Thats not good Dave. I know Yellow Book will, but their online advertising isn't very good. I looked into it yesterday. In just six months, their directory online received less than 100 or a little over 100 hits. Take that and figure out how many people are looking for a piano tuner. That's 48$ not well spent, or $73 for two cities. Its a life time listing, but wow not a good return I don' t think. Do you think having a lan line would be worth it to have an ad? Do yello page listings pull much weight? I imagine it depends on the area, size etc. Marshall ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Love" <davidlovepianos@comcast.net> To: "'Pianotech List'" <pianotech@ptg.org> Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 8:58 PM Subject: RE: prospecting for customers > They won't let you advertise without a phone line that you pay them for. > > David Love > davidlovepianos@comcast.net > > -----Original Message----- > From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org] On > Behalf > Of pianotune05 > Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 5:53 PM > To: Pianotech List > Subject: Re: prospecting for customers > > Hi Sid, > I'm definitly looking into the yellow pages.
