Description of service

I paid $22 to post a small ten word ad in the yellow pages advertising in my local area. I advertised a creative photography service that I offer from my own home business. I thought that the price was very affordable for the type of exposure that the ad gives my business. There were no additional fees other than the cost to place the small ad.


Review of Service

Placing the advertisement was very easy. Sending the company the information and payment for the ad was very simple. I initially sent the information for what I wanted placed in the ad through email, and then I spoke to a representative over the phone to work out payment. I simply put a check in the mail. It's such a well-run company that it was very easy to get information on how to place the ad.


Tips

I would really take the time to figure out what kind of budget you have for advertising. The price can go up very quickly as you expand the number of words you want in your ad. The advertisement has the potential to become costly, but in the long run it's really worth it. It'll really help your business gain exposure.
