Yellow Pages and Yell.com

[Perkins]

I've finally decided to pull the Yellow pages advert.

 

It's been on the cards for 2 years, but I've continued to maintain a presence in the book for fear of being left out.

 

I suggest that if everybody pulls their ads, we'll all save a lot of money and won't be competing with each other any more!

 

good idea eh?

 

(and yes they've pissed me off again this year by not delivering their promises)

Well said . They,ve had there day IMO . I,m stopping them next time

 

Only good for the OAP's and the thrifty .

I pulled out last year, haven't missed it at all. I'm chuffed because I despised Yell and hated giving them my hard earned!! You won't look back, wise decision

I did one year and realised after only getting one job off it, it really wasn't worth it.

binned yellow pages and yell.com 2 yrs ago and never looked back...

crap leads you will find your quoting against 3 to 10 others on each job which is fine if you are the cheapest but waste of time otherwise.

rant over as you guessed they peeed me off too.

I also pulled out this year, last year they promised major improvements, but if anything response got worse not better. I had 2 adds in each, one for stoves and another for cookers. Spent 6k ish over 2 years, got almost nothing back.

stopped adevertising in there 2 yrs ago when they put the wrong phone no in the add and still expected me to pay..

Stopped advertising with yellow pages about 6/7 years ago. Put the money into a website. Get far more commercial business hits from the website than we ever did thru yell. Don't miss the "can you give me a price over the phone" or "we,re just waiting for another 5 quotes to come in before we decide" type customers. good move on your behalf, keep the faith and use the money to promote yourself elsewhere.
