0800 and 0808 Freephone Numbers
Freephone is widely recognised as one of the most powerful marketing tools available to businesses today
Freephone numbers offer a proven way of increasing business and developing customer loyalty.
By enabling potential customers to phone your business free of charge from anywhere in the UK, these numbers are especially valuable when attracting new business.
Research suggests that advertising responses increase anywhere between 50% and 300% when a Freephone number is used in advertising campaigns.
Freephone calls are an obvious attraction to attracting new customers, but they can also help you keep your existing customers. If your customers can ring you for free from anywhere in the UK, they’re more likely to stay with you. Research shows that nearly 70% of people in the UK believe that companies who offer Freephone numbers care more about their customers.
There are also a number of additional benefits, both for your business and your customers that make Freephone numbers even more appealing.
- National Presence - Use of a Freephone number disassociates a business from any particular geographic location, creating the impression of a national presence for customers wherever your business is based
- Professional Image - Freephone numbers are associated with larger businesses by the general public and give customers the confidence to do business with you
- Portability - When a business relocated it's often not possible to retain existing landline telephone numbers. Changing numbers creates costs including producing new company literature. And then there are the issues of having to contact existing customers with notification of the number change. The cost of potential lost revenue is incalculable and a customer, once lost, is harder to win back. Once a Freephone number is in place you never need to change telephone number again
- Improved Call Handling –combine Freephone numbers with Oxygen8’s advanced network features for improved call handling, such as call queuing, divert on busy, time of day and week routing
- Better Marketing Information - Multiple Freephone numbers can point to just one telephone number or location, providing the option to use a different number for various publications and promotions. By using a different Freephone number for different campaigns, your business will be more easily able to monitor the effectiveness of each campaign
- Business Continuity - When an existing landline number or in-house phone system fails, the Freephone number can be diverted to another number, voicemail service, or a hosted DR solution. This allows calls to continue being taken for continuity of business
