Title: Discount for ad in the Yellow Pages
Post by: AJCleaningServices on February 16, 2006, 08:28:03 pm

I am going to place an ad in the Yellow Pages. Does anybody know about a corporate advertisement scheme, where an association negotiates a discount for its members? 
Kind regards,
Arthur

Safe contractor do a scheme if you are a member. We advertise in this and
the window cleaning fed. They are good value for money especially if you
are the only company in the box

Thank you D Woods,
I have head of them before, but have never visited the website and for some reason  ???  thought they were only for the window cleaners.
Kind regards,

Yellow Pages have a policy of not giving discounts unless you are a nationwide advertiser and spending a shed full of money a year, these are known as national accounts, yellow pages are now a regulated company and their prices are set, this is to avoid them under cutting their rivals namely the BT Phone book and the thompson local directory

Jon T.C. here (http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=14860.0#msg111949), confirms what D Woods says  ::)
Some time ago I contacted Yellow Pages, asking to name an association, which does corporate adverts, but they asked me to name the association first and then Yell would say “how they could help” …
