  1. Ginger,
    I find that my clients are either dropping or minimizing the Yellow Pages. How does that match up with your recommended media mix?

  2. Hi Newt: I think yellow pages is definitely a media to be considered as part of an advertiser's Media Mix, but it depends on the advertiser. As mentioned in Post #1, you need to define your audience/customer base and then decide if the yellow pages is the best place to put your ad dollars.
