Did You See All The Toll Free in Ads During Last Night’s Game?

The 50 million viewers of the Super Bowl last night saw dozens of commercials featuring 1-800 numbers. The game is secondary to many viewers who enjoy watching the creative advertising. The lesson can be handed down from these giant corporations and their Madison Avenue ad executives–toll free phone service works and can be used in conjunction with all ads and promotions to increase business.

1-800 Flowers Sets The Holiday Tone

Florists nationwide will enjoy their busiest time of the season next week, taking orders through toll free phone numbers for floral deliveries. Valentines Day, flower deliveries and toll free became fast partners when 1-800-FLOWERS became a household name. Since then, thousands of florists have obtained 1-800 numbers for fast, free connections to their customers.

Advances in Communications Include Toll Free

Ten years ago we could never have imagined the advances in communications and technology. The pace of technological growth has been frenetic and toll free phone service has kept up with every step. Toll free numbers are used by every conceivable type of business in every traditional and contemporary way. Smart phones, APPS, social networks, internet all include toll free 800, 888, 877, 866 or 855 numbers. And as new technology emerges, toll free service will find its niche there too.

Super Bowl Advertising With Toll Free

Super Bowl commercials are almost as popular as the game. Companies will spend an average of $100,000 per second! And $3 million per ad for a spot during this Sunday’s game. And the majority of those ads will include a toll free telephone number or a link to a web site that provides the toll free phone number. Toll free is commonplace in corporate advertising and just as effective for smaller companies.

News Coverage of 855 Numbers

We have noticed a recent spike in the amount of news coverage of the new 855 toll free area code phone numbers. As more subscribers sign on for an 855 number, and more ads include an 855 phone number, the media is catching on to this phenomenon.

Tweet Your Toll Free

Social networking and toll free phone service are working in tandem more and more. Recently, many businesses are tweeting instant messages and announcements to customers and potential customers advising of changes, sales and promotions. Apps have toll free numbers regularly and of course businesses and non-profits on Facebook advertise their toll free phone number. The combination of networking and telecommunications is a good match.

855 in Wide Use

With the recent success of the new 855 toll free phone numbers, we expect that these series of numbers will be used for far more than just business. As with the other toll free area code numbers, 855 will likely be used for personal numbers, clergy, non-profits, government officials, and more. And on the heels of the 855 numbers, the 844 numbers will be released to the same success and usage.

Unprecedented Growth in Telecommunications

The growth in telecommunications in the past decade is unprecedented in so many capacities. One can only imagine what new innovations will occur in the upcoming decade. And during all this change and growth, toll free phone service has remained a staple of all types of businesses. We see toll free numbers growing and expanding in use every day.  Toll free service will continue to remain a constant in all the growth swirling around the telecommunications industry.

Rapid Growth of Toll Free in Small Business World

It’s interesting the rapid growth of toll free phone service in the small business community over the past decade. The use in the corporate world of toll free has remained active and steady, but the use of toll free for small home-based companies and local businesses has been on a steady, fasttrack consistently for years and does not appear to be slowing down. The popularity of the new 855 toll free numbers in the small and medium-ized business world is even more proof that toll free is still growing in use outside of just the corporate world.

Four Month Update–855 Big Success

We are about four months into the status of the new 855 toll free phone numbers and all indications that they are extremely popular. Recognition of these numbers as toll free tales time, but consumers are already learning that the 855 numbers work the same as the previous toll free series–800, 888, 877, 866. With the success of the 855 numbers, it is a given that the 844 numbers will be released before we know it. And they will be needed. Supplies of 855 are already dropping.
