1-800- Mattress : leave off the last s for savings. This was a highly successful ad campaign.
Turning a telephone number into a word for ease of dialing and advertising purposes is very effective. But it’s not easy to think of all the possibilities with your current number. And what if you have the chance to change your number, can you choose one that spells a catchy word. Not easy. Until now. With PhoneSpell you just enter the phone number –all or any part—and see what it can spell. TIP: try leaving out the area code.
You can also enter a word and get the phone number. Very cool tool.
Yes, but. The ugly truth that advertisers won’t admit is that whatever time is saved by having the mnemonic to remember the number is lost and then some because most folks never learned touch typing on their telephone keypad. And if you’re near-sighted like me, hunt-and-pecking for those letters on the keypad involves several moments of repositioning eyeglasses on the nose just to get those miserable little letters in focus!
That is certainly true. I share your near-sightedness. But my son & his friends can knock out a text message in seconds.
Still I remember 1800 Mattress. And what about 1-800 flowers, another winner.
