Before you jump at a randomly-generated phone number for your business, there are distinct benefits that you can take advantage of when you’re using a vanity phone number.
Most businesses don’t take full advantage of a vanity number, and while they’re not right for everyone, in this post we look at 5 undeniable benefits of a vanity phone number for your business that you’ll at least want to take into consideration.
1. They Create a Heavily Branded Experience
A vanity phone number for your business can create a more distinctly-branded experience that extends all the way to a customer phone call. It doesn’t get more branded than having a phone number like “1–800-NEW-SKIN” to really create a seamless, immersive customer experience.
2. They Make Your Number Memorable
Vanity numbers can make your phone number and your business both memorable. The easier and more convenient you can make the customer experience, the better. And the easier your number is to remember, the more you may have customers reaching out if and when they need you.
3. They Show That You’re Established
Even though vanity numbers function exactly the same as standard local numbers, they will give your brand the perception of seeming more credible and established. If you want to show that your business is established, well-thought-out, and here to stay, choosing a vanity number can help solidify that.
4. They Scale Well With Your Business
A lot of small businesses don’t think that vanity numbers are right for them, because “we’re just starting out right now.” A huge benefit of vanity phone numbers is that they can include toll-free numbers, which scale well as your business grows. If you plan to scale, consider a vanity number for this purpose. And even if you don’t, remember that vanity numbers can also include local instead of toll-free numbers, too.
5. They Can Potentially Increase Calls, Leading to More Sales
If your phone number is memorable, it can actually increase phone calls and drive more sales your way. This does give you a distinct competitive edge over others in the industry, and even if it only drives sales your way every so often, it’s still worthwhile.
Vanity phone numbers are easy to obtain, as long as they’re currently available, and you can even set them up through a virtual business system for maximum convenience and affordability.
