Yellow Pages.Advertising Medium or Marketing
Business“If you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em.”
Yellow Pages used to sell ad space in their mediums.
Do they profess to do marketing on your behalf?
Is this a conflict of interest? They should either: • sell advertising to a client or• buy / do your marketing
They can’t do both.
