Over a year ago, I wrote an article called Beware The Digital Age. I felt there was so much material written about the good news side of new media – and there is a good side – that people needed to be made aware of the negative side and all the many hidden traps that accompany this new advertising medium.
The major warning I wrote was, “… they are dying industries. Industries who have felt it coming for years but are now at the Pearly Gates.

Okay, so I am now assuming that you, after reading the first two blog posts, believe paying out your hard earned cash for yellow directory advertising is a total waste. If you don’t believe that, you need to reread the first two installments on this topic or go back to reading about unicorns and their rainbow poo.
Yellow directory advertising is over. Permanently.
So what’s a person to do? Simple, next time, tell your yellow directory rep you are out all together.
Now, I know you are probably thinking: “Okay it’s over for phone directories, but I will just slash the budget by 50% or 75% or 90% this year.” Kinda ease your way out of yellow advertising.
