0800 numbers in business
Getting enquiries was what I wanted to be sure of when I opened my marketing business. Despite using the normal formats of newspapers and the internet, I still wanted to make calling us as attractive as possible.
I had read an article about a study carried out by the “Institute of direct marketing” that showed enquiries had increased by 185% when businesses had supplied the recognised free 0800 numbers. The reason is because people sense that feeling that their enquiries are important to you and that it is a privilege for you to help them. Teleculture 2000 made a study that stated 63% of people who calls 0800 numbers first serve important data for any kind of business. Using a freephone number has other advantage such as having a number of call management systems in place. You will be able to answer the calls or direct them to the right place when flexibility is required. These numbers are also proven helpful in terms of moving to bigger premises since I can just take the number with me.
0800 numbers and landline or mobile number can are working together by being the transfer numbers. With the retention of the number, you save time because you don’t have to get new signs, marketing material or paperwork.
Many businesses like to seem that they have a national presence when they only have a local base, this can be for many reasons but the important thing is that the 0800 numbers give that impression to the person looking at your advertisement, you can seem as though you have offices all over the country and it is hopped that this will build confidence.
