February 14, 2015 | By: Morgan Pulitzer

More than 80% of the American entrepreneurs use customized toll free numbers for promoting their business. Vanity numbers are easy to remember and they don’t cost a penny to the calling party. By getting a vanity 800 number, you can satisfy more customers than ever, thus increasing your business profit and improving services.

All you have to do is follow few simple steps to get a vanity number and enjoy countless benefits:

Step 1- Get Familiar

Before consulting a service provider, learn about the basis of toll free numbers. This can help you understand the influence of a toll free service on your business. Moreover, you can also learn about local and long distance calls charging system. For example, many new subscribers don’t know that local calls are completely free for the calling party, but for long distance calls, caller will have to pay normal charges. With prior knowledge about subscription charges and calling rates, no service provider can fool you.

Step 2- Consult your Current Service Provider

To convert your current calling system into a toll free system, first consult your current service provider and ask if they provide vanity number services. It is better and more cost effective to convert your existing calling system into a toll free system than setting up a new account. If your service provider offers converting services then proceed to step 4, otherwise go to the next step.

Step 3- Find another Service Provider

This might need your time and attention. With a number of service providers available in the market, you need to conduct a thorough survey to find a reliable vendor. While priorities vary with needs, you must not compromise quality over cost. Service providers like 800response offer high quality services at reasonable rates.

Step 4- Inquire about Services

Additional services and features vary with different vendors. Consult the service provider yourself or visit their official website to learn about the charges for various features and services. Choose the services which suit your business needs. For example, if you are in telemarketing business, call monitoring and call tracking features might help you in providing satisfactory services to customers. However, it is always wise to avoid unnecessary expenditures. So don’t subscribe to those services which are not linked with your business.

Step 5- Account Set Up

You need to choose a customized vanity number for your organization. Most vendors provide new subscribers with the list of available numbers. You have to give your basic information, select a package and payment method. Carefully read all the terms and conditions before signing up the account.

Step 6- Route the Number

You need a landline connection to route your toll free number. Although many service providers offer landline connections, it is always better to route the number to your existing connection. This not only cuts down the installment costs, but allows you to enjoy toll free services in your previous tested connection.

As a radio copywriter and marketing analyst, vanity phone numbers from 1-800 RESPONSE has been SO valuable for me and for my clients. Common ten digit phone numbers in radio commercials are deadly and unmemorable. But the results that I get for my business clients with an 800 number from 800-RESPONSE show direct results. Also it creates a brand that gets extended to company logos, vehicles, websites, etc. And these 800 numbers can lay right over existing numbers without any buyer confusion. So when someone is listening to a commercial on the radio, in their car or at home, all they have to do is say "Siri or Alex, call this 800 number" Great instant, memorable connectivity and more sales.
