Raise Your Profile With An Alphabetical Phone Number

Jul 30, 2009 Advertising

Have you ever thought about getting an alphabetical phone number? It might not seem like something your business needs, but take the time to think about it further. Numbers are hard for most people to remember, while words are a lot easier. Businesses with phone numbers that spell out something related to their business get a lot more calls and are are much easier to get in contact with. You’ll be surprised how much business picks up if you switch to a “phone name” rather than a phone number.

With an alphabetical phone number, customers will remember you more, and that’ll give you a higher response rate on your advertising from every channel. Phone names are fifteen times more likely to be remembered as phone numbers. If you’re getting calls from your advertising, you’ll be paying less for your leads, and less for every sale, increasing your profits. Plus, it’s easier to tell someone your phone number without having to write it down if you have an alphabetical phone number. That means more effective advertising via word of mouth.

A phone number which spells something out can even bring in new business from consumers who have never seen your advertisements or may not even know your business exists? How is this possible? Simple – if your phone number spells a relevant word you may see business from people calling the number in the hopes that there will be a business like yours on the other end of the line. For example, if you happen to be a florist with a phone number which spells out “Flowers”, you’ll see an astonishing number of customers calling for what you offer who’ve never heard of your particular flower shop.

Use this name in the address of your website, your email address and anywhere else that is likely to be a point of contact with consumers. The easier you make it for people to find you, the more business you’ll attract and conversely, the more difficult it is, the tougher it will be to bring in new business as well as seeing repeat business from current customers. Your phone number will also make it into search engine results and your prospective customers will have an easy time finding your business all around.

With an alphabetical phone number, any business can see the benefits of increased customer traffic, a better return on their advertising investment and better prospects for growth. If you don’t already have a phone number which says something about your business, the time to get one is now – before the competition takes the phone name your business needs!
