Creativity in deli meat!

877-FLIM-FLAM Boarshead deli meat hotline People often come here “married” to their first idea, that one perfect number that matches their name or business. When I tell them they need to be more creative they always say their business and situation is unique and justify why they absolutely need to get that one perfect number and why nothing else will do By the way they never even came up with any alternatives because they had already decided on what they wanted. So when I see a good example of creativity that can help people realize how important it is to think outside of the box, I like to highlight and share that.

This example also proves you can be creative in ANY industry too, because if you made a list of industries there’s no room for creativity in, deli meat would be right up there. That’s why when I heard this number on the radio this morning I knew I had to use that as an example for people who think they can’t be creative.

I don’t know if Boarshead tried to get 8**-BOARSHEAD or not. It’s not available, but even if it was, 877-FLIM-FLAM in this context is much more powerful than 877-BOARSHEAD would be. It also shows that if you integrate the theme of the commercial into the number (or vice versa?) it can turn a base hit into extra bases or even a home run in the right situation.

So kudos to Boarshead for it’s creativity in 877-FLIM-FLAM and showing how the right number can really make an advertising campaign!

      Bill at TOLLFREENUMBERS.COM was extremely helpful in getting us set up initially with a numerical toll free number, but also in explaining who a specific descriptive toll free number could be so much more beneficial for our marketing drives. He really knows this business and made acquiring our toll free numbers very painless!

      I was in a hurry to get my number transferred over, and you were helpful enough to call my phone company for me with me on the line to push the process forward. I really appreciated your "can-do" attitude and willingness to help me out with a time crunch.

      I have truly enjoyed working with you in establishing the toll free number for my business. You were accommodating and personal, and that's the missing pieces in today's business affairs. Thank you for walking me through each step, with patience...another quality that I appreciated. I will refer you highly to others I meet along the way. And I must say, the most impressive act of the day was answering my call in your car at the end of your day. That's service that most cannot compete with.
