Making Your Yellow Page Ad Pay Off
With
about 80% of CPA firms using yellow page ads and spending several
thousand dollars a year on them, getting your ad to stand out is
important.
Here are some do's and don't's:
-
Don't use your firm name
in the headline.
-
Do use some headline (or
the most prominent portion of the ad) to grab the reader's attention
and to point up what you do and how you're different.
-
Don't cram the ad. If
you do, people will shy away from reading it. Leave plenty of
"yellow space."
-
Do include a "visual"
(e.g. logo, line drawing, etc.) to direct the eye of the reader to
your ad.
-
Do make sure the
telephone number is large enough to be easily readable.
-
Do include your street
address in the ad--yellow page shoppers "shop" location.
-
Do consider an accent
color. If you're the only one, it should more than compensate for
the additional cost.
-
Do think about other
headings in the phone book that may be appropriate (such as tax
preparation).
-
Don't he afraid of
attracting too many small clients; that will sort itself out. The
important thing is to make the phone ring!
-
Do track the ad's
effectiveness by asking all new clients how they heard of you or
your firm.
