[QUOTE="Star*, post: 185657, member: 4964"] Advertising IS beyond expensive - Our Yellow pages ad for the business is in the neighborhood of 2k a month for a 1/2 pg. ad. I get totally annoyed with the telemarketer calls stating they are an at&t "AUTHORIZED" sales person (it means Karp) zip, nada, zilch - at&t authorized means you don't now and have not been associated with at&t - but are selling me do-do. I hang up or ask them to FAX over their info. the smart ones will always say "May I have that fax" and I say - If you are att authorized - then you have my phone and my fax and I hang up - because that is true. I think the yellow pages could be a tad tinier in their print - ARGH -and have asked to have a legally blind version for our office in larger print? They told us to use the internet (it comes full circle) they will be older with poor eyesight someday So we bought a magnification sheet - and darn if the one with alzheimers looses it all the time. Groan Your best bet is to take the brand name - and type in the google bar that brand name and/or -sales for zipcode - xxxxx ...... As far as information and 411? Our cell phones are given to the "young", sighted salespeople. They are also given a phone book, and a computer. And what do I have to $U#@(_@ about every month? 411 calls are $1.50 EACH people - you're young LOOK IT UP!!!!! ARGH. nope - they still have 411 calls for information - citing they were driving down the road and couldn't pull over to use the phone book - but if I would pay for blackberry internet service ????? They could look THAT up while driving. (either way the co. pays - accident or $1.50 411 service) To be young and not be able to look up a number in a phone book - ah the days......and then to lame excuse it with - can't pull over and get away with it? Nice.........I'm old lady rant there with yoU! And don't EVEN get me started on HOW LONG these MEN take in the toilet EVERY FRICKING MORNING - and do I provide air freshener? Yes - does it get used? HE)) NO. Do I need to clean up their crossword bathroom puzzles and pens? Sure - I was "paid" to clean up.
