Anyone ever done this in-between gigs?

If so, what's the most effective way of marketing?

Is it postcards in the newsagents window or sticking a flyer in the local paper.

I'm thinking about doing some when on the bench or at w/ends but wanted to get some idea of effort vs return from those in the know.

yellow pages is the best return I've seen, I tried in the local paper (half page add) but was lucky if I got back what I spent on it each week. Go for the yello pages everytime.

Roughly, how much did it cost to advertise in the the Yellow Pages?

Roundabout 300 notes last time I did it.

free of charge for a simple 1 line entry, i was quoted £500 p/a for the next step up (paragraph of text and link to your website).

i imagine it would bring the hits in though.

I got nothing through The Yellow Pages apart from letters from people wanting jobs.

You can put an advert in yell.co.uk for a £10 fee and £1 per day. You can switch it on and off when you like so when you get back into a contract you can turn it off and pay nothing.

Top tip Paddy - I'll look into this.
