... & so says the person who goes under the name "A1" ...... mmmm
as i don't advertise in the YP only on the web (i get more than enough enquires via the web that i could ever get via YP) it's not really relevent to what to call a show as search engines don't list in alphabetic order & as many more people make the net their 1st choice in searches then it kinda makes sence to think of attention grabbing names or rememberable tag-lines before calling your disco with the view to get a better alphabetic position in listings.
Although i have to admit there are companies around under the name "aardvark disco" for deliberate advertising purposes & even sometimes when reading the classifieds on the local advertising media or in the local paper you often see people that start there adverts
"about your wedding disco... call Disco for all your entertainment requirements"
or one i did see a while back.. "Abracadabraba! you will think our mobile disco is magic"

For the best illustration of this, have a look at PLUMBERS in Yellow Pages, there's pages of listings with .................000000000000000011111111111 and 11111111111111AAAAA11111111111.......11111111 etc etc
We advertise in over 35 YP books, and I've had long discussions with our National Account Manager about this farcical malpractice, although Yell still allow it to go on.
If you place a single full stop before your business name ie call yourself ".STARLIGHT" or .STARLIGHT." for symmetry within the advert, it will gain you the desired results.
Although I'd think twice before spending too much with YP, as it ain't what it used to be four or five years ago.
Hope this helps

absolutely Wolfie :teeth:
we should know, since we're YP's largest advertiser in the "Discos-Mobile" classification, both in terms of number of books (coverage) and annual spend
YP is still an important source of new business for the company, however like I have already stated, it is not what it used to be.
WIth regards to Yell accepting business names prefixed with multiple punctuation, as in the examples shown on my earlier thread, IMHO this should not be permitted. I believe Yell should ask to see a copy of your Certicicate of Incorporation, VAT return, Bank Statement, etc etc to verify a business name, this would eliminate the foul play.

You've also got to consider the flip side.... I know of plenty of people who disregard completely any businesses starting with symbols, numbers and (I'm sorry!) A1 as well, as they don't feel that they are the 'reputable' end of the market. Also, many people pick up the book with their left hand and flick through from back to front.
