Comment on Phone Books As Door Stoppers by Nichole

I agree with Stephanie, I don’t think I’ve actually flipped through a Yellow Pages phone book in years… Access to the internet is so easy now-a-days, especially with Public Libraries and schools providing free access. Most places that I frequent often provide emails with coupon or discount offers in them and often times I can find coupons on the internet, whether through their website or through other ones like CitySearch or Yelp and even here on CityWaboo. I find the phone book a waste of space, but I will admit it’s a good resource for emergency situations…. I’ve only noticed them being used at pay phones.

I know this is only one opinion, but I throw them away. For fast resourceful and simplicity, I prefer the internet or 411. What is so… quick about looking through a book of over a thousand pages? Coupons, I’ve never used them.

That’s one perspective. Here’s another. “Simplicity, quickness, ease and choice” often translate this way - last year US consumers referenced the print Yellow Pages over 13.4 billion times. And many, many people don’t have Internet access during the work day, so the book becomes an important source for them. We know from our research that consumers like to use a number of sources when shopping and the ROI small businesses get from the YP is almost unbeatable. Yellow Pages, in any format, produces buyers - not browsers. Print and online, it’s not an either or proposition. Something to consider.

If you’ll notice, there is an icon that allows you to report inappropriate reviews. We make sure to approve all photos before they are posted, however we can not possibly manage every single comment made on a review, therefore, if you notice an inappropriate review, report it to us immediately so that we may take care of the issue. Thank you for your comment.

I like this idea. This feature combined with reviews gives you a preview to the business before you even walk in.
