800 Number Marketing

Here's a great idea to expand your marketing easily and cheaply!

Use an 800# to record a short teaser message about your business or product.

You can do this in under 4 hours and start getting new prospects immediately.

FYI; 888, 877 and 866 #s are also toll-free now. Get an actual 800# if possible to avoid confusion for those that might not know. If you do get one of the non-800 #s, just tell folks that it is toll free or free or something to let them know it's no charge.

Why use an 800 number in your marketing

1. Free for your prospect to use
2. Avoids spam filter in emails unlike URLs which frequently get blocked by spam filters
3. Easy to use
4. Work great on postcards or flyers or rear-window advertisements

Here's how to set up your own 800 number marketing campaign

1. Get your 800# at http://www.Kall8.com I have used them for years. Good prices and great service.
2. Record your teaser message on your new 800 number. Example: 800-409-4429 Keep it short to keep your cost down. Include your CTA (Call To Action) at the end to give the prospect the next step.
   1. Extra credit: Set up a toll line with a 20 to 40 minute business presentation. For this, I recommend http://www.TNTVoice.com Another great service at a good price. Example: (703) 348-3999
   2. More extra credit: Learn how to hyperlink your phone numberss in your blogs. Here's how: use the "Link" icon like you were going to do a web address. Instead of http:// put in tel: and then the phone number with no spaces or dashes.
      Example: (703) 348-3999
      1. Why hyperlink phone numbers? When someone sees a hyperlinked phone # on their smart phone, they can 'click the link' (i.e. your 800 number or any phone number you put in) and their phone will call the number without them having to type it in. You might have noticed that GMail does this to phone #s in your GMail inbox.
   3. Notes on using a website in your 800 number: You can also use your 800# to tell folks to go to your website. If you do this, make sure you have a short and easy to say and hear URL to give them. Short words or phrases work best. Don't ever use a long URL with + or = or /'s or periods.
      Examples: http://www.Fred77.com or http://www.Fred88.com
3. More extra credit: Design your own website with your 800 number in the URL. Example: http://www.8004094429.com Here's how:
   1. Grab free website design software at http://www.coffeecup.com/free-editor
      1. Or use the easy editor provided at GDI: http://www.Website.ws/prowriter
   2. Make your own free banners at http://www.MyBannerMaker.com They charge maybe $25/year but have a nice interface that works fine. I made mine there and used them on http://www.8004094429.com There are other banner maker sites available that make nice banners
   3. After you have designed your site, you will want to upload it to your domain. FileZilla is free at https://filezilla-project.org/ and pretty easy to understand. Check YouTube for instructions on any of these free programs. Easy to find (I even found a video showing how to put on a rear-windshield-wiper on my car on YouTube!)
   4. Congratulations! You did it!
