"No," he replied. "It brought us just one new client last year. The only reason we are in there is because all our competitors are."

One of the few complaints I hear from small business owners when it comes to generating business or leads by way of referral is that too many of the referrals they are offered aren't a fit for the business.

Note: White space is money wasted.. The media sales person may tell you a good advertisement should have at least 25% of white space. But the rep has a monetary interest in selling you big spaces.
