Two New Success Stories with Vanity Numbers in Advertising Campaigns!
Here at 800response, we’re fortunate to work with wonderful businesses who understand the power of using easy-to-remember response tools, or hooks if you will, as the call-to-action in their advertising campaigns. We recently spoke with two customers; one that has been with us for over 13 years, and another that we’ve had the pleasure of working with for just a few months.
Here’s what they tell us:
“The incoming calls we get are very valuable to us, and the increase in the number of calls we get each month by advertising with 1-800-NEW-RATE contributes greatly to our success. Customers can visit our website and contact us through the online form, but having live conversations with people is much better in this business.

Vanity Telephone Numbers: Call Us
Vanity telephone numbers are the easiest way to say “call us” and not expect the customer to remember a telephone number. Customers are more likely to remember a word as a number, than a list of numbers. Some research tells us that individuals can only remember a list of four numbers. That is one reason we have the dash in telephone numbers. It allows individuals to remember a number of blocks of numbers.
However, people remember words longer than four letters. So, if you make your telephone number 800 plus a seven letter word, the odds are much greater that people will remember. Not sure about that? Ask friends if they can remember a seven letter word or a seven digit number. You will find that research is right – people will remember the word better than the number…. Read more »
