Why should I use a vanity PHONE PHRASE?

Studies have shown that a business using a vanity PHONE PHRASE as opposed to a numeric toll-free number receives an average of 14 times more calls. Clearly, potential customers are more likely to remember a PHONE PHRASE advertised on the radio or TV rather than a numeric number.

What about a good numeric number ending in 1000, 2000, etc?

Some people think that a good numeric number is easier to dial. That may be true, but if your phone number isn't related to the service you provide, don't count on people to remember it. A PHONE PHRASE may take an extra second or two to dial on the keypad, but 1-800-PAIN-CLINIC will be remembered and associated with a medical office better than 1-800-555-1000 would.

Why should I pay for a vanity number when I can get a numeric toll-free number with AT&T for $5 or $10 a month?

You should look at the additional expense of having a vanity PHONE PHRASE as part of you advertising costs. When you place an ad in the paper you can get a 1 inch by 1 inch ad cheaper than a 4 inch by 4 inch ad, but the larger ad is more likely to be noticed. Same concept with a vanity line. They are more likely to be remembered than a numeric number!
