word of mouth marketing really works!

How many people can you influence with one newspaper ad?
(average cost in London £1,300)

How many people can you come into contact with in one year by using a sales force of up to 40 people?
Most business people advertise. We would never suggest that you stop your advertising. What we ask is that you "Compare the Value". Depending on position, one insertion of a small 4"x4" Display Ad averages about £1,300 in the London area. Annual membership in BNI costs a fraction of this amount. In addition, a referred lead is the best lead to get! You "Compare the Value."

The Evening Standard £1,000
Local papers £252 (average)
Yellow Pages £2,670 (quarter page)

Depending on the day of the week, and the position in the publication, the cost of a 4x4 display could cost you over £2,500, which would pay for several years' membership to BNI!
