Let us share a real-life example

that showcases the extraordinary lengths we go to in order to locate, target, and acquire the ideal vanity number for your business:

A few years back,

we received a request from a client who had a specific vanity number in mind: their company name, Dish 1 Up Satellites, Inc. At that time, they were a struggling start-up, facing fierce competition in the national satellite TV retail industry. Fast forward to today, and they are now one of the top five players in the market.
The desired number they wanted was 1-800-Dish-1-Up. However, all toll-free number search engines indicated that it was either unavailable or being used by an unknown entity. When dialed, the number resulted in a “fast busy” signal. The client had already approached three different toll-free number providers and self-proclaimed “specialists,” but none could deliver any results.
When the client turned to AVN, we fully committed ourselves to the task. We invested significant time and resources to uncover the truth. Our investigation led us to discover that the number was just one among thousands held by a Fortune 500 company. It’s worth noting that such companies often possess an extensive range of toll-free numbers, which they utilize, discard, and recycle on a regular basis across their various departments and office locations nationwide.

Having identified the “owner” of the number, our next challenge was cutting through the bureaucratic red tape to find the authorized person responsible for managing the specific toll-free number pool that included 1-800-347-4187 (1-800-Dish-1-Up). This was no easy feat, as very few individuals within the company grasped the nature of our quest or displayed genuine interest. However, through adept storytelling and perseverance, we managed to navigate the obstacles and finally reached the person who held the authority. After an extensive two-week charm offensive, he eventually relented, and we secured the number without any charges. In some instances, we may need to employ more than charm to achieve success.

But our efforts didn’t stop there. Over time, we were able to acquire the 888, 866, and 855 variations of Dish-1-Up. We also worked with the client to develop their trademarked slogan: “Disable the Cable.” With these combined efforts, their business witnessed remarkable growth and success.
This case study exemplifies the unwavering dedication of AVN to go above and beyond in locating, targeting, and acquiring the perfect vanity number for your business. It’s no wonder that even our competitors turn to us when they find themselves in challenging situations.
