0300 numbers 0845, 0844, 0800, 01, geographical numbers!
There are so many to choose from.
how do you choose the numbers that will be most effective for your business?.
The best performing numbers for local businesses are local geo numbers (0113 Leeds 01423 Harrogate) These numbers are trusted. In recent years 0800 & 0808(freephone ) have been the choice for a lot of businesses, but these do not have the trust factor. I am not saying they do not work because they do, it depends on the size of your business and if you are showing an address.
A big factor is the area you cover. I have seen many companies use a Leeds area code in Harrogate and fail to get a return on investment. At the same time companies in Leeds using the area code for Harrogate in their adverts have done very well.
0845 tends to be a grudge call because you can pay 5p a minute unless you are with BT.So using that number to make you look bigger will backfire.
0300 numbers have yet to make to make an impact for local businesses so I would not rush out and get one of these to try and be trendy, almost like the .tel domains that never took off.
The cost to ring 0300 numbers the same as standard 01/02 phone numbers even from a mobile phone (41% of all calls are now made from mobiles).
before you get yourself a 0300 number get expert advice to see what is best for your business.
