Yell? Honestly?

Yell costs me about £150 a year. I make my money back in the first week generally. Just finished a £2300 job that came from an extra yell listing I placed in a nice village that cost £130.

Must depend on where you are. It's the only form of advertising I do, and it really has worked.

I live in an area which is cheap to advertise in, but has a decent reach. I decided to add listings in 2 other cheap areas this year (low population but wealthy) and I've had lucrative jobs from both now.

If I was to advertise in Leeds I think it would cost about £8/900 for a medium weight listing, but there's too much competition there.

Who do you get to deliver the flyers

Those spotty scroats you keep in the van. Add two cans of red bull and crisps and your away. They do 30 - 100 houses either side of an install. If one flyer even gets within 5000m of a bin they are sacked and walk home.
