Yellow Page and Directory Advertising
Directory Advertising is advertising that appears in a classified directory. Although the most commonly known classified directory is the Telephone Yellow Pages, some 7000 classified directories of various types are published in the U.S. each year. Directories such as real estate locators, trade associations, chambers of commerce, industrial groups, government agencies, newspapers and advertising services, and other organizations can also be used for marketing purposes. Each directory features advertising aimed at a publisher’s specialized field.
Compared to other forms of media, directory advertising is usually less expensive and provides advertisers with the opportunity to call attention to their product or service at a time when the customer is actively looking and prepared to buy.
