    Bit of a wierd one..

    I'm trying to arrange all the categories for a 'Business Directory'.. am I missing anything out?

    I've got to sort it out for a client, he wants to target businesses in his local city and offer them advertising in the specific category. I'm just wondering if there are to many categories or not enough.. :S

    Accounting
    Advertising
    Building
    Car Hire
    Car Repair/Parts
    Car Salesrooms
    Carpenters
    Childcare
    Computers
    Design
    Distribution & Haulage
    Driving Lessons
    Electricians
    Employment Services
    Estate Agencys
    Florists
    Funerals
    Garden Services
    Gyms & Health Clubs
    Hairdressers
    Insurance
    Jewelery
    Legal
    Office Equipment
    Partys
    Photography
    Plumbers
    Printing Services
    Removals
    Security
    Solicitors
    Takeaway Food
    Taxi Services
    Van & Truck Hire
    Web Design
    Weddings

    36

    What you reckon?

    He needs to be able to ring up businesses in these categories and hopefully sell them advertising, those are the categories I think he could potentially sell to. For example, he could ring up 'photographers' and offer them a listing in the 'Wedding' category.

    If your bulding this for a client, look at that client being able to manually add new catagories, then just lst a few of the more common ones and then let the owner add as he goes.

    you have ? also only listed catagories, i would suggest sub catagories to also be added. ie

    SHOPPING > TOYS
    SHOPPING > CLOTHES

    BUSINESS > OFFICE FURNITURE
    BUSINESS > BUSINESS CARDS

    ETC ETC

    You’re missing most of the industry and manufacturing topics that are important for a business directory. Some of your listed topic names are incorrect and sound amateurish. Exploring some of the major business directories could be a great deal of help to you.:)
