one of our registered installers spent his money on this after being made redundant and going self employed.

He said all he gets is canvassing calls, almost every day. In 8 months, that's all he has had.

Thats strange really my advertising paid for it self in week one. Dont get me wrong I am not inundated with work from it but will get 1-2 jobs a month so I consider it worthwhile.

 

[REDSAW]

aftter £1,500 for the year for yell.
5 junk calls a day,
6 quote calls in the year.
one £60 job.
what do you recon?.

quite honestly in retrospect, if i spent the same on leflets, i could of gained around 20 jobs locally on law-of-averages, fact.

 

[Puddle]

All the years on the web and all the thousands of searches I have done,I have never used or thought about using yell .com
And do not know anyone that does,why would I think any worth while possible customers would?

 

[BluePlumber]

Been with Yell.com now for 9 months, total utter waste of money.
Had no calls, except from people trying to sell me more advertising.

Better spend your money on leaflets and go door to door.

What size ad did you have squirrel?

I've had a (very) few enquiries via Yellow Pages but only have a single line free entry with name and telephone number.

Frequently when I want something in Yellow Pages I only look for their location to me and often ignore adverts as firms without advertising tend to be busy, well established and know what they're doing. Prices of these firms are often cheaper as well because, being a customer, I'm not paying for their added marketing costs.

Reverse psychology I suppose.
