Getting a free number for your business is not as difficult as you might think. In recent years, tax-free numbers have become more popular among companies, and as demand has increased, so has the number of companies that offer that number. There is no doubt that buying a toll free number is a good commercial investment. They are effective in almost all industries and are a cost effective way to ensure that they effectively meet the needs of their customers.
To buy an 800 number for your business, simply follow these steps:
1. Determine the need for an 800 number: Does your company need a toll free number? Think about the current situation of your company. Do you think an 800 number will help you improve your sales, marketing efforts or customer service?
2. Decide how to use the number: think about how a toll-free number will work within the daily operation of your business. Should you use it primarily for customer service, as a marketing tool or simply as the most important way for your customers or prospects to communicate with you?
3. Research companies that sell toll-free numbers: it is important to buy an 800 number from an accredited and well established company. Most companies offer their services through their website, which makes the registration process quick and easy.
4. Register for your number: once you select a company, create an account with the company. Registration is a simple process. In most cases, you only need to perform the following small steps:
- Choose the region of your phone number (i.e. city, province and country)
- Select an area with forwarding number (that is, where you want your number to be forwarded)
- Enter your personal and contact information (i.e. name, email, address, etc.)
- Enter your payment method
- A confirmation email will be sent to the specified email address. By replying to this email, your registration is complete and your account will be activated.
5. Check the availability of the desired number: check with the company to see if the desired number is available. If you want to go one step further, you can consider adding a custom phone number.
6. Set a forwarding number: you do not need to add an additional telephone line or change your current telephone service provider. When the number is activated, when someone calls your toll-free number, the number is forwarded to your company, mobile phone or the phone of your choice.
7. Think of other ways to use the number: think about how to use the 800 number in your marketing practice. Add it to your website, business cards, ads and promote your toll free number with your company.
Once your toll free number is in place, any part of your marketing strategy is on track to improve your business reputation and establish yourself as a superior business in your field.
