Toll-free Numbers Make Local Businesses Competitive

Posted by Tollfreenumber.ORG  at December 28th, 2013

Irvine, Calif. – With today’s widespread use of the internet, small businesses can get their names in front of potential customers like never before. But being seen won’t help if customers perceive that the business is too far away from them geographically. Tollfreenumber.ORG can provide small businesses with phone numbers that are not specific to a location, making them more attractive to potential clients nationwide.

One problem with using a local number for business purposes is that customers are simply more likely to have positive feelings toward a business from their own hometown. A Los Angeles business using a 213 area code might not appeal to someone 1,000 miles away. A toll-free number gives no indication of where the business is located, so there is no risk of alienating potential customers from other cities and states.

“No matter who is looking or where they are from, when people see a toll-free number, they’ll relate to it like it’s from their own hometown,” said Tollfreenumber.ORG CEO Logan Marshall. “In a way, a toll-free number represents that you do local business, everywhere.”

Of course, being perceived as local is only one benefit of a toll-free number: People looking for goods or services are much more likely to make a call inquiring about a business if they know it will not cost them anything. “Customers believe they shouldn’t have to pay to contact you because they are the one buying your product,” Marshall said.
