Solutions Toll-Free & Vanity
800 Adept Can Find the Right Number for You
What is the value of using a Toll-Free Number?
Toll-free numbers allow consumers to call your business without having to
pay long distance fees. However, the value of a toll-free number is not limited to just “free long distance”
for your customers convenience. The information gathered from the
toll-free number can potentially make up your entire customer/prospect database, which paves your path to more successful advertising and helps you run your operation intelligently and effectively.

Vanity Number Awareness
|
Easy-to-remember phone numbers dramatically increase advertising response rates ...
The Michael J. Motto Advertising Agency's research showed radio ads that used an 800 toll-free vanity number (i.e. 1-800-96adept) drew 14 times more calls than those with a numeric 800 number.

Believe it or not, many of your customers may already assume that your
company has a toll-free number and that the number matches your company name. A
study conducted by an 800 Adept, Inc. client found that 4% of the respondents of
their annual consumer awareness survey, when asked if they knew the company’s
toll-free number, said it was 1-800 followed by the company name. This was
double the number of respondents who correctly gave the company’s toll-free
vanity number!
The same concept holds true for category vanity numbers. Consumers in the
market for a particular product or service will often assume (or guess more
aptly) that a marketer of that product or service can be reached by calling
1-800 plus the product/service name. 1-800 Contacts is a prime example of this.
In the Nov. 29, 2000 issue of USA Today, Jonathan Coon, CEO of 1-800 Contacts
stated that they automatically received 2000 new calls per month when they
obtained and activated 1-800 Contacts which in turn generated $38,000 in
additional sales. Before being obtained by Jonathan Coon’s company, 1-800
Contact was not published and when called, went unanswered. Consumers wanting to
purchase contact lens were guessing that a company that sells contact lens would
answer 1-800 Contact! This is what makes category numbers so valuable, and at
the same time, so difficult and expensive to obtain.
