages.com and search that way for things. I'm starting my business in June and I'm want to try and get my name out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violetmoondrops Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I don't think it would be a wise investment, Judy. This lady I know sells gift baskets and such - and invested $1,000 in advertising in the local phone book. In the few months it's been there she hasn't received even one call from the ad!!However, for only $25.00 a month it might not be a bad idea to try for maybe six months just to get your name out there. Who knows, your area might really respond! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
