Who advertises in the Thompson Local directory (paper based catalogue)?
Does it work these days?

I don't advertise in it, it looked a bit expensive, and they simply weren't listening to me when I called them.

Have you ever used it?

[david@zap-clean]

no

[davep]

Exactly

Exactly 

That hasn't answered the question.

Hi David

I tried it twice in the past once in London and once in Essex, both times it was not worth the money and that was when people used directories!

Cheers

[Mike Gwilliam]

Does it work? Yes like this......

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Look at the demographics of the people that buy from you if they are 60+ they tend to look in directories but my return on yp this year is very poor infact the rep in my area hasn't even contacted me this year I'd imagine tompsons is the same.

That's what I'd heard previously.  The latest version of T.L. has just hit my doormat, and it's full of all the local (and not-so-local) carpet cleaners in this area... That's why I asked.

It's a bit thin these days - A5 x 1cm thick.

Iam in it ive got a small add costs about £170incl vat a year this years book came about about 2 months ago so far ive had 5 or 6 jobs that I know about from it was going to cancel a couple of years ago but just carried on with it as it cost peanuts.

[Paul Moss]

they make good door jars 

[wayne zabel]

I use it and it brings in enough work a year to justify keeping it going.

[Paul Moss]

Wayne, ring them up and tell them, you will be in their one in a million

Never used it. seem expensive. if its like big yellow rival that i have used for years, got their area rep chasing me too for december deadline. very dissapointing. 

[Steve Gunn]

Used as door stops in communal flats that's all they good for

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Directories aren't for people who rent they are used by home owners and aged ones at that, new build flats are for the younger clientele who have no money but booze like troopers.

I advertise in it. Yep, the same £170.00. Dont get loads but it pays for itself. Thats like 1 decent domestic job.
How is that too expensive for anyone?

[John Kelly]

Anyone advertising on yell or with yellow pages I would be very wary of handing over payment for a full year. They are £2.3billion in debt
