Overall I usually say that what you say matters more than the voice you say it in, but it’s definitely a judgment call. The more advertising you’re doing and the more you’re aiming for a fortune 500 big company image the more important it is to have the ‘800’. This is even more important for an elderly audience or situation where credibility is a key factor in the sale. But overall the most important thing in your advertising in general as well as the toll free number, is the message. Many people confuse a generic term related to your business as the message though. Your message is essentially the point of your advertising. And if the point of your advertising is that you’re in X business then you’re never going to get past "Me To" marketing and stand out. Find a creative slogan and stand out. Bill<ul></ul> Hi Adam,
