STOP! - Look at your cell, try to dial this!

Cell Phones and toll-free numbers are not mixing well. Take this TEST:

Look at your cell phone key pad, now try to dial this number 1-800-GetStuf

How did you do?! You couldn't dial it, could you?

Oh sure, if you find a land line phone and look at that then you could. Or if, like some people I know, you are super smart, then you could figure it out in your head. But for the rest of us this does not work!

MARCOM managers please listen: STOP PUTTING OUT PRODUCTS, MATERIAL AND ADVERTISING WITH WORD-ONLY PHONE NUMBERS!

My family and I ONLY use cell phones, cell phones have been ubiquitous for a long time. Please add start adding the numbers underneath ALL the catchy toll-frees that include words.

Thank You!

Thanks, Willa.

Sometimes solutions are complicated to reach, but often the solution itself is very simple!
