Phone words are simply the alphanumeric translation of a phone number, and the reason individuals and businesses choose them is so simple – they increase awareness, and this in turn gives an increased response rate to advertising.  When your customers remember your phone word after seeing an ad, they are more likely to call.

Phone words are also more effective than yellow page advertising, as you don’t always have a book with you, whereas an 0861-PIANOS word number is easy to remember because you simply dial for the business you want.

When a company uses phone words,  potential customers sense that the business is both professional and established.  Phone words are remembered months after they are seen or heard, and this means that your advertising Rand goes so much further.

Word numbers get results, dramatically increasing advertising response rates.  There is overwhelming evidence that word numbers are indispensable because they draw more calls, and as  the public gains awareness of how easy to remembers word numbers are, even after having seen them months before, they are easy to remember because they spell out exactly what the business is about.

Word numbers trigger an elevated response and a pronounced buying behavior, for instance television adverts with word numbers against numerics pull a full 25-percent greater response every time the commercials air, simply because people see the word number and remember it!

We know that word telephone numbers  trigger a response, but good word numbers are calls to action – revealing an elevated response over numerics, attracting more callers.
