[pianotech] Yello Book...how's business? is "crisis"affecting it?

[Dean May]

To give yourself a free boost here is a tip that helps get more of your info
into the hands of Google users. From the Google home page, choose MAPS from
the choices in the upper left (Web, Maps, Images, News, etc). When you get
to the Maps home page you can find any business you want by typing in the
business name or category followed by city, state, and/or zip, all separated
by commas. So type in "piano tuner" followed by a comma and your zip code.
Find your listing in the list that pops up on the left column and click on
it. In the balloon that pops up over the map there is an edit option at the
bottom. Click there and you can edit all kinds of information regarding your
business, payment options, store hours, web address, optional phone numbers,
etc. You can even upload a couple of pictures. After completing your editing
process they will send you a post card to verify you are authorized to make
the changes. It's free and easy. 

 

Type "piano tuner, 47802" and you'll find me at the top of the list. :-)

I would hope everyone doesn't recycle them directly, otherwise a number of
members would be wasting their money, on the advertising. :-)

Having said that, I feel that with so many different telephone companies,
not as many people get the Yellow Pages to use.

So it is not like the old days, when Ma Bell's Yellow pages went everywhere.

Yellow pages has a minimal advertising effect.

Just my take.

I'm not a Verizon customer, but they throw one in the puddle in my driveway
nonetheless. I'm also not a Qwest or Yellow Book customer, but they do the
same. What an atrocious waste of paper... they all go directly to my recycle
bin.

Greetings,

 

      Well that must be it then,.... in Nov Yellow book I saw a "new kid on
the block" advertizing "graduate of North Bennet St School", ...so I guess I
gotta get a "braggy" Yellow book ad too. (I hate bragging; it has so much
more class to have a one line ad...like a good doctor, or something) OH
well, gotta change with the times. 

 

A friend of mine says Yellow book goes to ALL residences whereas Verizon
book is only distributed to their customers.

    I, for one, am totally slammed.  I have raised my prices this year and I

am still turning work away.  I have had the same phone number for 32 years,
so 
that probably helps.
