Lowcountry Phone Directory publisher earns awards from national industry group

BEAUFORT, SC (May 13, 2022) — The haul of prizes earned by the Lowcountry Phone Directory keeps growing. So does publisher Brent Cooper’s thank-you list.
The local phone book published by CPC Yellow Pages captured eight prizes in the Association of Directory Publishers’ annual awards competition, including Publisher of the Year honors for the second consecutive year.
In all, the Lowcountry Phone Directory has won 31 ADP awards in the past four years.
“We’ve had an outstanding run of success,” said Cooper, who has spent most of his life in Beaufort and has owned the phone directory since 1994. “I think we owe that success to our readers and our advertisers because they just ‘get’ what we’re trying to do — publish a directory that reflects the community it serves.
“I have a great staff, of course, but our community contributors are responsible for so much of what makes our phone book unique and enduring.”
Case in point: The directory took first place for Excellence in Cover Design and Art Print for a photograph of the Hunting Island lighthouse submitted by local photographer Delk Haigler.
The image was one of dozens submitted by local photographers vying for the cover, which has become an annual tradition. Haigler’s shot also helped the Lowcountry Phone Directory win first place for Excellence in Cover Design and Art Product Branding, an award it has now won three consecutive years.
Award winners were announced May 5, during the ADP’s annual conference in Orlando, Fla.
CPC Yellow Pages has also won Publisher of the Year in three of the past four years, including 2021 and 2022. ADP President and CEO Cindi Aldrich commended Cooper for the accomplishment.
“Back-to-back Publisher of the Year wins in the Directory Excellence Awards competition is the ultimate mark of distinction,” Aldrich said. “CPC Yellow Pages won in numerous categories in a competition judged by its peers, and (Cooper’s) company was justly recognized as the best of the best by members of the directory publishing industry.”
In all, the Lowcountry Phone Directory won eight awards:
● Publisher of the Year;
● Excellence in Cover Design and Art Print, first place, Hunting Island Lighthouse, Delk Haigler photographer;
● Excellence in Cover Design and Art Product Branding, 1st place: Delk Haigler
(2022), Jane Marti (2021), Phil Heim(2020)
● Excellence in Directory Ad Effectiveness & Design, first place, The Retreat at Lady’s Island;
● Excellence in Marketing Sales Support Collateral, first place, Marv’s Outboard Motor Repair;
● Excellence in Marketing Direct Mail, Contest, Magazine, Newspaper, Outdoor or Event, first place, directory photo contest, best newspaper advertisement (The Island News), best outdoor advertising (Marlin Signs) and Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce e-flash;
● Excellence in Marketing Best Advertiser’s Website, third place, The Woodshop, www.WoodshopCustomShutters.com;
● Excellence in Marketing Industry Innovation, third place, Schiller & Hamilton Law Firm, front cover magnet.
The 2022 directory — the company’s 28th — was mailed this April to customers in Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton and Colleton counties. In addition to residential and business listings, it includes profiles of prominent area residents, images captured by local photographers, a newcomer’s guide, and hurricane tracking and evacuation maps. CPC prints his Yellow Pages on magazine-quality stock and uses call tracking to help advertisers measure the return on their purchases. They also deliver most of the press run through the U.S. Mail and via distribution locations rather than tossing them unprotected onto residents’ driveways and dirt roads.

ADP was founded in 1898 and includes members from the U.S., Canada, Germany and the Virgin Islands. Its Gold Book Awards are a jury- and peer-voted recognition of outstanding Yellow Pages production and marketing.

“This is is a local phone book (CPC Yellow Pages) in Beaufort that has had some of the best ROI of any marketing I do.

I am copying Derek from our marketing partner Scorpion and we may need to use a tracking number from their system.”

Thanks,

“I’ve been advertising my stucco / home improvement business, Spring Construction, in the CPC Yellow Pages for over five years. I continue to be pleased with the results I get from this worthwhile investment.

Just recently I got a call from Robert Martin, a long time Beaufort County resident who lives on Dataw Island, S.C. Robert was trying to find a reputable ‘local’ stucco repair crew for his home. He spent numerous hours online finding only ‘out-of-state’ stucco repair companies with toll-free 800 numbers. He gave up on the internet searching. The next night he took his lovely wife to dinner at Steamer’s restaurant where he picked up a copy of the CPC Lowcountry Phone Directory from a distribution rack at the entrance. While ordering their food, Robert scanned the yellow pages and under ‘Stucco Repair’ he found Spring Construction, a locally owned and operated company serving the Lowcountry.

While sitting at the table he ‘called George’- like the ad said. After a nice conversation we agreed to meet and now all of the Martins’ stucco problems are behind them. Thank you CPC Yellow Pages.”

CPC WINS BIG AT ADP

Lowcountry Phone Directory wins 8 national awards, including directory, publisher of the year honors

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BEAUFORT, SC (May 14, 2019) ― Brent Cooper has grown accustomed to collecting accolades from the Association of Directory Publishers, but the owner of Lady’s Island-based CPC was floored by the recognition his company received at the trade group’s annual convention earlier this month.

The 2019 edition of the Lowcountry Phone Directory won eight awards in the international competition for Yellow Pages publishers, including Directory of the Year for phone books with a distribution of 50,001 or more.

In addition, Cooper’s company was named Publisher of the Year, and he was re-elected to a three-year term on the ADP’s board of directors during the annual convention in New Orleans, La.

“I feel like we hit the jackpot,” Cooper said. “We go to a lot of effort to make sure the Lowcountry Phone Directory is something special, and to have that effort recognized by our industry peers is very gratifying.”

The 2019 directory ― the company’s 25th ― was mailed in March to customers in Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton and Colleton counties. In addition to residential and business listings, it includes profiles of prominent area residents, images captured by local photographers, a newcomers guide, and hurricane tracking and evacuation maps. Cooper prints his Yellow Pages on magazine-quality stock, delivers 84,000 of the 90,000 press run through the U.S. Mail and uses call tracking to help advertisers measure the return on their purchases.

The Lowcountry Phone Directory has won several ADP Gold Book Awards in recent years, and the 2019 prize haul was the biggest yet. By claiming six first-place awards and one second-place in various categories, CPC also won an additional prize ― the points competition for Publisher of the Year.

“Brent Cooper and his employees should be very proud of the awards they won,” said Cindi Aldrich, president and CEO of ADP. “His company exemplifies the excellent creativity used to effectively market his directories and his advertisers’ products and services.”

In addition to the directory and publisher of the year competitions, the Lowcountry Phone Directory took first place in:

●        Excellence in Marketing Magazine and Newspaper;
●        Excellence in Marketing Outdoors;
●        Excellence in Cover Design, Print;
●        Excellence in Cover Design, Product Branding;
●        Excellence in Directory Ad Effectiveness, Design and Print

The directory finished second in the Excellence in Marketing Sales Support Collateral competition.

ADP was founded in 1898 and includes members from the U.S., Canada and other nations. Its Gold Book Awards are a jury- and peer-voted recognition of outstanding Yellow Pages production and marketing.

CPC is owned and operated by Cooper, the company’s founder and a Beaufort native.
