Using press and magazine advertising, brochures, mailings - old hat or still cost-effective?

Thankyou so much - that worked! I didn't think of leaving the keywords out altogether, instead, I went through every single category and only came up with zero entries. It's a bit tricky to manouevre around this site ( for the aged ! )
Yipee - I even found my advert two villas lauro golf no.17
Now I'm going back to do some LMH spotting too and thanks again Memes for the site.

Just added mine for next weekend. Ski booking starting to come in, so it may be a good time.

Helen yours is already on the website. I tried to find mine but its not there :shock:

Can anyone who has the paper tell me if they see mine under France, I just put my website address www.skistudioalps.com and phone number.

The ref I have is 8304697 but when I search for that on the website it doesn't come up :cry:

That's been on there for ages though, as it came free with my H-R listing. I have just done the classified one, so it may not be active yet.

Have you had any luck with that one then?

Not a thing. A few enquiries via h-r but none as far as I know using the Times website, and no bookings.

Paolo - that's great!!

I guess someone saw mine...becasue, when I checked my blog stats, someone did a search for southernitaly word-press.com...I feel SO stupid now...seems my website didn't all fit on one line...so shows like "southernitaly.word-"
"press.com" on the next line and I guess people took the "-" seriously...whopps. can't seem to find if/how I can edit it though for the next weeks (or even how I'd fit it)...can find it online if I use keywords...but doesn't show up whe I do "self-catering " Italy...oh well! hopefully, it was in the print edition.

Hooray! It finally worked! Took me a few goes, though, and I'm still having this JPEG/jpeg problem which meant I couldn't post the pic I wanted to post. And it only worked in IE.

But I've got both my sites on for next Sunday, so here's hoping!
