I agree, i have been advertising in Focus for the past year on the same type of scheem. it was a total waste of money. I had no calls

Save your money mate
----
Yell.com is the up and coming way to advertise, i have been in the yellow pages now for about 5 years and i have found that the number of calls from it have dropped. Yell.com and being set up on the search engines like Yahoo and Google work very well.

We have to get with the times lads. its all at the press of a button these days

For wot its worth............Yellow pages has'nt been that clever for me..........3rd year now, and to be honest........I don't know why I bother.





Best form of advertising is "WORD OF MOUTH"

Just try and get more jobs under ya belt and put yourself about. Tile shops etc etc, Flyer handed out...........ring around Plumbers,Kitchen fitters etc etc.

It takes time..........don't rush it.

Just spoke to a mate who's a plumber and he spent nearly a grand on advertising with Homebase using the cards and other forms from them.
He told me it was a complete waste of money,got virtually nothing out of it.

Just remember though, what dosen't work for some people, will work very well for others, but like with anything, it's always a gamble.
