How Does Yellow Pages Advertising Work?


The average Yellow Pages user is college-educated, earning an upper-level income. They are likely to live in a metropolitan area and be more mobile than the population as a whole.

Sophisticated, well-educated, affluent... the proverbial "sweet spot" for advertisers.
