Gathering Marketing Data Using Toll Free

Gathering marketing information is essential for retail and service businesses. Supreme Court decisions have recently curbed just how much a business owner or clerk can ask customers about their personal information, even their zip code. But some companies are using 1-800 phone numbers in effective ways to gather data. Customers sometimes now get a receipt with a 1-800 telephone number on it for a survey that includes a random winner of a shopping spree to that store or a free service. The company gains the necessary information and the customer gets a chance to win a valuable prize.

Toll Free Calls To Get Holiday Gifts in Time

By calling a retailer’s 1-800 number today, consumers can still get items shipped by Christmas. Processing via e-mail can take longer. Call the company’s toll free phone number, talk to a representative and ensure that your packages arrive in time.

Toll Free For Holiday Gift Giving

Just 12 days until Christmas and consumers are under the gun to get gifts ordered and delivered on time. Toll free phone numbers are faster and more reliable than email order interactions. Consumers have learned that talking to a representative to place an order will get that order ready and shipped faster than an online exchange. With the days quickly passing by, there is still time to get presents ordered and delivered if customers call retail 1-800 numbers.

Using Every Tool In The Marketing Box

Using Every Tool In The Marketing Box. Economic downfalls in 2009 and the first half of 2010 has led to the closings of thousands of retail stores and service companies with costly office overhead.  However, many of these companies have stayed profitable through phone and web sales. The majority of sales from catalog and websites are still made through toll free phone calls. And these days, large chain stores like WalMart and Target offer shoppers the convenience of buying over the phone. Toll free has helped many retail companies, large and small, stay afloat during this recession.
