Bill’s Top 10 List

There are a lot of benefits to vanity numbers.  These are in addition to the Benefits of Toll Free Numbers.  

10. INCREASED RESPONSE RATES - The most tangible and measurable benefit of a great vanity number is an increased response rate to all advertising. If you don’t do much advertising it won’t make much difference, but if you do any significant amount of advertising a good number can easily increase your response rate by typically 11 to 42 percent and sometimes more. And one third of your advertising can certainly be a lot of money.

9. CREDIBILITY & PRESTIGE - A good toll free number gives even the smallest start up, an air of credibility and authority. Consumers also trust companies more when they are more accessible. They feel more comfortable knowing they can pick up the phone and talk to someone real. You could be a one man business with just a cell phone and a website, but a good vanity number will help create a much stronger image in your prospects mind.

8. INSTANT BRAND NAME - Just like a good domain name, a good vanity number creates an almost instantly prestigious brand name. This is probably more true of 8-0-0 vanity numbers because of the amount of advertising that’s been done by large companies over the years, and the brand value of “1-800.

7. CUSTOMER FOCUSED IMAGE - Toll free numbers create a professional customer focused image. They show a companies desire to hear from consumers and make it easy for consumers to call and make the company seem more local no matter where they’re based.

6. STRONGER PRESENCE - A good vanity number makes you look larger and more established and instantly creates an image of a good more significant brick and mortar business, which has proven to be a real advantage in online marketing.  It also makes you look bigger d more successful so it’s a great way to Fake it till you Make It.

5. BETTER DOMAIN NAME AVAILABILITY - YourName.com is usually not available. But 1800YourName.com usually IS! This also has an added benefit of putting you ahead of even the A’s in alphabetic directory listings.

4. REPEAT AND SECOND HAND MARKETING - A good vanity number is one of the few things you can do to increase word-of-mouth and customer referral marketing as well as repeat customers. That’s because a vanity number makes it easier for customers to remember how to reach you for repeat orders and to tell someone else how to reach you too.

3. BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE - Toll free numbers not only improve customer service but create a strong customer service image and focus and allow for hand holding when unsure customers can talk to a live person.

2. IMPROVING CUSTOMER FEEDBACK - One of the most important and often over looked aspects of building a successful business is getting feedback and staying in touch with your clients, prospects, visitors etc. Knowing where visitors or prospects have questions, needs or problems is crucial to keep your business on the right track and growing.

1. ADDITIONAL SALES AVENUE - One of the most important benefits of a good toll free vanity number is that it gives you an additional channel to reach more customers and close more sales.  Some people are just more comfortable talking to a live person no matter how slick your website is.  And a lot of people just like to call and speak to a live person before committing so they know it’s real and they feel more comfortable.Unfortunately good vanity numbers like .COM domain names have always been hard to find, and like domain names, once they’re gone, they may never be available again. The bottom line is that anyone that does business or deals with customer over the phone can reap huge benefits from a great vanity number.

    As soon as the "Your new toll free # has been Activated!" message appeared, I called MY NEW 888# that I linked to my cell phone and I heard my outgoing voicemail message ! It's gotta be FM !

    I spoke with Bill once on the phone and he also promptly responded to my e-mail queries. Together with all the great information on the website, I couldn't be more satisfied! Even got real close to the number I was after.

    Great service,

    Testimonial 429 out of 1701

    When we were just starting our business we realized that it is important to have all our advertising be congruent... i.e.

    • Business Name
    • Domain Name
    • Telephone Number
    • 800 Telephone Number
    • License Plate Acronym

    Your service was crucial in helping us match our business name with our telephone number. Your site is easy to use, and provides immediate results. We like that!

    Testimonial 463 out of 1701

    I was fortunate enough to come across tollfreenumbers.com while starting from scratch in my search for an 800 number.

    I began by reading some of the history of the numbers and how they work. I always feel that when someone is trying to educate you about a topic, they likely a)Know the subject very well, b)Are legit, because I always feel that scammers prey on the ignorant. That was a large part of why I stuck around the site researching.

    When I had a question, I fired off an email and Bill responded (on an evening during a holiday weekend no less!) right away and provided pages and pages of possible vanity numbers for my business, all at no charge! Once I got my number, I was very impressed at the instant activation. It was exciting to try out the new number as it was one of the first steps in creating my new business.

    Thanks,

    Thank you for your excellent service. As promised on your website, sign-up for my number (1-866-WOOLVEY) was easy, activation was almost instantaneous and transfer to a permanent servicing company was a breeze too. I found in my initial research that many companies offering to service toll-free numbers charge much less to service a transferred number than if you ask them to source the number for you. The service you offer will pay for itself in saved monthly expenses in just 5 months. That is the kind of ROI that is a no-brainer for small businesses!

    Just a short note to say thank you for your site. It is the easiest I've ever experienced. I have tried other companies who say they can find an 800 number for you and want to charge an arm and a leg! Your site helped me find the right number in a few minutes affordably. You also sent me a reminder concerning switching the phone numbers over, which I forgot to do.
    Again thank you and I look forward to using your service again and again!
