I disagree with you on us business people always picking the big ads.
When I need a plumber, electrician or painter for example I look in the yellow pages and I have called companies with big flashy ads and every time their quote was much higher then the small ads.
I don't waste my time calling companies with those big flashy ads anymore.
My reason being if they can afford those big flashy ads they charge more for the work.
Might not be the same in smaller cities with less competition.
<FONT COLOR="e87400">LOL,, and that Jon, is why I said no self-employeed ppl,,The self-employed won't pick the bigger ads they will usually go for the ones in the middle. Still though try my test on some friends to truly know what to expect.
I should'nt say alot here though I don't even have an ad in the YP any more. I do not do residential,, and the commercial I do I target very specific properties to work for. However my YP ad's were what got me going in the beginning they got my foot in the door for my niche now I no longer need them.
My real YP experience came from a differnet field than PW In it you had to exercize gorilla marketing techinics to survive.</FONT c>

By sic code here’s all the pressure washers in Arizona.
Now are these all the guys I compete with daily? No there are hundreds more that are not listed in the directory.
If I where to call some of these on the list you would find out that they are not even in business. Not long ago pressure washers did not have there own listing in the yellow pages. Arizona has the seventh largest city in the country. Phoenix has over a million plus people, yet only a few guys who choose to advertise in the yellow pages. I did a search on California and even came up with less pressure washing people. Maybe I did it wrong if someone else might like to search, I would like to hear the facts.
cody,
you said
‘I can say from experience that a smaller ad does not always do as well. It all depneds on your market. If there is a fair share of competetion in the yellow pages it often pays to go larger. A larger add recieves better placement and the customer feels cozy in thinking that it must be a reputable company from the looks of the ad. Try to get in just behind the front runner ads. there's alot to placing an ad that alot of ppl miss maybe later I'll go into more detail on the subject but it'll take a while.’
‘Try to get in just behind the front runner ads.’ do you mean not to be the largest ad? Yes Or No
