Is Yell.com Worth it?

[Grahame Case]

Hi Guys,

just wondering how many of you rely on Yell for your bookings. I have no presence on there at the moment, and was considering jumping on and doing it. But the price tag of £300 +vat was putting me off slightly.

No! Not had a phone call in 3 years from it.

I also have another business interest, and we've cut down our Yellow pages presence to a single line, because we got nothing from a full quarter page spread

just wondering if it is the way forward for Discos

[Vectis]

No no no no no no no no no ... :bang:

You'll get a LOT more bang for buck with the disco, entertainer and wedding-specific directories, including this one although in the interests of fairness other directories are available ;) Some free, some not. All worth checking out.

Ive got the free listing and its generated 2-3 bookings in about 12 months. Just birthday parties though, nothing like weddings etc.

As the old joke goes--

Even the time wasters dont phone up anymore:D :D :D

If you are looking to develop business at cheap rates probably useful---otherwise probably not!

My experience is that the serious quality clients who were ringing 5 years ago from YP or Yell now use the Internet going to Google mainly.

£30 a year to host a website--no contest--as I had to point out to the Yell rep:D

Others may have a different experience---its a big marketplace.

But next year Mobile Entertainments of all kinds are going to be heavily price driven other than for "special events" in my opinion.

i have another business and yell.com has done nothing for us. the book works better.

also had advertising in BT phone book which was also a waste of time.

[yourdj]

yes with a website link. but very expensive for a listing

[Jiggles]

I have only got one booking from it and that was over 2 years ago :D Free listing and Yell have pestered me ever since!

there are hidden benefits such as a very powerful reciprocal link?

Paid out for both sides of my business to have 2 adverts in Mobile Dj section and Equipment repairs in 4 areas for one year, in colour and 5 inches high by a coloum width. Looked the part, was better then others in the area and got 5 enquires and 1 booking for £2800 cost.
Last year free linage ad in the yellow book at 4 bookings, So we have decided to tell Yell.com and Yellow pages in polite words to forget it. As its just a waste of money.
More rather give it to the misses to go shopping with then spend it with them. Lol

I've had a free ad on Yell.com for the last year, which has been about as much use as an ash tray on a motorbike.

It's produced one phone call from someone who said she wanted to book, but never returned the booking form, despite my chasers.

Complete waste of time.
