subject: Why 0800 Numbers Have Gained In Popularity [print this page] Recently, many companies, large and small, have switched to having a freephone number as their main telecoms number. This is because of the general ease and hassle free benefits it brings.
Besides the obvious features of allowing free calls to customers and a boost in calls to a business, the many added features now available have expanded the services that 0800 freephone numbers offer.
Businesses are generally busy environments and the simplicity of setting up an 0800 number also adds to the appeal alongside all the other useful attributes. As more and more people realise the benefits and increase in sales leads their competitors have by owning a freephone number, the attraction is even greater.
Extra features offered include; monitoring marketing progress with different 0800 numbers linked to different advertisements, call forwarding allowing greater availability and voicemail options along with cutting the office stationery costs by converting all faxes to email. These features all allow businesses to become more efficient and lessen their extra expenses incurred by needing extra staff, eradicating the marketing middle man and many more.
The companies that have realised the appeal free 0800 numbers have to their potential customers are certainly reaping the benefits. It is hard to believe, but amidst all the money laden marketing and advertising promotion lies a simple means to propel your business in its existing industry; a phone number. Believe it or not, your phone number can determine where you are, how big you are and, if you choose your digits, how memorable you are.
Every phone call is precious to a business, regardless of their size. In order to catch those potential customers that may otherwise slip through your fingers due to a missed call or that extra call cost swaying them towards a cheaper alternative, it is not surprising why more and more companies are investing a small amount in such a rewarding facility.
