ABOUT
Never again will you have to worry about your customers losing your phone number. We have some of the most memorable phone numbers in the industry. We are not a large monopoly but a small business dedicated to giving our customers the personalized, professional service they deserve.
My name is Darryl Ferdinand and I a’m the National Sales Manager for VANITY SERVICES. I’'ve been in the advertising business for car dealerships for over 30 years. As an auto sales professional and advertising coordinator for Chicagoland Lincoln Mercury, I was responsible for developing radio and television ads. When we finally decided to invest in the number 1-888-LINCOLN, we saw a 40% increase in customer response over our regular ads that were featured within the same time frame. As the late ‘90s rolled around I saw that it was harder and harder to stand out from the crowd with the Internet, infomercials and a gazillion car magazines at the grocery store all trying to compete for virtually the same customers. Conventional print advertising was drawing less and less and costing more and more. That'’s when it hit me. The way for dealers to maximize their advertising dollars was to have a unique toll-free vanity number. Based on my years of industry experience, I knew it would be a great return on investment. These toll-free vanity numbers would help improve response rates, promote customer referrals, and increase repeat customers. From that idea, 800 Cars LLC was born. It’'s been over 10 years now and we haven’t looked back. As our customer base increased, I added call recording, call detail and tracking reports similar to other “"Who'’s Calling"” type of companies. Each customer can log in and get the information they need to increase sales.800 Cars has now grown into Vanity Services. Vanity Services is a comprehensive Toll Free Vanity Number service. We have hundreds of vanity phone numbers covering every type of business imaginable. We also carry many local vanity numbers as well. Let us help you increase your sales and retain customers.

TOP 10 REASONS TO USE
TOP 10 REASONS TO INVEST IN A VANITY PHONE NUMBER
1. They Produce Results! Huge companies such as FedEx (1-800-GO FEDEX®), UPS (1-800-PICK UPS®) and 1-800-FLOWERS® all started using vanity 800 numbers years ago. If vanity numbers didn’'t work so well, can you really believe these companies would continue using them? Not a chance! An independent study shows how 1-800-NEW-WHEELS received 14 times the call volume than the same ads using a regular numeric number. Vanity Services is bringing the branding power of toll-free vanity numbers to Car Dealers, Ad Agencies, Direct Mailers and Infomercial Producers nationally.2. They’'re Affordable Our fee is as low as $149 per month, depending on your geographical area.3. Stop wasting money on the Yellow Pages. Let’s face it, Phone Books are a thing of the past. Customers now look to the web for everything. Once on the web, customers are bombarded with useless internet ads and generally click on the first ad they see. Once potential customers KNOW your number, they no longer have to “look you up” in the phone book or online. It’'s no different from when you call a good friend without having to look up the number. This is huge! Roto-Rooter® has found that when people go to the Yellow Pages, specifically looking for them, as many as 30% become diverted by the display ads and call someone else. Imagine the competition with online advertising. Don'’t let this happen to your business! Stand out from the crowd.4. They'’re Exclusive You own the rights to use the vanity number in the precise market area your business covers. It doesn'’t matter if all your customers are in a single area code, three to four area codes, an entire state or a four to five state region. One hundred percent of all calls originating from the territory you select ring directly for you, on your current telephone line, cell phone or call center. You have the exclusive right to the number for as long as you rent it. At Vanity Services we do not play games with our customers. Your right to the phone number is only cancellable by the customer for as long as you pay your bill every month. 5. The Number Speaks for Itself Do you think anyone is ever confused about what business 1-800-DENTIST® or 1-800-FLOWERS® is trying to promote? Now you have the opportunity to have your ads remembered with numbers like 1-800-EYESIGHT, 1-800-WINDSHIELD and many others. With numbers like, 1-800-800-FOOD, 1-800-800-LAWS, and 1-GET-APPROVED, customers believe that your business is easy-to-reach, easy-to-deal-with, and consumer oriented. Toll-free vanity numbers are truly an affordable way to put your business on top. 6. Vanity Numbers Add Status and Distinction and Boost Your Reputation People know there’s something special about a business that has a great toll-free vanity number. It sets you apart, exudes professionalism and great customer care. Imagine the value of a radio or TV commercial when the consumer hears 1-800-800-CARS. The customer remembers the number the first time they hear it and see it which is vital in any type of advertisement but especially billboard advertising. Your business rivals simply can'’t compete with their plain local telephone numbers. 7. Word-of-Mouth Advertising Consider the following scenarios: One friend is telling another friend where he got mortgage financing on his recent home purchase.Scenario 1 Friend 1: "How were you able to buy a house? I thought you had bad credit."Friend 2: "Just call 1-800-GET-APPROVED!" Friend 1: "Thanks!"Scenario 2 Friend 1: "How were you able to buy a house? I thought you had bad credit."Friend 2: "I saw an ad in the newspaper offering credit-challenged people home loans. Take a look in the paper."Friend 1: "OK, I’'ll look in the paper to see if I can find it."8. It’'s Easy to Remember It took Crest toothpaste and Tide detergent decades and millions of dollars to become the dominant market-share leaders in their respective industries. By comparison, 1-800-FLOWERS established itself as the dominant force in the floral industry simply through shrewdly focusing all the attention on the name/number 1-800-FLOWERS.9. You Don’'t Have to Be a Franchise to Be a Part of an “Advertising Network” There’s a tremendous advantage in being part of a group of 35 or more companies in the same industry, but in different markets, all promoting a single number to call when you need a car. When people travel on business or vacation, they may be exposed to YOUR number, say 1-800-800-CARS. Months later when they need a car, they may simply dial the number and reach you, without ever having seen or heard one of your own ads. In addition 7% of the U.S. population moves each year. They will be moving from a market area where the number for a car is 1-800-800-CARS to your market, where 1-800-800-CARS will ring directly to you. Just imagine 2,5–35 businesses with average ad budgets of $75,000 per month each, all promoting YOUR vanity number. It can add up to millions of dollars each year.10.
