Did you know that getting listed in a Who’s Who Directory can bring you more exposure, more traffic and greater visibility for your company or organization. Not to mention the increased credibitlity you receive just because you are now among the “Who’s Who World.”Â
There are dozens if not hundreds of Who’s Who directories to choose from. You may have been contacted by some already. Consider this:Â many of these directories offer a free listing and once you are listed you can use the new honor to promote your company. In most cases the only time you would have to pay is if you purchased a copy of the directory. And if you are not going to use it to market to others in the directory, don’t buy one. Unless of course, your ego needs it.
In fact, I am not sure what the actual value of paying to be listed would be except to pad the wallets of the listing source. Of course, that also depends on who would ultimately have access to the information. If your target market is buying these types of directories then PAYING to be included could be a wise business decision. Getting listed is another thing. If no one has approached you yet (give ‘em time to find you, they will), you can easily find THEM. You can do a google search for Who’s Who Directories and come up with dozens of results. I did and here’s what I found:
Marquis Who’s Who Print DirectoriesÂ
Madison Who’s Who directory Â
There are also specialized, targetted directories that people might search for such as:
Website Magazine Who’s Who Directory
Expert Witness Directory Yearbook of ExpertsÂ
One word of caution: According to Wikipedia, “While there are many legitimate Who’s Who biographical directories, some unscrupulous individuals have created Who’s Who scams that involve the selling of “memberships” in Who’s Who directories that are created online and through instant publishing services. These are essentially thinly veiled scams designed to get individuals to part with their money. “Before parting with your money, be sure and do your due diligence. Contact others in the directory, ask to see a sample, get references, do the google search. Once you are statisfied with your results, you can determine if the directory meets your professional needs.Â
