How Effective is a Federal Suppliers List in Marketing?

As far as the actual guide, the real question is how many government purchasers use the federal suppliers guide? I`m in the electrical supply industry, and all of our government sales come from Google. This may not be so for your industry, but its 2008 and internet marketing may be a better investment than print marketing.
I also paid $1200 for ad in the guides and was very disappointed. The ads are basically listed one after onother on a CD.
My money would have been better spent elsewhere. I feel as if I was dupped!
Why would they need to limit the number of companies that advertise with them?
Why will they not let you see the guide until you buy?
Why are their testimonials missing any identifying info of the person giving the testimonial?
Why do they not tell you how Govt. procurement agents are supposed to find out about the guide and any one you talk to has never heard of it.
Why would a govt. agent want to use a guide that has so few listings
Why do they not care about qualifying your company in any way? any agent who did want to use it my quickly find the info is limited and is partially garbage.

When a reputable company does come along, it has a tough time getting the respect it deserves.
Procurement Specialist
Federal Suppliers Guide
my name is john warren and i`ve been employed with fsg for 10 yrs as of dec 22 2008.
i work in the procurement division at fsg and have hundreds of clients that are doing business with the federal government due to our assistance. i`ve had 53 clients receive their GSA contract from the federal government in 08 and our first award of 09 on jan 5th. advertising alone with limited competition does not guarantee business however we provide free customer service on the back end that with a commitment from a client does close contracts with the federal government. i run the south carolina location and invite anyone interested to visit at our location here or at corporate in florida and see what we are accomplishing for small businesses.
i will not allow employees to be on these sites so please contact me if you are serious about learning the truth of what our mission support is. my number is 864 297 0786/0787fax
