Cashing in on #LaborDay with #VanityNumbers by: Custom Toll Free , August 31, 2012 Vanity numbers are an entrepreneur’s best friend on Labor Day. Labor Day and Labor Day weekend is one of the biggest shopping and business opportunities of the year and toll free numbers can be one of the most valuable tools in an entrepreneur’s arsenal to capitalize on the occasion. Because so many consumers are off of work it is a great time to unleash new marketing initiatives and deals to capture as many dollars that are floating around as possible. Or at least to make sure they aren’t going into your competitors’ hands and becoming ammunition to be used against you. Some businesses may choose to reserve new premium vanity numbers for special events just for Labor Day and use them as an opportunity to grab more publicity and visibility with special offers and contests. However, one of the biggest challenges for small business owners and independent entrepreneurs is staying connected and not losing the edge at important times like this while making time for family and taking a break. Fortunately these ninja like business phone numbers are the perfect weapon for stealthily staying on the job and making sure no opportunities are missed while getting in required face time at family picnics and BBQs. With flexible routing and call forwarding options entrepreneurs can have their important calls forwarded through their vanity numbers to their mobile phones wherever they are or even discreetly get alerted to hot new leads by email notification. Just make sure you keep your cell phone on vibrate. Of course this also means being able to give employees the “day-off” while still making sure they answer and reply to critical calls and leads. Though in the spirit of Labor Day perhaps the right thing to do is to really take the day off and give your U.S. based team members a break and forward your inbound phone calls to a pre-screened offshore call center for the day.
