Understand Your Buyer > How To Get Attention > Memorable Phone Number

What is it?

If you have a phone number that’s easy to remember, it will make it easier for clients to call you and it can also help you stand out as most phone numbers are forgettable.

Why does it work?

It works because as humans we find it difficult to remember unrelated pieces of information – we prefer patterns and things that are connected.

For example – 0800 123456 is much more memorable than 0800 347198

How can you use it?

(This is UK specific)

You can either change your mobile number or your landline number to one that’s more memorable.

Mobiles – Buy a “VIP” Mobile number. There are lots of companies that can sell you singular or matching sets of phone numbers – the easier to remember, the more expensive they are.

Landlines – Get a cool “0870” or similar number which not only makes you look more professional as its non geographic, but in some cases it could also generate revenue too.
