Holiday Shopping at TollFreeNumber.org

Posted by Tollfreenumber.ORG  at November 29th, 2013

Many people get exacerbated during the holidays… So many people to buy for and it always seems like so little time. Emails, texts, and Facebook posts get passed around asking what everyone wants for the holidays, and you will undoubtedly buy something from that list or take your chances at an “off-list” gift. Do you get a ‘fun’gift, a practical gift, something you think they need, or an easy gift (like a gift certificate)?

Believe it or not, us here at TollFreeNumber.org know a thing or two about gift buying! All of our employees are well versed in marketing; we have to be in order to offer toll free service because THAT’S what a toll free number is; a valuable marketing tool. The whole point of marketing is knowing what piques people’s interest. What gets them going? What is it that they WANT?

So, here are a few ideas to get your mind open to getting the best, most thoughtful gifts for your friends and family:

• First off, ask yourself “What does this person do on a daily basis that makes them happy?” Do they drink coffee? Watch TV? Workout? Play video games? Play with their kids? Etc… What is is that they do that makes them light up?

• Secondly, going off of what they like to do most… What would make their life EASIER? We all want things to be more convenient and if you can shave off a few minutes here or there from a task or just be able to do it without getting a headache it’s so worth it! For instance, and let’s make this easy… If you’ve got a coffee lover on your hands (don’t we all?!) and they make coffee at home, consider a fancy bag of organic, fair trade roasted heavenly goodness that they can wake up to! Or, perhaps a new coffee bean grinder or even a wonderful new machine with a timer so those early mornings are easier to handle! Or maybe they’re a Starbucks connoisseur… A spill proof/kid proof/life proof to-go coffee mug that won’t burn up their hands and won’t fall out of their car cup holder… WIN!

• Thirdly, avoid giving gifts JUST to give a gift. It sounds silly at first but think about it… If someone said to you, “I couldn’t think of anything you might like but wanted to get you something so I got you this… Thing.” The “thought” only counts if it’s actually thoughtful.

• Lastly, consider doing something for someone that will take the burden of their budget! You could cover the cost of their monthly cable bill, buy them a few weeks worth of groceries. If said person wants to start or already owns a business, consider the gift that truly keeps on giving… A TOLL FREE NUMBER! Many people shy away from getting a toll free number because they don’t want to take on extra costs. Little do they know that a toll free number is only a tiny investment compared to what they’ll get in return – lots of customers, piece of mind, a professional look, and more money to buy you something wonderful next year!
