Musings on the Restaurant Business
Did you know restaurant services in the US is a $430 Billion per year industry? I didn’t.Common sense would suggest that good restaurants be placed in high-income areas such as Silicon Valley. Why then does PaloAlto - Menlo Park - Los Altos have so little to offer? After all, the population here eats out a lot, and with th

Advertising and Service Company Business Models Considered
Not all Business Service Companies should invest in advertising to promote their companies. But I thought all businesses must advertise to stay in business? Well not all of them and let me tell you why. Once you have a secured number of customers you may not wish to advertise because you cannot take anymore work or you do not wan

No, it’s not the historical battle between two New York newspapers in the late 1800’s to see who could dig up the biggest scandal to sell papers. It’s the world of directory publishing you know as the Yellow Pages. Yet ironically, it’s been around as long, if not longer. But it’s gone through many changes in the past century. For instance, it’s in full-color and printed on white paper with yellow ink, to give the appearance of yellow paper. It also has an Internet counterpart for every book printed. It’s also available as a CD or DVD in many areas. No, it’s not your father’s Yellow Pages anymore.

Can you answer “yes” to any of the following questions:

Do you know what the average customer is worth, within your industry?
Do you know the percent of profit you should spend on YP advertising?
Do you know what part of your ad is the most effective?
Do you know what part of your ad is least effective?
Have you recently looked at all your competitor’s ads?

If you even said “yes” to any of these, I am proud of you. If not, you’re pretty typical as far as being a not-so-savvy marketeer. But, then again, that’s probably not your expertise. And it shouldn’t be. You have a business to run. How can you keep up with promotional trends and such? But you ought to know how your money is being used and whether it’s working hard for you to bring in potential customers.

Centralised And Decentralised Books
Inventory purchased by head office and sent to branches for them to sell can be invoiced to the branch at cost price or at an amount above cost (usually a fixed retail selling price).

Vonage Commercials; Case Study
Perhaps you have seen the Vonage commercials on TV, as they are very entertaining and fun to watch. They are similar to Americas Funniest Home Videos. The tagline is always the same; Stupid Things People Do.And of course they are making a correlation to the price people pay on their phone bill instead of switching to Vona

So, you have a choice. You can hire a YP consultant or pick the local YP rep’s brain. The first may be costly and the second may not work. That’s because they have little time to spend on just your account and they are paid by the publisher. Therefore, they may not be as unbiased as you might think. So they will recommend (a) what makes them a nice commission, and (b) what the publisher wants to sell you, this time round.

Instead consider something else. Educate yourself by reading about the industry and what it takes to create a successful YP campaign. There are a few good books available, but you might want to start with “Inside the Yellow Pages” for a solid overview of what you’ll need. It’s a small investment in your business future and might save you a lot of time and money.
