I'm Mike O'Hagan from Mini Movers. Yellow Pages® is the fundamental of our marketing mix. We totally rely on it. We totally need it. It generates 39,600 calls a year, leading to 11,600 moves a year. The number of calls from the Yellow Pages® is directly related to the number of ads and the size of your ads you have in there. Now 23 years, we've increased our Yellow Pages® spend each year and as a result of that, our number of calls have increased each year. This year we're running at 3,300 a month.1 |

The first advertising that I had with Yellow Pages® was online, and that's where I realised how important Yellow Pages® advertising was to my business. Since then I've always increased the size of my ad. I've just doubled the size of my ad again and it's increased my business by 210%, which has lead me to put on another three staff in the last four months. In the last twelve months we did 789 quotations for shade sails. It's all due to the Yellow Pages® advertising.1 |

Hi, I'm Tony Preece from Budget Bin Hire, a family owned company that we've been running for 20 years. We service and provide bins to the domestic, industrial and commercial market. Yellow Pages® gives us great leads for the domestic market on weekends and we get our corporate and industrial clients that use our bins on a Monday to Friday basis. When the Yellow Pages® came out we increased our ad and we went from position 16 to position 6. Our phone calls went from 800 to 1600 a month. Want to hear more of Tony's story? Click here. |

In the beginning, when we first started out, we didn't have a Yellow Pages® ad, we missed the closing date for our first year so that was a hard year for us. The next year, we took out a quarter page ad, which we couldn't afford to pay for, but it was well worth the gamble because it more than tripled our work in that first 12 months. And it's been a steady growth from there. If we didn't have our Yellow Pages® ad it would be detrimental to our driving school, simply because we do need to be out there and be seen all the time. It's the sort of industry that people aren't usually repeat customers because they only need a licence once.1 |
