That Super Bowl Snickers Commercial Wasn't Eye Candy To This Mechanic
To the editor: I read in the newspapers and also saw on the news that the Snickers TV commercial that was shown on the Super Bowl was pulled off the air because it offended gays and lesbians. I’m glad because, although I am not gay, that Snickers commercial really upset me and my co-workers (who are not gay either). To see two guys kissing is one thing I don

Every month you write that check to the directory publisher for your ad or program. Do you ever stop to wonder if it’s worth it? Have you had the same one for years? Is it bringing in the type of customer you prefer? Where do you go for these answers?

The obvious choice is your local Yellow Page rep. But guess who he or she works for? If you answered, the customer, you’re in for a rude awakening. Let me put it this way; who pays their salary, commissions, and provides their benefits? So they actually work for publisher and owe all their allegiance to them. Therefore, when you ask them for information or explanations, it’s always tempered by that one factor. In that instance, they are giving you the facts and references that support their suppositions. Is it unbiased and not-self serving? What do you think?

This is not a knock against all Yellow Page reps. They do a great job and truly want to help the business. But are they totally honest? It depends. If they have been told to push a particular product, say a coupon or Internet item, they will offer a plethora of reasons that it will succeed. After all, they have a quota to reach. So expect a pitch regarding the latest and greatest new marketing idea as conceived by the publisher.

Benefits You Should Expect From A Cashback Portal
The chief advantage of being a member of a cash back portal is of course the cash back deals you get upon every purchase.

Some of the other benefits you should look for are:Number of retailers l

Where does that leave you? You just want to know if the color is effective, is the ad too large or small, whether it’s placed in the correct heading and is it in the proper book? Your rep is paid by commission, according to how much you buy. Will they recommend that you remove the color or reduce the size? Hardly. They have a vested interest in keeping your current spending the same or more. There must be a better method. Hire a good consultant. So, how do I know so much?

I was a YP rep and consultant for nearly 25 years and, prior to that, had my own advertising agency. I also have a degree in marketing. I’ve been designing Yellow Page ads for the past three decades. So I have expertise in YP creation and have advised almost 7000 companies on how to put together the most effective YP ads. If you have a display or in-column ad, regardless of size, color or position, I can tell you it most probably needs improvement in the headline, artwork, body text, placement, book, or heading. You must understand the ROI or return on investment and learn how to track the results as well.

So consider getting some expert advice before you place your next ad. There are many good and inexpensive places to turn, some available on the internet. Make sure the consultant is well qualified with at least 25 years experience. Otherwise, you’ll be wasting your own time

Although workplaces and management styles have come a long way in the last decade, the command and control style of management behaviour remains common practice in many companies.But these days we are hearing about a more collaborative and engaging style – a “Coach” approach or being a “manager-coach”. This is a positive shift – as long as we support our managers in understanding what on earth is meant by a “coach approach”, and how expectations of them are changing.
