Simple answer, no. We paid £2000 per year for a 'featured' listing for our most competitive keywords. From that, we receive less than 10 potential customers to our site per month. To my knowledge, only one customer has mentioned they found us through Yell.com and actually made a purchase (of little value
). I wouldn't advise paying for it next year, that £2k could go a long way in online advertising.

Yes, we do indeed This is a product range I am looking to add to the site within the next week, as well as a revision of the current categories. They will most likely be added in the 'Gardenwares and Water Features' section. Though we do sell via telephone/instore for home delivery on products not currently on our site, too

I am looking to purchase one in the next few days. I will hang on for your range. Hope you're not too expensive

Haha, you'll be surprised. An inhouse saying: Cheaper than Dobbies.
And we're not the only ones that say it, too. Shame I can't post live links to show you
Cheers
I used Yellow pages a few year back, paid £300 or so for listing but did not get any sales through it
Yeah I have for another one of my brands and I can happily say, it doesnt work and is a complete and utter rip off! No body uses the Yellow Pages anymore - everything is online, I would use up all the free options first before thinking about paying for adverts!
We're all tech-savvy people but, for the masses, it's not true to think everything has moved online. If you're selling to the price-conscious and non-technical then they may well find you in an off-line directory.
In the off-line world, though, you need to be far more proactive about targeting and contacting new customers and what you offer them needs to be timely and relevant.

Gumtree has always worked well for me, anyway
Spider man, do you advertise product or services?

Yes, usually whatever's the 'in' product at the time - ie. Giftware at Christmas time/mothers day...garden furniture in summer. Seems to convert relatively well for the amount of time put into it (5 minutes a week, tops)
