I work for a company that specializes in providing 1-800 vanity phone numbers to the automotive industry. We are the leading provider of this service and have the most memorable phone numbers available for your dealership. We are always looking to improve our service and I am interested in hearing dealers opinions on what we offer.

Basically the service works like this. We have numbers like:

1-800 GO CHEVY
1-800 HYUNDAI
1-800 MY HONDA
1-800 MY SATURN
1-800 GO ACURA
1-800 GO VOLVO
1-800 4 TOYOTA
1-800 INFINITI
1-800 MY LEXUS
1-800 PONTIAC
1-800 BMW SALES
1-800 MITSUBISHI
1-800 BUY DODGE
1-800 KIA MOTORS
1-800 MY NISSAN
1-800 RANGE ROVER
1-800 SUZUKIS
1-800 AUDI USA

We license these numbers to dealerships to use exclusively in their market area. The incoming calls are routed by area code to the dealership that licenses that market. No equipment is required and all routing is done automatically. Real time call reporting is included.

There have been numerous studies that show a memorable toll free number will increase call volume compared to the same advertising using a numeric phone number. For the same reason you want your website to be Search Results for "bobstoyota.com" and not www.sl2lkj46.net you should have a number like 1-800-4 TOYOTA and not 1-866-234-3583

So back to my question. Our business does well and we have many satisfied customers. We are always looking to improve our business and our market penetration. One of our problems is getting dealers to take the time to look over our information. I understand dealers are swamped with offers that 'guarantee' to sell you more cars. With a memorable phone number you are guaranteed more phone calls. With a good sales team more phone calls equals more cars sold. So what do you dealerships guys think of this type of service? The cost is roughly $100 per area code so a drop in the hat when you consider your advertising budget.

How can I make our service better?

How can I get the attention of more dealers to increase my sales?


Thanks for any input. I would be very interested in a discussion on the topic here.
