Reasons To Get Vanity Phone Numbers

By Mark Peterson


If you have a business, you are required to keep a landline number that you have to submit as your contact information for government offices and customers. Telephone companies offer various packages for businesses when it comes to their communication needs. One of your options is to sign up for vanity phone numbers that will let you choose a special sequence for your company. Here are some reasons for subscribing to this.

Having a telephone number that follows a pattern makes it easier for customers to remember to call you when they need your product or service. This will also prevent them from incorrectly calling a wrong number because of entering a wrong digit. If you are going to create advertisements, a premium number also looks great in it. It can also enhance your business cards.

In having a special number, you show your potential clients that you mean business. You are willing to invest in tools that will make it easier for them to reach out to you. A number which spells out your company also shows that you are proud of your brand. Many customers look for a company that is reachable, reliable and easy to do business with.

Because the premium number can be a series of consecutive digits or a patterned set of digits, you have many options when it comes to the telephone number that you prefer. You can choose one that is related to your physical address or you can even choose a series that spells out your company's name, product or vision.

If your customers are located in several areas with different area codes and calling you may cost additional fees, you can also sign up for a toll-free number. This will reduce your customer's worries about having to spend more when calling you, regardless of where they are in the country. But if your business only serves a few area codes, you can check with your telephone company about purchasing the same series of numbers within different area codes.

Your telephone number becomes a part of your business branding so make sure that you choose well. Consider which would be more accessible and easier for your customers to remember. If you choose a number that spells out a word, be sure to include the corresponding numerical counterparts, since some users do not have access to an alpha-numeric keypad.

Once you have made up your mind about getting a special number, inquire with your telephone company about the contract period. This lock in period reserves the number for you for a specific period. Not being aware on this may pose problems related to early termination fees or not being able to renew your contract to reserve the digits for another year.

Choosing a special number can bring you new customers and can retain existing ones, because people would like to deal with businesses that make things easier for them without sacrificing professionalism. Be sure to weigh the costs on activation, monthly fees, termination, and certain call forwarding or answering features.
