Powerful 1-800 SLOGANS

ome businesses are hard to describe or the description is so obvious that everything even related to that word or phrase is long gone. Whatever the reason, sometimes it seems like everything you try is already in use. This is when you need to apply extra creativity and one of the best ways to get creative is to think of it in terms of a slogan.


I was just talking with an attorney looking for a number for his business of defending foreclosure. That can be a hard combination, because Foreclosure is a long word, a little hard to spell and a negative thing too. It’s also a hard business to describe without the word foreclosure too.

If you just try to think of ways to “describe” your business you tend to get stuck at the most obvious terms. But when you change gears and try to think of slogans, it’s much easier to be more creative. Slogans also tend to be more benefit oriented and colorful.

It also helps to think in terms of different types of slogans. Try to come up with 10 funny slogans, 10 crazy slogans and 10 really powerful slogans. The best slogans also have some bite to them. If a slogan makes you nervous, you’re very close to something really great!

Then after you have maybe 40 or 50 potential slogans, you’re ready to use the Keyword Lookup. Most slogans are longer than 7 digits but that’s OK. Most slogans could also relate to several possible vanity number phrases. Once you start entering them and playing with the slogans, you’ll probably have 100 vanity number phrases, some of which will probably be available or something similar probably will be.

PS. A creative slogan can also make a great domain name too! I also visited a good blog with more slogan and naming resources and information, Namewire.com too.

    Slogans make great numbers because they’re usually more creative, they’re usually repeated throughout the advertising already and even the whole business, and they tend to stick with people more, maybe because they’re more creative and they’re repeated?!

      1-800-stay-home! You know, for the foreclosure defense attorney. Just kidding, I imagine that’s already taken for something.

        You’re kind of being silly in a sense but even that really does show how the right slogan can make a more creative or even a little wacky number not only make sense but turn into a huge hit!

          I think of Nike’s, “Just Do It!” or Avis’ “We Try Harder.” Then there’s Wheaties “Breakfast of Champions.” Slogans work…and are powerful.

          As for a foreclosure defense attorney, how about “Fight Back! Free Consultation.”

            Imagine if they used 1-800 WE TRY HARDER or 1-888 2-JUST-DO-IT etc. Those numbers are less obvious and more likely to be available and actually better than normal or generic terms.

            A great example that Rita mentioned the other day is 877-ON-YOUR-SIDE. That’s obviously for Nationwide, and Nationwide is obviously a generic name that they wouldn’t ever be able to get so they used their slogan to find a great option!

              Instead of trying to think up a dozen CREATIVE slogans, try to think of a dozen CRAZY slogans. Crazy is creative squared, and that will help get even more creative juice flowing!

                                    My second 800 number with you Bill and everything was as seamless as the first time. The website was running a bit slow this time but I'm happy I got what I was looking for.

                                    Thanks for Everything

                                    I got a perfect number for my flower essence therapy consultation business: 877-FLWR-PWR! And it's easy to remember numerically too! (877-359-7797) Many people have commented how catchy and perfect it is. I agree.

                                    I don't see why people use any other toll-free number service. TollFreeNumbers is so very inexpensive, convenient, quick and you actually own the number rather than rent it. Can it get any better than that? It's going great so far.

                                    I have been playing with your site for the past couple of days trying to find the perfect phone number for my new company. Then I received an email from Bill explaining how I could play around with some of the numbers to get some additional options.

                                    Once I received Bill’s email it all fell into place! I sat down and came up with about 75+ combinations that I could use and then I called my local phone company. Next thing I know - I was done! Two days of frustration and pulling hair for nothing!

                                    The information your company provides is invaluable! I’m still amazed on why you do it! It’s great for small business owners and entrepreneurs. I’ll make sure everyone I know who needs an 800 # knows about your site!

                                    Thank you in advance for your assistance!

                                    Testimonial 848 out of 1983

                                    I first looked at Mr. Quimby's website several weeks ago and learned all I could about toll free numbers. I was frustrated to learn that the speculation on toll free vanity numbers was similar to the speculation on domain names. I did plenty of other research, but the information I found here was not only accurate, but it was the most accurate and objective information I was able to find anywhere. The look-up service was invaluable in guaging my options, and when the time came to purchase a number, the service was activated in seconds. The most trouble I have encountered in setting up my business has been dealing with the telephone company. If only they could be as informative, prompt, and simple to use as Mr. Quimby's service.

                                    Sincerest thanks

                                    Bill Quimby is a GENIUS!! :-) I am glad that he created this website. It was so painless! I was going to try to reserve this same vanity toll free number with one of the 'Big Three' (rhymes with May T and T) and I wished that I'd become a dentist because I would have had to pull teeth to accomplish my goal! On top of that... to give the option of holding the number for 15 days is a Godsend! Thank you very much Mr. Quimby! We look forward to doing business with you again in the future! :-)

                                    I stumbled upon your site using a Google search. You have designed a site which is informative,user-friendly and able to perform and execute when all your competitors where closed and probably fast asleep. I never imagined I would be able to research,select and purchase a vanity toll-free number on a Saturday night. If that wasn't impressive enough, it was ringing to my selected number within five minutes. It is absolutely amazing what you have accomplished with your website. Thanks for providing such a great service.

                                    A great Toll Free Number should be critical to any marketing-savy company,
                                    but finding AND obtaining a decent number can be time consuming and
                                    frustrating. It was for us until we found your website:
                                    TollFreeNumbers.com. We absolutely love your service!

                                    No one makes it easier to find a number, brainstorm additional numbers,
                                    obtain the number, own the number, and monitor for new numbers. Plug in a
                                    few key words and an email address on your home page the automated system
                                    goes to work immediately. And no upfront costs! Seriously...it doesn't get
                                    any better.
