As above really.

Whats worked best for you in the past and current market?

Local Paper or The yellow book?
 
yellow pages is a complete waste of money ( except for cutting up and hanging in the bog. ) . thompson local is a bit better.
 
Yellow pages same here crap! If you got nowt to do park your van outside iceland or similar ....you'd be suprised

where i am, there are 4 different yellow pages directories for my local area. i would have to be in all 4.at 4 x the price! and 2 of them cover way outside where i want to work. useless with a capital S.
 
Excellent Amp! Problem is I'm bartering with these fools as prices are extortionate atm. £38 per week for a black & white box 3cm2. Got it down to £23 so far I want it for less though
 
I ended up paying around 25 quid a week, for the same. Sounded a lot at first but each week it more than paid for itself.

Could almost guarantee that towards each weekend the phone would start ringing with customers wanting work done. (Paper gets delivered on a Thursday)

I found the good point also is that if you want to take a break with the ad, then they will keep the ad on hold at the same price or if you decided to advertise for a longer period, then wanted to cancel, they would refund the unused weeks. Try that with the yellow pages!
 
Mate is in Yellow pages in Leeds. Big city with a hell of a lot of potential customers. Cost him over £750 for the duration, it has generated him the princely sum of £25. I am on Yell.com, and get sod all as well.

Gumtree, and other free sites will get you more work. The first time i went on Gumtree back in November i got near on £3000 of work and it cost nothing.

Cheers..........Howard
 
No to yellow pages! As with the other posts, load of pants, Thomson not much better. I spend £40 per week on local paper....................FANTASTIC!
