Plumbers - Learn How to Test Your Yellow Pages Advertising

You need to test your Yellow Pages ad to evaluate if it is successful or not and to see if it is worth spending the money on continual advertising year in year out. Advertising in the Yellow Pages is a year long plan and you need see if your ad is working over that year.

A good method of assessing how many calls you are receiving from your advert in the Yellow Pages is by having a bespoke telephone number in the ad so you will know that any calls received to this number have come through as an upshot of someone looking at your Yellow Pages ad. These calls need to be accurately logged and the subsequent inquiries tracked so you know how many jobs actually come through as a result of your original advert.

When you have measured your results you will be in a position to judge how you want to progress with your advertising in the next year.

You will clearly put a stop to any advertising that is not a success but if your advertising is effective you can obviously test other aspects in the subsequent year. You could try having an additional advert in another category and you could try the unique phone number method of testing in each ad to measure how each advert is working.

Using this kind of testing is really a win/win situation. If you consider the fact that if you have an advert that is not working, but you know it is not working, you are obviously not going to waste money doing the same thing again and you can utilise the money saved on other types of advertising and marketing that are bringing in revenue.
