A great way to make your Yellow
Pages advert really work! Lots of businesses need to advertise in the Yellow Pages,
though not all businesses get the results they are looking for. A small business owner explained that her business
specialised in the sale of blank cards and envelopes to craft people and
hobbyists. She’d planned her ad,
which featured her company name and logo at the top big and bold. After hearing some advice from me she changed her
mind. She realised that, “If people are looking in a directory
they won’t know my company name and of course my logo means nothing to anyone
but me.” With this in mind she
decided that the eye catcher for her ad needed to be a question. And what was the question? “Are you looking for craft
cards?” As easy as that! Of course, people who had gone to the directory for craft
cards saw the headline immediately. It stood out like the proverbial sore
thumb. They started calling with the same response each time, “I saw your ad
and, as soon as I saw the headline, I thought that’s what I’m looking for!” The client base of her business increased more than 5 fold
after running that advertisement and more than paid for itself in 2 months. You can achieve these results too by making sure that your directory entry really works for you! And the best way to do that is to flag the reader down with a great headline that focuses on the problem that they want to solve. Then amplify and explain the headline in the body copy and give solid reasons why they should call you.
