The best chance of getting enquiries, is what I wanted to be sure of upon opening my marketing business. To attract more people to call us, I had used the usual formats of newspapers and the internet.
Enquiries are increased up to 185% in businesses by using 0800 numbers according to the research made by “Institute of direct marketing.” 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’s study had provided business an important data in terms of the number of people who would always call the 0800 numbers is at 63%. Call management systems in place is the other advantage when using a free phone number. It is flexible to answer the phone calls or direct them to right place. You can take the number with you anywhere even while moving to larger premises with the help of these numbers.
0800 numbers can easily be redirected to a landline or mobile number. With the number remaining constant, there is no need to get new signs, paperwork or marketing material any more.
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.
