How Do I Optimize My Yellow Pages Dollar?
Logos, Illustrations, and Borders

Logos and illustrations serve two purposes: communicating important information and attracting attention. The guidelines below will help you use these elements effectively in Yellow Pages advertising:
  • Distinctive logos should receive prominent space.
  • Illustrations should be large, graphically pleasing, and distinct from those used in other ads in the heading.
  • Illustrations can sometimes be used instead of words to communicate products or brands being offered.
  • Illustrations should point inward, to your copy (not your competitor's ads).
  • Borders should be distinctive but not overpowering.
