When it comes to boosting your bottom line and keeping you top-of-mind with customers, nothing pays off quite like a toll-free Custom 800 number. We’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: Companies that use unforgettable Custom 800 numbers in their advertising and marketing materials increase response by as much as 30%.
And that’s just the start of the benefits you’ll enjoy when you sign on with 800response:
They’re Simply Unforgettable
Months after a campaign has ended, advertisers report that the phones are still ringing. Why is that? Vanity 800 numbers are much easier to remember (14 times easier to remember, in fact) than numerics.
Let’s face it, a prospect who suddenly needs replacement windows is much more likely to remember, and call, 1-800-NEW-WINDOW than a random collection of numbers.
“800” says “Toll-Free”
The terms “toll-free” and “800” are one and the same in the minds of consumers. It’s simple and easy, the way they like it – which could explain why a 2002 Radio Recall study found that 95% of consumers recognize the 800 exchange as toll-free, but few connected with the newer toll-free exchanges like 888, 877 and 866. Seems these numbers are still confused with area codes – and where consumers are concerned, confusion usually translates to lost sales.
A Good Vanity 800 Number Is Hard to Find
Vanity 800 numbers are often difficult to find. You see them all the time, but the “good” ones are already taken. Advertising agencies have access to scores of toll-free number providers, but when it comes to memorable, prestigious vanity 800 numbers that clients associate with such high-profile advertisers as American Express®, FedEx®, Avis® and hundreds of other major corporations, 800response offers the largest selection of shared-use vanity 800 numbers in the country. No one has more.
Real-Time Decisions
When marketing dollars are on the line, you can ’t wait for a campaign to end to decide if it worked. 800response provides real-time, online call tracking reports that let you react quickly, adjust your tactics accordingly and increase your advertising effectiveness on the spot.
Confusion-Free Calling
As more and more area codes are introduced around the country, consumers become more and more confused about where their calls are going – and how much they’re going to cost. Custom 800 numbers reassure your customer that no matter where they’re calling from, the call will go through easily and at no cost to them.
Put Your Customer First
Having a Custom 800 number says right up front that you care about your customer. And at a time when great customer service is a top competitive advantage, 800response gives you the edge you need.
The 800 Payoff
When you measure the increased effectiveness of your advertising, you’ll realize that the incremental costs of using a Custom 800 number are worth every penny.
The Prestige Factor
Customers know that companies with top customer service standards have easy, memorable 800 numbers: Gateway ®(1-800-GATEWAY), FedEx (1-800-GO-FED-EX), and Toyota (1-800-GO-TOYO), to name a few. In your customer’s mind, your convenient, thoughtful Custom 800 number puts you in the same league with these prestigious, service-oriented companies.
"1-800-NEW-CASH has been tremendous for business. I don’t want to say I couldn’t live without it, but the number has most definitely gotten us to where we are right now. It makes my job easier, and makes me look really good in the eyes of the owner."
