Well done!

Ask people where they heard about you. You can track which advertising is worth doing and which isn't.

Could be a combination of all advertising but it is always best to ask where they found you so you know what works and what doesnt
Oh and well done!!

Cheers mate, at least i know its getting out there, Ive sent about 100 letters to management companys over the last couple of months, ive put my business cards in loads of flats as was told most directors live in the blocks (didnt put them in these blocks tho) ive dropped about 7000 flyers inc these areas, got website and yell.com which also links to my website and well worth £100 i paid for it as its paid for itself already in the 1st month of going live, so will be interesting to find out which method they got me from.

You got yell.com with site link for like £100!!! I paid like 4 times that...  >:(

I haven't got any work from it so far either. All my work is from recommendation or canvassing.

I think, i'll just be having the free inclusion on the yell.com and maybe a small ad in the book next year. But if most of my work is being done by my own hard work, im not gonna bother advertising anymore.
