Make the new Yellow Pages® Book part of your marketing

altThe world is changing rapidly and so is Yellow Pages®. In fact, the Yellow Pages® Book has been refreshed, reflecting the changing shape of Australia's metropolitan communities. If you want your advertising to be available to nearly all Australians then you should be advertising in the new-look Yellow Pages® Book.

New improvements to the Yellow Pages® Book

New Book size
The new, more convenient 'ideal book' will measure 190mm(w) x 255mm(h).1

Original larger font size
The font size printed in the directories before they went compact was either 6.2pt or 5.5pt dependant on name, address and telephone number fields in Yellow Pages®.1 We're returning to these font sizes in all markets.

New four column layout
The new improved 'ideal book' layout is four columns wide instead of the five columns used in the current directories.
This includes guide panels which will be moving from the current three column format to the new four column format.

Australia-wide reach

The Yellow Pages® Book is available to nearly every home and business in Australia. And each week, millions of searches are made using it. So the Yellow Pages® Book should be an essential part of your marketing mix.

In Australia, over 13 million Yellow Pages® books are delivered to homes and businesses in metropolitan areas2
Over 7.9 million searches are made using the Yellow Pages® Book in an average week3
