only take the free listing on yell, get yourself a website and submit to loads of online directories. also parish magazines are a good starting point

yes when i started out i found these a brilliant source for new clients, very cheap to advertise in some that i used were only £15 for the year! Also get some postcards printed up and put them in shop windows for a couple of quid a month

i wouldn't say yell is a waste of time as people still use it, you just have to offer something more then your competition. it could be a sign of a trust worthy company, cheaper prices, loads of experience shown on your website, as long as you have a clear usp and it's shown well then i believe yell does work.
