Another 37.38% reported a neutral stance. That\u2019s a <em>remarkably<\/em> high percentage in the advertisement world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we\u2019re being honest, these results came as a surprise to us. We predicted a lower probability of \u201ccalling a Vanity Number\u201d as compared to \u201cremembering one,\u201d of course. But we expected reported \u201cmotivation to call\u201d to be much closer to a single-digit result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That could mean having a Vanity Number might give you an edge in converting ~35% of people who see your number compared to your competition\u2019s regular phone number.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>An interesting note on \u2018Neutral\u2019 stances<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common trait across all generations is that they held a majority neutral stance on whether they\u2019d be more likely to call a Vanity Number. But where the data gets interesting is when you look more closely at Gen Z and Baby Boomers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Generation Z<\/strong> reported being the overall most likely to call a Vanity Number (47.62% across all positive answers). But they\u2019re <em>also<\/em> the only generation that reported <em>more<\/em> people who \u201c<strong>Strongly Agree<\/strong>\u201d (28.57%), compared to simply \u201c<strong>Agree<\/strong>\u201d 19.05%).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other end of the spectrum, <strong>Baby Boomers<\/strong> held a strong stance in the opposite direction. They\u2019re the only generation that had an ever-so-slightly higher percentage of people that said they \u201c<strong>Disagree<\/strong>\u201d (31.63%) they\u2019d be more likely to call a Vanity Number, compared to the Baby Boomers that said they \u201c<strong>Agree<\/strong>\u201d (30.75%).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Closing the Sale: Choosing a Business Because of a Vanity Number<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it\u2019s time to close the deal. How likely is it that a customer will choose your business based solely on the fact that you have a Vanity Number?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what our 1,450 survey respondents reported regarding whether they were \u201c<strong>More likely to choose to do business with a company that has a Vanity Number<\/strong>\u201d compared to a business without one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-flourish wp-block-embed-flourish\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"Interactive or visual content\" src=\"https:\/\/flo.uri.sh\/visualisation\/5271853\/embed#?secret=pl8EfIvZET\" data-secret=\"pl8EfIvZET\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" height=\"575\" width=\"700\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, the further down a sales funnel you go, the fewer people you\u2019re likely to convert. Yet when measuring the impact of Vanity Numbers, <strong>roughly 18% of respondents reported willingness to do business with a company that has one, versus a company that doesn\u2019t.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s a big deal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, there are many contributing factors involved in generating and closing sales. But if your business relies on phone call conversions, a Vanity Number could significantly expand your visibility and allow new and existing customers to reach you faster!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Breaking Down Engagement With Vanity Numbers, by Age<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the 18% of respondents who were the most receptive to Vanity Numbers, which generation was the most impacted by this kind of marketing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve read this far, then you probably can guess: it\u2019s<strong> Generation Z<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>28.57% of Gen Z respondents said they were more likely to choose a business that uses a Vanity Number<\/strong>. That\u2019s almost 7% greater than the next most likely generation, Millennials (21.39%). Gen Z is also the only generation that had a higher percentage of people who said they \u201c<strong>Strongly Agree<\/strong>\u201d (19.05%) versus \u201c<strong>Agree<\/strong>\u201d (9.52%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of those that were marked as engagers,<strong> Baby Boomers<\/strong>, once again, were the least likely to be influenced by a business\u2019 Vanity Number (14.64%); Baby Boomers were the generation reporting the greatest overall \u201c<strong>Disagree<\/strong>\u201d percentage (41.58%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our findings are generally consistent with overall research on advertisement. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.criteo.com\/blog\/genz-millennials-boomers-online-advertising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Criteo conducted their own survey<\/a> on consumer habits and online ads, which when broken down by generation, found that younger generations \u201cfeel the most positive about online ads and are most likely to take action after seeing an ad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>But what about Generation X?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t worry Gen X, we didn\u2019t forget about you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Gen X ranked third in their likelihood to choose a business due to Vanity Number usage (20.93%), <strong>Gen X was the least likely to say they would choose a business based on Vanity Number usage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You read that right. They were the only generation below 34.88% of overall dissenters. And with an overall low percentage of people who either agreed or disagreed, that naturally means they featured the highest percentage of people who said they were \u201c<strong>Neutral<\/strong>\u201d (44.19%) toward Vanity Numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does this mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means they\u2019re a toss-up. You might have a 21% advantage with a Vanity Number on Gen X, but you might need to add more substance to your marketing if your core demographic is between the ages of 44-59.