Back in July we wrote of getting telephone calls where the caller asks whether this is FedEx. It is not, but as it turns out our toll-free number is only a few digits off from the FedEx number, so a few careless callers a a month get us when what they want is FedEx.
We wondered whether FedEx gets calls from people seeking badges.
Today a new wrong number has cropped up. So far today we have received two calls from persons seeking MyWedding.com, the toll-free number for which is identical to ours except for the first three digits.
Ours is 800. Theirs is 866.
Still, it is a sales opportunity for us. We have in the past sold beach badges to persons planning beach-themed wedding receptions. So maybe we need to change our telephone greeting to "Thank you for calling the Badge Company. May we help plan your wedding?"
