Branded Caller ID
for the Reatil Industry
There’s more at stake than a single sale or delivery. Whether you’re a big-box retailer or the shop around the corner, the key to repeat business is an extraordinary customer experience. People rank the phone call as the number one preference for customer service communications over mobile app and text messaging.
Brand Reputation Matters.
Retailers Need To Brand Their Calls.
Consumers view a branded call as a superior experience, making retail voice communications a premium opportunity for your sales revenues. Branded calling can make your customers feel valued and it can improve your brand reputation. You’re already branding your advertisements, website, and other marketing efforts – so why not the phone call?

Case Study
No More Missed Connections
The customer experience doesn't end when they walk out of the store. Missed connections can lead to lost time and revenue for your business.
One of First Orion’s clients — a premier home improvement retail chain - sends post-purchase reminder phone calls to customers. Due to unwanted robocalls, customers weren't answering their calls, leading to missed deliveries and increased costs. With INFORM, the retailer saw immediate results - on-time deliveries and happier customers.
Branded Communication lets retailers clearly identify themselves to their customers’ right on their incoming call screens. It also boosts effectiveness of account services and support calls, improving customer payments, retention, and satisfaction.
“We were talking with our CEO and showed him a branded call experience from First Orion, and everybody on the executive leadership team thought it was awesome. It just clicked with them that we need this because nobody picks up the phone anymore if they don’t know who’s calling.”

Shoppers Buy In to the Phone Call
Today, people use their phone or computer to buy online as often or more than in-person, opting for delivery or curbside pickup. Retailers have many digital options when it comes to connecting with buyers. Yet for customer support, more buyers prefer a phone call over a mobile app, SMS, or any other method. And for urgent matters, the phone call wins hands down at 55%.
The problem? 60% of customers report having missed calls from stores they’ve purchased from, simply because they didn’t recognize the caller’s number. This means they’re getting a subpar customer experience and missing out on important updates about their orders. More importantly — these missed connections can lead many to consider whether to take their business elsewhere.
Branded Communication boosts the effectiveness of calling programs and account services and support calls – improving customer acquisition and retention.
