Let your fingers do the walking in other people’s Yellow Pages

Look for ideas for your 800 number in the Yellow Pages
If you’re just starting a new business it’s often a little harder to know what to look for in a toll free number. They don’t have their message and the theme for their advertising yet. New businesses tend to think the only thing they can compete on is price, and they look mostly for generic terms for their toll free number.

New businesses don’t have much advertising to draw from in looking for their message or theme. They haven’t worked out slogans or figured out their real value proposition yet. That’s when I tell them to let their fingers do the walking and look through the yellow pages from other parts of the country outside of their market, especially in large highly competitive markets.

Don’t copy them but look for phrases that stand out. Think headlines, think benefits and especially creative slogans. You can use any type of advertising, but I like to look at yellow pages because it has high impact, short phrases that have been tested and refined in almost any category. This will ultimately help you with not just your phone number but all of your advertising.

          First let me say thanks for taking the time to personally speak with me to help me select my 1-888 number. I was thrilled on how easy it was to actually attain a number, I was even more thrilled to get the actual number I wanted. This number will make it so easy for my future customers to remember how to call us. I think the key to having a successful business is providing easy to remember contact information and I was able to achieve this goal by using your service.

          It was a pleasure to speak with you Bill. Thanks again for being there for us to provide this wonderful service. I will definitely spread the word!

          Testimonial 1560 out of 1850

          I needed something to brand my company's name, some easily remembered telephone number that would catch a person's eye. It had have three qualities: a) easy to remember, b) shock quality c) make people laugh. In other words, I needed to be sure that once a person saw my telephone number, they'd NEVER forget it! Sure enough, after playing with your search tools, in under 15 minutes I had my toll free number 877-DOG-CRAP!

          We've been in business for some time now. Mostly due to the success of the marketing edge that your search engine gave me. It was the best money I ever spent. Your hassle-free free service and complete explanation of the process is the best! I recommend your website to any entrepreneur looking for that competitive edge. Thank you Bill, for your experience and fabulous marketing tools!

          I have used Bill to obtain at least 4 toll free numbers and I would not use anyone else. He makes the process easy and is a true professional.
          He has a great system and prompt service. If you need to obtain a toll free number -- use Bill. I did... and would again.

          Your search engine for vanity numbers was great. The voice mail service I want to use was going to charge me to "search" for the same vanity that I told them was already available. Thanks to your tips and informational page, I purchased it through you instead.
