I am running the same poll on the cleaning section but as we have a carpet add as well i wondered what you guys think.Its that time of year that Yell are knocking at my door, the first year spent over £3000 for 2 adds with very poor returns, this year spent £1600 on a smaller add and still a poor return so I am considering pulling it all togaether, I get a lot of my work via smaller local add mag and leaflets, whats your thoughts?
Kind regards Phil

You must have a big ad, or are you in more than one?  We had a small ad last year and it paid for itself.  You have to balance the cost with the return. Of course the ordinary purple phone book now has it's own kind of 'yellow pages' although they don't call it that.  So what's the best to be in?  I don't know.

Why is Yell costing you so much, or are you talking about yellow pages as well?

We have two adverts in yellow pages and two enhanced listings in yell, (without website links) and it costs us £88/month.  I would say we get on average at least 2 jobs a week from them.

I've just picked up a £400/two month window cleaning contract from our yellow pages advert today

spend about 3k with yellow pages and as long as I get it back I am happy, Next time the client returns then thats the profit I like to see returned.
