Sometimes what works best isn’t the most popular thing.

09/01/2008

Negative Political advertising may be less popular but it definitely works better just like vanity numbersI was writing a response to a Businessweek article that suggested that numeric toll free numbers may be better than vanity numbers and I came up with an great analogy for this political season.

People often say when they’re surveyed that they prefer positive political ads over negative ads, but when push comes to shove politicians always use the negative ads for one reason, because they work better. The same thing is true with vanity numbers. Regardless of what you personally prefer or think other people prefer, if it’s important to you to get more calls then it’s important to get a number that incorporates some memorable word or phrase related to your business.

We are one of the only people in the vanity number business that can actually help you in both directions, whether you’re searching for vanity 800 numbers that spell things or for premium easy to dial numeric numbers. So we’re not pushing either one. But the bottom line is that making your front door to new business memorable is more important than making it easy to open once you get there. Sure it’s nice for it to be easy to open, but that doesn’t make any more or less people open it. But making it more memorable definitely does make more people open the door, just like making the rest of your advertising more memorable does too.

        I have to say your helpful and expedient responses are greatly appreciated. The fact that you would take time to help a stranger such as myself speaks volumes about your integrity. This world would be a much better place if more people had your attitude. Thank you for your help and may God bless you,

        To Whom it may concern,

        I just wanted to drop a line to say that it was a sincere pleasure dealing with TollFreeNumbers.com. After spending 9 years in Japan where companies thrive or perish based on service, you learn to expect it. Unfortunately that is not the case here in North America. It's nice to see that there are still companies out there that keep service as a number one priority. The experience from start to finish was fantastic!SecuSolutions is a specialized security company in Calgary, Alberta Canada. providing security products and services

        Bill was able to get the number list to me instantly. The association words were exactly what I was looking for. He also referred me to another company to get my 800 number working. It was switched on as soon as I faxed them my paperwork. I would refer Bill and the 3rd party he recommended to my friends and clients.

        Thanks,
