Numerical toll free sequences are fine–toll free service in any form boosts business. But a creative vanity number with a catchy phrase or memorable word that matches your image is the best way to generate more business. Get a great vanity number in a day or two, then advertise locally and beyond, and then watch the customer calls roll in. Statistics show that consumers recall 1-800 vanity numbers and are more apt to contact a business that utilizes them. Why settle for standard service when it is proven that toll free is the better choice.
