Finally making the jump into paid advertising

Called the yellowpages.com guy today that called me a while ago and that Geiser shot me the info for, I deleted it by accident. Online placement for my ad in my coverage area was $47/month. New category, so we'll see what happens.

What new catagory did they list you under?

They have a new section for electronics recycling on the website. But for my area there's only one other company not located in my area. They just paid to post there.

I ran the ad and am waiting. Whatever gets the word out.

I jumped into paid advertising this week myself! I found a company that sends out phone books with just businesses in them. Usually you have to pay per county but since I am the only ewaste business around I got a great deal of 2 counties for for the price of 1! The best part is that they have 100% saturation so every single household in those two counties will get one and when they look under e-waste recycling, they will only see my company! plus they are designing an ad for me and placing me in multiple categories.... It's only around $295..... awesome deal I think!

An interesting approach, do let us know how to it works out for you two. I know I'm curious to hear the results if you guys decide to share.


Sirscrapalot - off to enjoy the 4th.

I do beleive I got 2 calls one from a Doctor, and one from an Employment Agency. I do some other free advertising. They didn't really seem like CL people. The second call was 4 computers, and 2200 lbs. of office desks and file cabinets. They called back and asked me to move their copier on Thursday morning. I quoted $150 minimum and will pick up a file cabinet from new office. Nice to be up $150 plus to start the day.

I find that the $5 sign I put on my trailer gets me the most calls.it says "free scrap metal and appliance removal".its now 24/7 free advertisement.




free advertising that always gets me calls.