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What About Texting? Offering SMS on a Vanity Number<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may just be missing out on potential customers if you don\u2019t offer SMS with your Vanity Number. Here is what 1,450 survey participants said regarding if they <strong>\u201cHave attempted to send a text\/SMS message to a Vanity Number at least once in [their] life<\/strong>\u201d:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-flourish wp-block-embed-flourish\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"Interactive or visual content\" src=\"https:\/\/flo.uri.sh\/visualisation\/5271865\/embed#?secret=DrjnGXNbD6\" data-secret=\"DrjnGXNbD6\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" height=\"575\" width=\"700\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This graph appears different from all the other topics we discussed, but the generational trends remain very predictable. Texting a business telephone number isn\u2019t common practice, unless the business explicitly markets it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that doesn\u2019t mean customers aren\u2019t attempting to get a hold of you over text!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to our survey, 21.24% of people actually have attempted to text a Vanity Number in their lives, while only 61.52% of people haven\u2019t. Sure, a majority of people don\u2019t text Vanity and Toll-free Numbers, but for the minority that do, it&#8217;s a pretty significant minority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, <strong>Generation Z<\/strong> featured the highest percentage of people who text (38.1%), and<strong> Baby Boomers<\/strong> were the lowest (16.4%). Those results make sense!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile,<strong> Millennials<\/strong> were the second-most likely to text a Vanity Number (27.27%), followed by <strong>Generation X<\/strong> (24.51%). If you don\u2019t offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joinstring.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SMS messaging<\/a>, you\u2019re missing out on a sizable percentage of customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Vanity Numbers: USA Versus Canada<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve covered each generation and their stance on Vanity Numbers, but what about countries?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(While NumberBarn is expanding our global phone number availability, for the purpose of this study we are only focusing on the United States and Canada.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is what our 1,450 survey participants had to say about Vanity Numbers, broken down by U.S.- and Canada-based results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-flourish wp-block-embed-flourish\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"Interactive or visual content\" src=\"https:\/\/flo.uri.sh\/visualisation\/5272202\/embed#?secret=sXUW8Ohslk\" data-secret=\"sXUW8Ohslk\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" height=\"575\" width=\"700\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When switching between the data from the United States and Canada, there isn\u2019t much of a difference. Only two instances occur with more than a three-percent difference in their responses, and even then, the difference never rose beyond a 5% disparity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who\u2019s more likely to call and recall Vanity Numbers?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The short answer: there was virtually no difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canadians were 1.24% more likely to say they remember a Vanity Number, at 86.11%, compared to 84.87% of Americans. Although when comparing only the results of those that strongly agreed, Americans held a slight edge (44.86%) over Canadians (43.52%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canadians were also barely more likely to call a Vanity Number over a non-Vanity Number (36.11%) versus Americans (35.54%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, we can discern no cultural difference in the way Vanity Numbers are perceived between Canadian and American populations. However, this data does reinforce the importance of a toll-free number if you operate between the two countries, since there is no decline in Vanity Number usage between the two.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Note: Consider a toll-free number to avoid long-distance charges for your callers, if your user base spans both the U.S. and Canada.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Vanity Numbers Summed Up<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With multiple ways to interpret this data, no matter how you look at it,<strong> Vanity Numbers serve to only help your business and boost your brand recognition.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You may get more calls by putting your Vanity Number in front of younger generations. Or at minimum, you should consider your targeting techniques if your demographic happens to include people younger than Millennials and into the Gen Z generation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>With a vanity number we can assume more eyes on your business phone number. If ramping up your call volume with a Vanity Number, consider strengthening your customer service team to handle potentially higher incoming calls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>And finally, if you operate in both the United States and Canada, you probably should remain consistent between both countries as far as phone coverage is concerned; both countries were similarly engaged with Vanity Numbers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, having a well thought-out strategy will help you tremendously when owning a Vanity Number.
