increase your ad response 75%
with one simple tool

Recent studies show that callers today are a whopping 75% more like to call a toll-free number than a toll number!

As long as you are going to PAY to place an ad, why not allow yourself 75% more responses?

Make it Easy on Your Customers - And Yourself

The market is full of choices today, and your readers are making a value judgement on your offer before they even pick up the phone. You can�t afford to lose customers to your competitors just because it�s EASIER to contact them and place an order.

Why not make your business easier for yourself as long as you�re going to make it easier for your customers? You can advertise your toll-free number and only lift a finger to check your messages � this is truly �Automated Marketing� at its best.

Increase Your Value

Readers evaluate your business right from the start. Even when your business is brand new, it�s important to project a professional, established and successful business image. What better way to do this than offering a toll-free number for customers to call - and it won�t cost you an arm or a leg either!

Save Money

As a professional businessperson, you want to provide this service to your target audience - but at a LOW cost to you. Many services offer a month-to month service - no long-term commitment.

Increase Your Response rate

24-hour service is a MUST these days, since many people will call before 8 am and after 5 pm. With toll-free voicemail, you can give your prospects an immediate response without busy signals or long waits � and you DON�T even have to be there to pick up the phone!

In addition to increasing your ad response, many toll-free services offer systems where you can monitor who your callers are and where they are calling from. This enables you to have easier and more effective follow-ups with your prospects. In short, it�s essential for pre-qualifying your leads.

Save Time

Toll-free voicemail is also an incredible time-management tool. You can reduce your time spent cold-calling and answering nonsense calls which often can be non-productive. PLUS, at the same time, why not avoid the rejection and frustration that goes along with it. Spend you valuable time accomplishing more important (and fun) things! You can even sign up with a toll-free service and have it up and running in no time!

Did you know that you can even send faxes, voice messages and e-mail through a single toll-free number? As you might imagine, it�s very simple and organized. You don�t even have to have expensive computer equipment! And if you travel frequently, a system like this is very effective at keeping you in touch and informed.

These new advancements in technology are making home businesses easier and easier to operate, and you can�t afford to be left behind. How do you want to market yourself � The easy way or the hard way?
