800response Presents the 2010 Bull’s-Eye Ad Awards Winners

BURLINGTON, VT – March 7, 2011 - 800response, the leading provider of Custom 800 numbers (also known as vanity 800 numbers) and web-based call tracking, announced today the winners of the 2010 Bull’s-Eye Ad Awards. 
The annual advertising awards program honors creative use of vanity 800
numbers like 1-800-NEW-CARS and 1-800-ROOF-PRO in customers’
advertising campaigns.

The annual advertising contest evaluates customers’ advertisements that include vanity 800 numbers
in four media categories including radio, television, outdoor, and
print/direct mail. There is also a category for alternative ads, which
includes everything from loyalty program materials to promotional items.
The sixth category evaluates 800response customers’ ads submitted in
multiple categories as part of an overall integrated advertising
campaign.

2010 AWARD WINNERS:
Hish Rahman, the president of Precision Roof Crafters who
won first place in the Outdoor Advertising category says, “When you’re a
business whose entire creative team consists of three people, it’s nice
to have their efforts recognized on a national level. The vanity 800 number
- 800-ROOF-PRO – serves multiple purposes for us. It not only makes it
easier for potential clients to contact us; it also serves as part of
our branding campaign – “Roofing Professionals”. Many 800-ROOF-PRO
callers’ first question is, “Are you the Roof Pro people?” or “Are you
the Roof Professionals people?”  Considering the number is usually by
our logo, I find it interesting that the vanity number is what people
remember. We are proud of the positive message it conveys about our
company and use it in all our marketing.”
