\"\"<\/a>We at Dentons are often asked whether there is still a place in the digital age for our print directories, filled with listings and adverts for businesses and services.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, sure, if you need to find, for example, a plumber in your local area, use dentons.net online directory on your mobile or tablet as an alternative to looking it up in the printed book. So, does that make our 25 local print directories obsolete?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On the contrary \u2013 rather than diminishing, demand for our \u201cbooks\u201d remains buoyant. Less than a year ago, in fact, we launched a brand new directory for Salisbury and environs, and had no trouble filling it with 100 pages of categorised information, including hundreds of paid-for display adverts.<\/p>\n

Our \u201cflagship\u201d directory for Bath (the original first published by Dentons 50 years ago) still packs in more than 200 pages of listings after half a century of being updated every year.<\/p>\n

In total many thousands of businesses across our area obviously find it valuable to maintain a presence in one or more of our stable of local print directories.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re certainly not still printing directories because we\u2019re sentimentally attached to the origins of our business!<\/p>\n

Why we keep \u2018em coming!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve moved on, obviously, now offering creative and digital services alongside our online and print directory business, but there are many reasons why we believe we\u2019ll still be publishing and delivering new, updated annual editions of our books for many years to come:<\/p>\n
