Thanks for the tip. In know Yell can yield great=20
results in some industry sectors so I'm trying=20
hard not to prejudge it. It's a lot of cash to=20
throw away though if nothing comes of it.
Having exchanged a few emails with Yell over the=20
last 24 hours, I'm actually surprised at how=20
little data they have available to help customers=20
optimise their campaigns.
There don't appear to be many enhanced listings=20
to compete with in my area and the small amount=20
of data I have been given suggests it could=20
perform well - but then it would wouldn't it.
Plus id Yell are targeting my competitors at the=20
moment too (which they most likely are) this=20
could quickly become diluted as the same traffic=20
would simply be split between a greater number of=20
advertisers.
I guess one option is to give it a few months and see if anyone else bites?
