Description of service

We own our own business. We are a relatively small company, but we decided it would be in our best interest to put an add in the yellow pages. We got a really great deal. We are listed in two spots for 15.50 a month. Since we repair computers and design websites, we felt that we needed to be located in more places than just say computer repair. We have both listings for that small amount per month.


Review of Service

I am very pleased with our yellow page ad. It gives our business some validity. Now when people need computer repair or website design they can go look in the yellow pages and there we are! The other great thing is that we are the only one in the yellow pages so we look forward to building our business.


Tips

When you begin dealing with the ad agents make sure you know how much money you are willing to spend. It is their responsibility to get you to pay large amounts for advertising. Set a budget and get an idea of what you'd like for you ad to say. Don't be afraid to ask for the plain jane advertising if that is all you can afford. It's better to be in the book than to not be.
