Nope it's not. I have never run ads in there.

Seems to me the only people that use it would be the out of town contractors or the homeowners.

Weve had yellow page ads in years past , and found that we were getting to many calls from out of our area. Were mostly bidding work now , but still advertise in local papers to pick up any work that is close and easy.

So you stopped then, I take it?

I used to work for a company that ran them all the time, but they didn't have a good way of tracking where the phone calls were coming from. So to me it was just worthless.

I used to run ads for both demolition and dumpster rental. The demolition ads produced next to no results. All demo work is bid or referral. As for dumpster rental, I would get alot of "tire-kickers"; People calling everyone in the book looking for the lowest price. Needless to say I stopped all Yellow Book advertising. In addition, it has become way over priced.

I think we are in a business that doesn't rely on the phone book for business like we once did.
