Conveyancing Brisbane

Lots of people are reluctant to deal with home based businesses because they see them as something of a ‘risk’. Why? Because if a problem or dispute arises, they think the company will disappear and they’ll never see their money again. A way to get around this is to have a website and a toll free number, both of which create a virtual storefront. A toll free number means that they can contact you at any time, just like they can walk into a store and talk to a sales or customer service representative whenever they want.

Another benefit of having a toll free number is that you can keep the same number whenever you move house. If you have just a standard landline number, it will be tied to the house / area that you live in. If you wanted to move to a different area, then you would have to get a new number, and any customers who you can’t pass your new number onto will be lost. There are no such problems with toll free phone numbers, which you can keep even if you move to the opposite end of the country.

You can expect your sales to rise as a result of you adopting a toll free phone number. Studies have shown that promotional material distributed with a toll free number on it receives around 30% more calls than the same promotional material distributed with a standard (caller pays) number on it. Pretty impressive, right? If you opt for a vanity number, which is a number that also spells out a word, then the results are even better!

The general public also appreciate toll free numbers because they know that calling will cost them nothing. You may think that the cost of a phone call would not be enough to stop a customer who wants to contact you making the call, but it is a physiological barrier and it does make a difference. Providing a toll free phone number suggests to potential consumers that you really do want them to call you. This earns their trust, and means that you have a head-start on the competition.

There is a common misconception amongst home based business owners that toll free numbers are for ‘big’ businesses only, and that they are too expensive for the ‘small guy’. That is really not the case at all, and there are actually packages available that specifically target businesses that operate from homes. With the competitiveness that exists in the telecommunications industry, you can be sure of getting a great and affordable deal if you look around for it!
