I Don’t Need A Website … I Am In The Yellow Pages!

Years ago the only way to find a “business” or “service” was to pull out a thick book with really small print and some ads that was called The Yellow Pages.

In fact … “back in the day” many small business owners considered putting an ad or a listing in The Yellow Pages as their “marketing plan”.

If you were to ask them why they were putting an ad in The Yellow Pages, the typical response one might get is “because all of my competitors are so why shouldn’t I?”

A definition of “marketing” is “getting the right message to the right people at the right time”.  In other words … it is really important to get your message in front of potential customers in a timely manner!
People looking for specific businesses or services are, more than ever, going to the internet and searching online to find what they are looking for to meet their needs.

A company website will give you “exposure” as people are looking for what you have to offer.  Think of your “properly constructed and optimized” website as a “dynamic yellow page listing / ad” which gives you the ability to communicate to hundreds (even thousands) of potential customers.

When one compares the difference in placing an ad in the Yellow Pages vs. creating a website … the answer becomes very clear!

Content is “limited” with Yellow Pages (due to size and type of ad or listing), but “abundant” with a website (due to the number of pages that you want your website to be, due to not having any size, color or media limitations, etc.)!

Target is “local” with Yellow Pages, but “worldwide” (including local, regional and national) with a website!
Attention is “scattered” with Yellow Pages (due to ads below yours, ads above yours, ads next to yours, color ads on the next page, large ads mixed with small ads that distract you, too small of print both above and below your listing, etc.), but “focused” with a website (due to your customer … existing or potential … having one hundred per cent attention on your product or service)!

Updating is “yearly” with Yellow Pages (due to annual renewal), but “daily” (even hourly if the need arises or monthly if that is what you desire) with a website!

Cost is “expensive” with Yellow Pages, but “affordable” with a website!  In fact … an entire website can cost less than a Yellow Pages ad!  WOW … that is worth repeating … an entire website can cost less than a Yellow Pages ad!
