Not sure what to budget for Yellow Page advertising next year? The facts are phone book advertising is losing ground rapidly to the internet. When planning yellow page advertising ask yourself what did I spend last year and what were the returns? If the numbers work, keep doing it. If the answer to this question is “I don’t know,” we have a suggestion.
Keep your yellow page advertising, just reduce it by half. Take the 50% you save on your budgeted yellow page fees and use it to directly drive online prospects to your company. If you’re satisfied with your current yellow page advertising, reduce it by 20-30% and take that percentage and invest it online. As phone books and directories continue to diminish in value, you’ll be ahead of the curve.
