For example, numbers such as 1-800-PIZZACO provide an easy-to-remember means of contact that also serves as a marketing tool for your business.
This will work wonders when customers are stuck for services, and recall your vanity number. Numbers such as 1-800-FLOWERS or 1-800-TAXICAB are numbers that companies in the respective industries can register.
Customer Experience
Finding a company’s contact information, especially a phone number, can be a very tedious task. A good majority of websites do not provide a call to action, and those that actually provide information tend to be outdated. The easiest way to lose business is to disconnect with your clients and customers.
Above being a reliable way for customers to easily contact your business, an 800 number is also a convenient way to advertise yourself as a legitimate business.
As mentioned before, toll-free numbers also encourage contact and, ultimately, customer loyalty, as they don’t have to pay to reach you for any service or product inquiries.
Marketing and Analytics
A toll-free number is the best service an 800 number has to offer small businesses. As social media is an ever-evolving space, it is becoming increasingly impossible to track the reach of the ads you place. With a few extensions, a toll-free number is a great way to keep track of how many people were able to track your advertisement
Statistics on 1-800 numbers can also be recorded and analyzed in order to best optimize your business to support calling patterns of customers. As a result, it also serves as a good way to track the customers that call in the most, allowing you to optimize rewards and services.
Portable and Nationally Present
A toll-free number is also flexible in the sense that you would not have to change numbers if you move areas, making it portable and allowing customers reach you no matter where your company is located. This is especially useful in the case of expansions or other logistics-related moves.
Additionally, call forwarding features also allow your clients to reach you even if you’re not in the office at the time.
Memorability
Vanity numbers are toll-free numbers that are tailored to represent your company. These numbers will typically have a hidden message or appeal to them that makes it easier to remember. This makes it much easier for customers and clients to recall your number and services.
