    The Auto Repair Shop’s Guide to Effective Yellow Page Advertising
    I’m proud of the fact that you have a business that helps people in need. I’m happy that you can trouble-shoot just about any engine/transmission/electrical failure that comes your way. You probably have certified technicians and a state-of-the-art facility. That’s a

    • Unique

    • are sleeping or awake

    • want a Barbie or a baseball bat

    • have been naughty or nice

    Santa invented viral marketing. As his customers get older and become parents, they market to the emerging group of customers for him. They know that if they deliver Santa's message, they will benefit from their children's good behavior.
