Your business can't survive without telephones, but even if you have the traditional black, beige or gray variety, you need to consider the many benefits of having a handful of red telephones around. You'll feel important, elite, and extra special, and your clients will see it coming from miles away.The main advantage to having a red telephone is that they are popular, and a best seller of ours. That means that your competitors have them, and they aren't crazy. Much the way a red neck tie speaks power on tap, a red telephone tells people that you have power, prominence and importance. They're just like the ones you see in Cold War movies, except that your call is more practically important, because it leads somewhere more viable than to the guy with his finger on "the button".
These "hot line phones" are not too expensive, but they are very popular. They are cool, sexy like a sports car, and speak of importance like little else. You can pretend you are the president awaiting a call from the Vladimir Putin letting you know that nuclear war has started, or you can just link them from your sales line to your shipping office, so that your clients can know that the people with their fingers on the profit (sales), has direct, unbridled contact with the people who handle the merchandise.
That means that your Red Phone will be more than a hotline between Batman and Commissioner Gordon, it's the very lifeline that connects one line of contact with another. If you have a lobby, you can program it to connect directly to customer service, shipping, or whomever else it is that means so much, just by picking it up.
Besides, come on, it's a red telephone. How cool is that?
