Does your business need a North Carolina area code?

Local numbers are a great way to make a small business seem bigger, or for larger enterprises to establish a local presence without having to rent or lease a physical location there. With a 252 area code number for North Carolina, for instance, you can set up a virtual branch out of cities like Greenville, Edgecombe, and Beaufort—without having to rent or buy a physical office space.

And if you're running a marketing campaign that's trying to get potential customers to dial your business number, you can increase the chances of them calling if you make it a local number. Typically, people are far more likely to call since they won't have to worry about long-distance charges. And when you call them, they’ll be more inclined to pick up the phone if it's a local North Carolina area code on the caller ID.

North Carolina has the nine biggest population out of all the states, and actually contains the biggest research park in the United States (Research Triangle Park).

And fun fact, Greenville's nickname is "BMX Pro Town USA" because of the many top professional BMX riders who live there.
