Have You Tried the Interactive Yellow Pages?

Did you know the first Yellow Pages were published in 1883, back when there were actually very few phones for anyone to actually be calling. However there has always been a need for businesses to advertise and the phone book has consistently provided a source for advertising for over one hundred and some odd years now. However,it's not your grandma's phone book anymore. So while yes there is still a paper copy of the phone book printed, most consumers are doing their business searches online and interactively. That doesn't mean they're not using the phone book to search it just means they are using the web as their access source for the phone book. 

What this means for the average consumer is it's easier to find a business and there are more interactive components to help you actually locate the business you're looking for including maps and easier access to websites for all the information you could possibly want about their business.

Printed phone books certainly offer you the basics giving you the who, what, where, and why but they don't give you maps, menus, and other interactive components to help you make a decision about which business to call. And unless a business wants to spend its entire advertising budget on a one-page ad in the phone book it wasn't very likely that you were likely to get a hold lot of helpful information from their ads in the first place.

Interactive phone books on the other hand give you access to everything to make an informed decision. These interactive Yellow Pages even give consumer reviews of the business and a consumer rating to let you make an informed decision and help you become an even savvier consumer than ever before.

Another advantage to using the interactive phone book is that it is set up for you to send information about a business directly to your phone, e-mail the business, and even share information by tweeting it or putting it on your Facebook account. Did you know that you can even use this interactive phone book to find hundreds of deals from local businesses? While the old paper version of the phone book offered coupons they were often irrelevant to you or dated. But with the interactive aspect of the Yellow Pages you are able to locate deals that are relevant and timely to your needs based on what you are searching for.

Clearly even though the Yellow Pages has been around for the duration it appears is going to continue to stay around until the very end because it is been able to grow and change to meet the changing needs of the modern-day consumer and how they access and share information.If you haven't explored the interactive phone book you may want to spend some time finding out how much more is available using an interactive source than the traditional Yellow Pages-you just may be surprised by what you find.
