Yellow Pages Australia Banned?!
Yellow Pages Australia Banned?!
Could it actually be true ?
Could we really see the Yellow Pages Australia banned ?
You know I believe 4 out of 5 New Businesses fail through not keeping up with the latest trends.
A while back I came across a report from the USA titled ‘How To Unsubscribe From The Yellow Pages’ instructing its citizens on the process of delisting from phone book publications.
If you are involved in Small Business your traditional means of advertising may be under threat ! It would seem that a number of U.S. Cities are now taking the view that such publications are not only ‘Unsolicited Mail’ and an Environmental Nightmare but also an indication of property vacancy prompting serious security concerns ! As a result in what could soon become a World Wide Trend numerous Councils including Boston amp; Cambridge are considering proposing legislation requiring every USA Telephone Directory Publisher to set up a Do not receive Registry.
Think about it when was the last time you called your phone company and requested a directory be delivered and dropped on your doorstep?
According to the Star Tribune:
“…85 of telephone directories are dumped into the regular trash even though it has been illegal to do so since 1992. State pollution officials call it one of Minnesota’s biggest solidwaste problems.
The Solution…
The Internet !
Phone numbers addresses and business directories can all be found on the Internet. It’s much faster than flipping pages and if you have ‘Skype’ you can click on the number for instant connection plus it might result in saving some trees from unnecessary destruction.
So having the Yellow Pages Australia banned may be good for the environment but remember ’4 out of 5 new Businesses fail’ I believe mainly through not keeping up with the latest trends.
Don’t you fall for the same trap!
