Testimonials from Customers and Agencies Using Vanity Numbers

You might be asking, "Why do businesses and advertising agencies like to use vanity 800 numbers in their ad campaigns?" 

So, I'd like to share a collection of testimonials we've had the pleasure of receiving from customers and advertising agencies we work with.  These people represent businesses within many industry segments, and all have a different challenge their faced with overcoming.  Sometimes that challenge is to improve ad response.  Sometimes it's to elevate the awareness of their business in a market.  Or, it may be because they need a way to track incoming calls - which a vanity 800 number and toll-free 800 service can do.

As a vanity number provider, we can talk all we want about the benefits of using Custom 800 numbers (also known as vanity 800 numbers) but the real story, as they say, is in the telling. And when it comes to advertising response results, 800response clients and agency partners are also our best salespeople.  Here is an ever-building collection of responses we've received after customers activate a vanity number and use it in their ad campaigns to increase business...

AUTOMOTIVE CLIENTS:

"Our vanity number has far exceeded the goals we set for savings and increased incoming calls.  Once we switched to 800-411-FORD® we saved the dealership $14,000. That's a lot of money for an auto dealership and it was nice to have that money to put back into our advertising."


"1-800-NEXT-CAR is synonymous with our locations. The vanity number is a main contributing factor to the strength of our name recognition in our markets...By sustaining a steady ad campaign over the years with our vanity 800 number, people are remembering the phone number and contacting us to complete credit applications."

"I really believe that advertising in this down-market is a core factor in our current success.  I wonder where we would be if we had cut our advertising initiatives, and if we didn't have the vanity 800 number."

-- Marketing Manager, JD Byrider

"The tracking reports prove that there was an increase in call volume in the first two months after we started using1-800-PRE-OWNED. Using the daily call summary we identified where we should change our radio strategy slightly, adding more rotation on the stations, in order to further increase call volume."
-- Account Executive, Brown & Miller Advertising


HOME IMPROVEMENT & REMODELING CLIENTS:
"Every day, 1-800-ROOF-PRO reinforces the credibility and professionalism of our company when people see the number on our vehicles and signs. And, it is more memorable than the local number we were using before.  Now people automatically associate 1-800-ROOF-PRO with our services, and the "PRO" perfectly conveys that we are a professional and credible roofing company."
"We use 1-800-NEW-COOL in all of our ads so we touch people multiple times with our brand. Customers will remember our number when they need our services."
-- Marketing Specialist, HVAC Manufacturer

"The 800-NEXT-WINDOW number has made a huge difference in our business - doubling our monthly installations and catapulting us into the top ten performing locations.  "The call tracking reports are incredible. Now that we know our peak times are during the lunch hours, we are fully staffed to cover our busiest time of day. As a result of the staffing changes we are taking more calls and scheduling more appointments."
-- General Manager, Window Dealer in DC


HEALTH CARE CLIENTS & AGENCIES:
"As an agency, our job is to create successful campaigns for our clients. The combination of the radio ads and a vanity 800 phone number brought it all together and boosted call volumes from an average of 57 calls a month in 2001, increasing every year to an average monthly volume of 385 calls per month directly from the advertising over the past four years."
-- Glenn Anderson, ViaMark Advertising

"The vanity 800 number with call tracking is the single most valuable service we use to increase calls and capture the results of our ad campaigns.  Since using the vanity numbers in our ads, we are experiencing the best revenue months in history."
-- Administrator, Medical and Cosmetic Dermatology Practice

"I cannot imagine deploying an ad campaign without a vanity 800 number.  Potential patients remember 1-800-NEW- STUDY much more easily than our client's local numeric number.  More incoming calls improves our ability to find qualified patients in less time, and our return on advertising investment increases."


EDUCATION CLIENTS:
"The results have been phenomenal. We've surpassed the goals we set for ourselves by 200% once we made the move to using 800-NEW-CAREER and 866-NEW-CAREER.  In this economy, more and more people are thinking about a new career and making changes to become their own boss. Our advertising is reaching more of those people, drawing in more leads, and our enrollment levels are increasing every month."
-- Director of Admissions & Marketing, Career College

"The benefits of using a vanity 800 number with tracking and recording are huge. We were receiving between 350 and 450 calls per month. After activating the vanity 800 number that increased about 70%, to 600 to 700 calls per month. We now know that we are getting the maximum potential out of every ad dollar spent with the tracking reports."
