Why use Memorable numbers?

Memorable numbers, also known variously as; Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond or Special, are useful in many ways;

Professional image

An attractive number with repeated, or multiple digits can convey a professional image of an established and reliable company. Your choice of number type also makes a statement about your organisation. For example, a Free phone 0800 number indicates that customers are very important to you. Increasingly rare, 6 digit 0800 numbers remain the most popular choice.

Many household names use theses numbers, for example:

BUPA	0800 600 500
Barclays Bank	0800 400 100
Nat West Bank	0800 200 400
AA	0800 444 777
Churchill Insurance	0800 200 300

Increased Marketing response

Whilst the implementation of attractive non- geographic numbers is often used to make a statement about your organisation, there are also many commercial reasons to do so.

A memorable number can form a key element of your organisations’ sales and marketing campaigns. In all types of marketing and advertising, a number that is easy to remember is vital and provides a competitive advantage. This is particularly important for non text based activity such as radio or television advertising, or advertising on billboards or hoardings; the target audience do not usually have a pen and paper to hand and have no permanent record of the number. The use of a memorable number ensures significantly higher response levels.

Competitive advantage

Due to the excellent image of 0800, a memorable 6 digit number combining the marketing advantages and the customer service element, will increase call volumes to your organisation.

Background to Memorable numbers

The initial launch of 0800 and 0500 numbers in the early 1980 by Ofcom through BT and Mercury Communications involved the mass release of around 6 million numbers. This later proved problematic as number allocation was not controlled, meaning that the best numbers were used very quickly, leaving the bulk of less attractive numbers for the majority of organisations.

With later releases, Ofcom have adopted a different approach to ensure more efficient and fairer use of number ranges. New ranges are now released in smaller blocks of either 1,000 or 10,000 numbers. Rules are in place to ensure that around 80% of a range is in use, or allocated, before a new range is released.

The relative scarcity of Memorable numbers means that such numbers have never been more precious and sought after.
