What is a CMR?
A CMR is a "Certified Marketing Representative" that has been licensed by the Local Search Association (formerly the Yellow Pages Association) to place advertising directly with the publishers of more than 8,000 print and online Yellow Pages directories throughout the United States and Canada, as well as on an international basis. Certification is given only to those select agencies that have met strict qualifying criteria, including special training, examinations, experience, financial strength, and expertise.
AB Advertising Was One of America's First CMRs
1976 Was a Great Year...
AB Advertising began its climb as a point of purchase advertising agency in 1976, with such national and international clients as Arco, Chevron, Isuzu, McCulloch Chain Saws, and the Squirt Company to name just a few. One of our clients was struggling with their Yellow Pages program and asked if we could help. They knew they could rely on us to administer the very exacting, time consuming, costly, and specialized tasks associated with their program.
Finding that even the largest and most sophisticated corporations and advertising agencies were not equipped to administer such specialized programs, our agency found its industry niche. Companies found that we could perform those tasks far better, with more technical and media-specific marketing expertise, and at considerable savings to their firms. No longer was it necessary to maintain contact with dozens of publishers and their many local representatives. They now needed only a single directory media contact. They saved time and money, and greatly improved their advertising results ... it was a win-win situation.
We soon received accreditation as one of the first Certified Marketing Representatives by what is now known as the Local Search Association, previously known at the Yellow Pages Association or YPA. Now, nearly four decades later, our national Yellow Pages agency is an elite professional in this small segment of the advertising industry.
Today is Even Better!
Did we mention that we still manage our first client's advertising and they steadily continue to grow? We like to believe that we play a significant role in their success. The fact is, our client retention is the best in the industry, and for good reason! We simply care more than most about the success of our clients...
