What a joke. We are Business Brokers and have used the printed version of Yellow pages For Years. (It used to work)
With the advent of the internet we have found that no business person uses the printed media any more. yellow pages charges over $2000 a month for a half page PER CITY. their promise to us was that we would be inundated with inquiries. NOT ONE has been received for the last 6 months. Of course they expect to be paid for something that no longer works.
For example when you use google to find a business broker you still have to wade through a stack of offerings befor you can even get to yellow pages in other words you must be in the yellow pages data base befor you can find a listing. SO WHY PAY THE OUTRAGEOUS CHARGES FOR YELLOW PAGES WHICH NO LONGER WORK FOR THE BUSINESS PERSON.
