I have made my opinion on this known before.  Use search at the top of the page and search for Yell and Yellow Pages.  There are loads of threads about this already.

thought about it but does anyone from the pressure washing side of things advertise there and is it worthwhile. spent a lot on half baked advertising ideas since start up like paying 600 quid to put business cards in a dispenser at Tesco. one has been taken in the last month and no result also advertised in local trade mag with zero result. local paper weekly ad good results from april to july, sweet F.A.since, door knocking good results and domino effect great when it happens , local business networking generated a bit of interest but followed up with no takers. recommendations , had three or four so far. so reluctant to go for yellow doodahs unless i hear of positive feedback from fellow pressure washer.

Hi all,
Intresting to read others opinion about advertising with yell. Another question
i would like to ask is how many of you advertise in business pages and what sort
of feedback you got. We currently have adverts in yellow pages, yell 24/7 & business pages with only yellow pages bringing any work so far.

look forward to your views.

i have smallest ad size in yellow pages (gonna keep it the same for next year too)  had basic listing with yell last year, but am having enhanced listing plus link to my website this year. I have to say that this last wek I have take on 6 new customers (that is the most in one week I have ever taken on)....usually it is that amount over 2 - 3 weeks!!!

I only advertise with Yell/Yellow Pages (although having said that 1 of the above customers was a referral)

I have 2 adds in yellow pages 800 quid later, total calls four, total jobs one.
A lot of my work now comes in via word of mouth.
I get a lot of personal recommendations, due to my my high standards and a fair price.
