An excellent offer in a brilliant ad campaign accomplishes little if audiences can’t take advantage of it. Not all toll free numbers are created equal. Toll free numbers, like every other aspect of advertising, should be carefully selected—in consultation with experts at Dial 800—for each campaign. The wrong numbers send callers to competitors, unrelated, and inappropriate businesses. The right numbers drive calls, sales and ROI.
Word-based and alphanumeric versions of phone numbers generate incredible customer recall and response. A premium investment, the right vanity number is a valuable branding tool, drives sales, and increases ROI. Words can be selected to represent a company as a whole, a specific product or service, and even an individual offer. Vanity numbers work very well with short-form television and radio ads, and they’re absolutely essential for outdoor media campaigns.
Toll-free 800 numbers can be practically unforgettable when they include repeated digits. Dial 800 offers repeater numbers of two, three, four, and even five digits. Repeated digits may be paired with a balanced three-digit exchange, rendering them even more memorable with both rhyme and repetition. These unforgettable numbers are a perfect match for short form television and radio ads, and the best of them can be an affordable substitute for vanity numbers.
Numbers ending in 00 and 000 promote an especially high instance of audience recall—because they can be remembered as “hundred” or “thousand”—lending extra potency to all types of ad campaigns.
Optimizing audience recall, diminishing misdials, and promoting strong brand identity, 800-prefix numbers are indispensible marketing tools. Requiring relatively little effort for memorization, 800-prefix numbers are the most reliable choice for short-form television and radio ads. With the lowest incidence of misdials across toll-free prefixes, 800 numbers are absolutely essential for billboard advertising and other outdoor media. Significant investments in advertisements and campaigns are incomplete without these numbers, assuring that customers can take advantage of valuable offers.
Available in the widest varieties, minimizing misdials, and offering excellent rates of audience recall, 888 numbers are powerful call tracking tools. Especially useful for distribution as large sets of destinations, the high value and low cost of 888 numbers makes them attractive for both short and long-form television ads, radio campaigns, and many printed media applications
More affordable than their 800 and 888 counterparts, 877 and 866 numbers work well in internet and printed media campaigns. When the number is stationary, easily recordable or otherwise retainable, rates of misdial drop significantly, and the alternate prefixes allow for the employment of large groups of numbers within single campaigns—a perfect fit for direct mail, flyers, and other ads that audiences can keep with them.
