Choosing to go with a vanity toll free number can be a great way to help brand your business. You know the kind like 800-FLOWERS. More and more people are using vanity toll free numbers to help potential customers to identify with their company or products that they sell. You too can accomplish this by giving a little bit of thought before you choose your toll free vanity number.

The first thing to note is that choosing to go with a toll-free vanity number will cost you more than just picking a random toll free number, but the rewards can greatly outweigh the cost. While getting a vanity toll free number can be a great business move there are factors that should be considered before you choose one including:

•    Relevancy: Be sure that the vanity toll free number you choose is relevant to your business. Obviously if you sell cat food, you don't want to go with 800-DOG-FOOD. Keep in mind though that the most obvious such as 800-CAT-FOOD is probably already taken so you will have to use your imagination, but be sure it is relevant.

•    Catchiness: There is no point in getting vanity toll-free number if you are not going to be sure that it is catchy. Again, use your imagination and try to come up with a number that everyone will remember. Going again with the cat food business, a vanity number such as 800-MEOW-YUM is not only relevant but also sticks in a person's mind when they see it. They may not dial your vanity number at first glance but should they need cat food in the near future there is a good chance that they may remember your unique and catchy vanity number.

•    Easy to remember: Make sure that the vanity number that you choose is also easy to remember. You don't want to think of a number that someone will look at and say, 'Wow that's creative,' only to have them forget it ten minutes later. Keeping this in mind your vanity toll free number should be simple and fun all at the same time.

•    Don't get personal: Unless you are selling yourself as a product avoid using your name in the vanity number. 800-JOEY-CAT may look cool to you if your name is Joey and you are the one who owns the cat food business but to the average person this is a number that will soon be forgotten. It is better to save the personal stuff for your vanity license plate on your car and stick to a marketable vanity toll free number for your business.

Remember, you are going to pay extra for your 800 number so you want to make sure that the number you choose will be one that people will want to call over and over again. Once you do have the perfect vanity toll free number though, it will be almost irresistible for your potential customers to call and ultimately your phone will ringing off the hook.
