0800 numbers in business

Posted June 12th, 2009 by admin

What I aimed to do when I opened my marketing business was to increase my chances of attracting enquiries into the business. Increasing the possibility of calling us can be done by using normal formats of newspapers and the internet.

I read from one article that the Institute of Direct Marketing carried out a study that there could be a 185% increase in enquiries when businesses displayed free 0800 numbers. People must get the feeling that you don’t want to charge their enquiries for a fee and that each of their enquiries is important to you. The study made by teleculture 2000 has an important data for any businesses like 0800 numbers were always called first by 63% of the people. It is advantageous in using a freephone because of a number of call management systems in place. These will help you be flexible in answering the calls or directing them to the right place when required. To be able to just take the number with me is one of the advantages of these numbers when it comes to moving to larger premises.

Landline or mobile number would be a good transfer number for 0800 numbers. Saving yourself from getting new signs, paperwork or marketing material is another advantage of retaining your number.

If you wish to build confidence in your company with visitors to your website or viewers of your advertisements 0800 numbers can be a great way of doing this, they allow you to imply that your company is larger that it actually is with multiple offices rather than just one. It also helps give the impression that you have a number of employees waiting to take customers calls.
