...specialist publishers to the medical profession...

Has anyone heard of this outfit? They want me to advertise in a Practice Booklet which is available to patients foc at a practice in Bristol. The examples they sent me were not encouraging.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

David, there are as many of these types of publications as there are shoes in all of our wives wardrobes. Leave it mate (and I speak as someone who has spent much of much of my working career selling advertising of one form or another).

Stick to the basics, non of these diaries, menus, school booklets, police booklets, fire safety booklets etc etc are worth a jot.

They called me today, must be having a push

Gave them short shrift

This is just a variation of the calls i used to get a few years back offering a very similar thing but for estate agents

don't waste your money
